I used my 3 transfer days when I was a new hire. No problem. How often do YOU change domiciles that you need more than 3 days every 18 months? Because I assure you, out of the 12000+ pilots on property those affected by this issue are far fewer than say, satellite bases. Or even getting intercoms on guppies. You're not even the 1%. You're the .1%.

Nothing worthwhile for you? I don't even know what conflict bidding is. Or was. I see that dang "C75 TTL F+NF < MINIMUM - This error checks both pilot's calendars" message probably every time I try to trip trade.

My pay is not affected by this in any negative way. What is significant to you? Because I'm gonna go way out on a limb and guess its not significant to anything like 5% of the group.



Ha ha ha. just kidding. I don't really care. Its nice to get rid of that 50 hour nonsense. The other stuff doesn't affect me at all. But you guys are getting all frothy over a nothing sandwich. Take a breath.

 

When does the LOA go into effect then? I tried to pick up and still see this message...

"C75 TTL F+NF < MINIMUM - This error checks both pilot's calendars" Explanation: indicates that the trade will reduce a Pilot’s F + NF hours below 50 for a bid period. This rule checks BOTH pilots’s calendars, so the trade wouldn’t cause your hours to drop below 50 then it is likely that it would cause an issue with the other pilots calendar.

I have no other conflicts for this trip I’m trying to pick up and it’s almost two weeks out. No other issues I can see. There are others senior to me who desire it also, but aren’t getting it either. Hmmm, did I miss an implementation date for when the no dropping below 50 hrs in a bid period goes away?

All arguments aside regarding whether or not we should have voted, If our union gave up something for us to get us something when do the trip trade computer programs delete this restriction and give it back?

 

The LOA is on the ALPA site. It was signed 10/31. Company has 120 days to implement.

 

Thanks saw the LOA but missed the 120 to implement.

 

While I totally agree with you on this issue (it was a good trade) - being able to drop to <50 hrs in exchange for limiting transfer days (there were some pilots who would lateral every vacancy bid in order to get more transfer days) and conflict bidding, what is not important to one pilot may be very important to another pilot.
I recall you getting very upset on another thread about my lack of concern over an issue you felt was extremely important. I had viewed the issue you were upset about as a 'nothing sandwich'.
