Right now CCS shows me at 7% so unless all 50 JFK-76T-FOs jump in front of me I think I'll be able to hold some decent trips and it sounds like a pretty good fleet/seat to hang out in 'til the dust settles.
I can't find anything showing IRO on the PBS line awards. Is it shown in the line awards or just the bids packages?
Thanks again for all the input.

When you show up for the first leg of a trip you must determine which set of rules will apply to you: 1)un-augmented 2)augmented 3)split duty. In the case of EWR-BOM-EWR or EWR-GRU-EWR the length of the first leg dictates that you will be flying under Augmented Flight rules and therefore the limits outlined in the table above will apply. When you land at your destination you do not "re-acclimate" until after 36 hours of rest at a minimum so any additional flying you do prior to that is considered part of your original Flight Duty Period. In other words EWR-GRU-EWR or EWR-BOM-EWR as is currently scheduled is a SINGLE FDP (Flight Duty Period) and is therefore limited to the total duty limitations in the table above. The only way to "re-acclimate" is to rest for 36 hours.
I have been wrong before and I could be wrong here and in fact I hope I am, but I've contacted numerous ALPA reps and I'm waiting to get back a definitive answer.

Yuck!

Would I fly all three aircraft (752, 753, and 764) on IOE?

For those of you awarded the 756, there is some gouge out there. Part of which is the question bank w/ answers that you will take for the SKE (Systems Knowledge Evaluation). The SKE is in place of the Oral part of the checkride. Anyway, I made flash cards that are to be used with the GFlash app that works on the iPhone and Droid. Send me a pm and I will add you to the users. You have to have a Gmail email address for it to work because I use GoogleDocs.
It is a pretty good program because you can sit there and study the cards. The cards are all I studied and I only missed one on the test.
