Dera I just heard back from 2 FOs on the 74 and they are barely flying. They want to know where all this opens time is.

They must be new. Tell them open time goes to the senior folks and sometimes the fastest to reply if it's last minute. Company has thanked those picking it up. I guess they should have said - Thank you to those who are able to pick OT up....

Or, do they work at Kalitta or National, etc. Don't know if they have plenty or not so much. Maybe they were prank callers.

Or, DERA can teach them where to look specifically. I will say - check your email....
(Just counted 23 new OT emails since 2:56AM today.)

Tell them crew planning is buying back vacation. That's how understaffed we are.

Or maybe they aren't on the 747, or even at Atlas. Or maybe you just don't have friends.

Your post history is solid, so please quit saying 747-800. As you know (so I hope (lest you don't really fly for Atlas as you seem to indicate)) the -800 doesn't exist. I know, small potatoes, but I dare say that I have a valid point.

Last evening we had 19 747 FO trips open. Some were awarded to CAs as there weren't enough FOs to take them all. Either your friends aren't familiar with how our OT system works, or they don't work here.

Don't have friends? Wow you are a comedian. Did you get bullied at school and this is how you deal with it?

This is why most people steer clear of this website.
