A few weeks later the company sent a certificate with the airplane number, hours and cycles it had when we retired it, along with one of those keychains made from aircraft skin. It was a really cool experience I never would’ve been able to take part in had I not been browsing MOT.

I thought I had that going but they found the two trips intersecting in Vegas and transitioned me from the three day at the end of February to the four day at the beginning of March making it a five day. I’ll know better next time.

This definitely needs to be addressed in the next contract. Definitely one of my no-go
items.

on the company website you can see where they will split you trip based on city pairs. It's in flight ops, bidding or thereabouts.
if you're bidding reserve to make an overlap problem, don't. scheduling will flip one or the other to make it work. You'll never win with reserve.
