That rates a call to Steve M. at MEC mil affairs. This sounds like it probably has legs for a USERRA violation, a grievance, or both.

I know it's a pain, but for the sake of all of us, please follow up.

As of this afternoon, # of reserves for the Maddog F/O seat who haven't had a trip assigned is about a half dozen. Lowest leveling among them = 40+. Definitely looks like we're overmanned.

Weather now stretches from several hundred miles into the gulf to southern Wisconsin and Michigan. Getting to the planet from the west doesn't look bad. Good luck all you folks operating from points east.

Should be an interesting night.

I hope they call me tonight. I've already had 2 beers, and dinner is ready, which means I need to open a bottle of red. Sorry, I just can't make it tonight.....

Default More Bus FO Draft

Had to say no again tonight. It's still there in Open Time; hope someone (else) enjoys the draft pay. Got family plans myself. Man, it would sure be nice to have some reserve lines to assign this to, right? Six months ago there is no way with my juniority I could even sniff a regular line (just call me Mr. VTO), but hey--these days I'm a (not-so) regular lineholder; movin' on up! What's wrong with this picture? I'm ready for peak--how 'bout y'all?

Trip 5109 MEM 30 23OCT09 (ASBY)
Shows in 0 days 0:54 hours
Block Pay 3:59

ANC FO trip 2034 on 23 OCT unfilled. 19+ hour trip. Abnormal to not be assigned yet. Looking for a draft doggie soon.

Yeah, we definitely aren't too fat in ANC. Came off of a "fluish" event this week on RA+ to get a 40 hour trip assigned. This has been the norm lately. The difference with this one is that they assigned it 40+ hours before it left with two guys with more days left and less leveling than me. Puts my leveling at 85+ hours for the month (77.5 RLG).
Called the scheduler and said that I knew about the 50 TAFB rule but why didn't she leave it in open time for two days to see if it might get picked up. She just laughed at me

When I got in from BUF tonight to complete my R days with 74 hrs of leveling, I had a message on my phone offering draft for an out and back. Umm, no thanks.

They have a plan and you aren't allowed to know what it is.
