Looks like it does. Change your profile to reserve and it pulls up the SC/FSBs for tomorrow from which you can enter a pickup request.

It used to be called E-Trip Trader and for a reserve (which my wife was back until 09), it was very handy to auto pick up open trips, or trips that might come open that open when you're not available. Was very handy when trying to grab a trip rather than risk being assigned an open short call.

Haven't resigned up yet since her return in 02/14 but will shortly.

Things have "evolved." Now we're trying to grab a short call rather than risk being assigned field standby.

Oh God, field standby. Totally forgot that existed.

Sit in the airport from 2-6am to cover the high priority charter and you won't forget it again.

2:00 am field standby? For one charter? I'd probably just call the FO and say "Hay you gonna be there?" and then go back to sleep.

The can, so they do, at little to no cost.

What I like about as a guy on reserve is that it's quick access to see where I'm at in the SILO/FIFO. no need to log into CCS with two passwords. APU'ing a trip is nice because you can arm it and let it do the work for you.
