Should be a 4 day. 10PM departure on Monday for example lands you in SYD at 7AM on Weds morning. 32 hour layover. 3PM departure from SYD on Thursday lands back in LAX 9AM Thursday. I personally can not imagine a better trip for QOL. Late report, long layover in an awesome city and early arrival back in base on go home day.

20 747 Capt bid wb Capt in either LAX or SFO
3 747 Cap bid Den 756 Capt.
2 bid LAX 737 CA.

747 FO's:

18 bid LAX 737 Capt.
20 bid LAX 777 FO
15 bid SFO 747 FO
7 bid SFO 777 FO

This distribution, coupled with retirements will not necessitate further bumps.

So far pretty close. Latest snapshot shows most of the Captains going to 777 Captain in LAX which is going to cause bumps there. Some of the FOs are going to 756 Cap or 76T Cap. The rest to SFO on the 747.

So far nobody bidding to the guppy, but only about 1/3 of the pilots show up on the snapshot because they have not submitted their choice yet.

They are all staying west coast except one FO going 756 Captain in EWR.

First I assume you are bragging about your golf score?

Ok the real question is considering the contract does not allow for displacement bumps why do you keep insisting there will be some?

Where's the "snapshot?"

The displacement (surplus) allows a pilot to bump ("be bumped" more accurately) into any fleet/seat/domicile that his seniority can hold. The company determines if a surplus in a fleet/seat/domicile exists, then uses the displacement process to level manpower. It's just UAL verbiage, obviously "displacement" meant something different at l-Cal.

It's time you get with the program and learn what things are called here, you work for United now! :D

OK Here's one problem with golfer's posts

"Other than the affected category, no pilot can be displaced from his/her category by virtue of a displacement award."

So where's the bumping?

Second we exUAL pilots don't have "Working Together" or at least I can't find it.

OK found the link but it fails on the Flying Together site. Great IT!

Because we have had them every month for the last 3 months?

Maybe that's why.
