If declaring the emergency doesn't handle the problem, someone gets fired.

They had to split up a week long MD-11 RFO pairing due to lack of reserves. Will cost about 10K on that one....

I think you mean, "elects to return to the line."

Plenty of ANC FO Open Time

I just counted 12 ANC FO open time trips between 24-31 Oct with several that are X-tras. I bet there will be some phones ringing before long. Thank God I was able to scrape together a 60 hour line for November.

The dreaded 4a2c

From the CBA (secret codicil): "In the event that 4a2b and Optimizer on maximum setting do not achieve the desired result, the heretofore unpublished 4a2c will be implemented. Any managers able to say with a straight face "Four Legs in the Critical Duty Period is Safe" will be offered a 300% Draft bonus to fly said four legs. Adverse weather has no bearing on the FedEx flying operation; we have a waiver for that."
