In theory, a golden day makes you immune to being junior assigned on that day. Regular days off are subject to junior assignment. You can bid up to 3. Best way to do it is to bid the first day in a group of days off as golden. Since they have to give you that day off, once you're off you're not required to be contactable, so the phone goes off or silent for the whole group of days off.

Anyone else having trouble with the US wings site tonight? I'm trying to list for a ride to CLT but it keeps saying there's no flights available, no matter what date I put in. I tried logging off and back on but still no luck.

It doesn't matter what it is what matters is when you get here. As of by the time you get here with no new flying announced; 3 years.

flaps had a pretty good explanation for this a while ago. Later I found it in the contract and it says about the same thing.

I wonder if they still contractually reserve the right to junior assign you if there's literally nobody else. But it probably almost never comes up.

Seems to be working on my end.

Yeah, it's back to normal now

Be careful if you're TDY in DFW. There's a skunk that forages around the hotel at night looking for food. And, I was just verbally attacked by a crazy woman in the breakfast room.

You get 3 golden days a month. You can bid more then 3 because the contract does limit the amount the company can give out on any given day (but they haven't been lately).

Has to be on a day off. Done through the link on the pilot lounge. Best to use on the day AFTER a trip to limit ja issues

Was prob one of our fa's

I'm at Comfort Suites. Did you mean it was a FA that was the skunk last night? I think you're right. This woman is f-ing crazy. Ive never been verbally assaulted by a crazy woman like this before unless I was married to her.
