Scheduling is in the process of pulling your trip with pay for training.

They will call you if it becomes official. If you're smart you should pick something up on top of the trip you were originally scheduled to fly. You'll get pay for the 4 day pulled and paid time and a half for whatever you grab.

It means they are taking you off the trip with pay for FO IOE. Enjoy it! It happened to me once in my 4 years as a FO. It's "pending" because if the LCA misses his commute or calls in sick etc... you'll be back on the trip. Which also happened to me once

No. No owp. You'll worm. Put your head down, donky.

I don't think it's changed since I left ZW, but the company would withhold all trips from the FO bid pack for known IOE. Every once in a while, the FO OWP would happen but it usually meant it was unplanned/unforeseen extra IOE for a new hire so that's my guess.

Yep. I had my open time pick up dropped with pay. Thanks LCA!! I was trying to pick up another 4 day, getting greedy and looking for 300% pay. Nothing available in ORF though, dammit.

Enjoy my friend! Your Off With Pay, barring the LCA being sick or the new FO. It has happened to me 7 times in 2.5 years. No clue how I got that lucky. The best part is you can pick up a trip and get paid time and a half for it! (Plus your original trip). It's beautiful.

I am crediting 135 hrs for Feb due to one OWP trip which I picked up a 4 day, then I picked up a 3 day later on in the month.

It is an awesome thing to have happen. As for hiding the lines in FLICA, they dont. You have to look on the paper bid packet, but just below the RSV lines, you will see Lines Reserved for IOE: and it list them. Then you can find the line that has the most OE trips or at least one and hopefully you get lucky.

Just because they are reserved for OE doesn't mean it will happen. Given the fact we have hardly ANY newhires coming through it probably won't happen as much.

Damn!!! I would have commuted outside of ORF for that chance lol. Wow. Nice

Remember, any trips being used for OE that aren't pulled in the bid packet will mean the FO gets OWP, regardless of if it's a new hire or an upgrade getting OE.

I also had good luck getting trips bought for OE when I was an FO. Once you upgrade, that little perk goes away...

Very well played!
