I just tried to get onto the ALPA trade site......can't even find it. I may be stupid but the ALPA site is horrific.

I agree, alpa site navigation is horrible and the rss feeds need more info than "trade trip 29". How about "MEM 727 CA trip 29/20DEC"?

Or, append each header with fleet/seat info as they are posted.
That way, you don't have to click and login just to find the trip is for a different fleet/seat.
Let me know if I'm missing something!
Thanks!
You aren't missing anything. The RSS feed is just the basic model-- no filters, no headers, just the first XXX characters of the Header/Body.

Agreed, this should be the Standard for Headers, but most folks rationalize that I'm in the "MEM 727 CA" sub-area, I don't need all that extra stuff in my post. They don't know about (or care) how the RSS feeds are structured.

Shameless plug: MagicWebFX's Beta Version 2.01 has special FDX ALPA website features that make getting to some favorite spots easier.

Here's 1 good reason to consider something new: NOBODY uses the current one.

Frankly, we do enough "verifying" at FX with rotating 30-day passwords, e-Grids, 5 digit passwords to view open time, birthdays, SSAN's, and employee #'s. Not to mention navigating the rest of our e-lives.

Something simple and effective might just work.

I've seen tons more trip giveaways posted on the ALPA site the last few days due to the futures schedulers' pre-programmed "Denied Insufficient Reserves" for most fleets/seats in mid-December (12-15).

But, (in my best Jessie Jackson voice) "The Point is Moot," since--for most folks--tons of ASTBYs and (coincidentally) matching Max Open slots = ZERO flexibility in Bid Line Adjustments for line holders.

Reserve line holders continue to have no flexibility in moving/dropping R-days. So they will get tapped for all the ASTBYs.

And AVA is not available in your seat.

I think we're way short on captains, myself. When is the next bid, anyway?
