Why can't I swap a red eye for a 4 day that starts on the same day. W t fudge is wrong with this system, low revs coverage on the day of the red eye. And CS says "per our union" they can not manually change anything that flica can't do......! I'm swapping a single effing red eye (5 days off prior-5 days of post) for a 4 day diff base.
1) Contact ALPA Scheduling Reps to get it resolved, then;
2) File an NCC if necessary.
If you don't do that, then no one can fix it and we all suffer.

As a side note, when stuff like this happens, pick up your phone and call your rep or Sched cmte. Complaining about it on a web board is completely useless.

Is either day of the redeye red? If so, that's why it's denied. Trading a trip in one base for a trip in another is the same as submitting a drop request and an add request. Red/red does not apply for out of base transactions.

Spirit Quality of Life
I'm thinking about applying to Spirit. I've been flying 135 for 10 years, have about 7000tt, 3500 turbin pic, 1100 jet pic, but no 121. First question, do you guys/gals think I'd get an interview?
Next, what is the quality of life at Spirit like? Do people enjoy working there? How does there schedule work? How long would it take to be able to hold 4 days off at a time?
If there is somewhere that has this information listed I'd appreciate a point in the right direction.
Thank you

-You very well may Get an interview, who knows (dont know what the trick is anymore).
-As far as QOL goes, living in base makes a huge difference but QOL has been absolutely stellar! Sure we need to improve a bunch of things contractually (Pay, tighten up language, retirement) but the day to day job/crews/airplane/Reserve rules etc are all great. (as far as comparing to other Majors/LCC, I have no idea)
-4 days off (supposed to be 5) other than during the transition is mandatory Sometimes ya even get 5 or 6, lol
Ive been here a year and 4 months, here is my August Schedule. (not much variety in Destinations out of ACY but I bid basically for days/weekends off)
