Default FDX - Thursday night open time

While appDude is nice enough to work on a Safari fix, let me apologize for hijacking this thread (I couldn't see starting a new one for this).

I'm reasonably certain that Capt. open should be available tonight at 1930CT. Here's my question ... when I checked open time about 4 hours ago I would guess that there were approximately 23 trips (almost exclusively 1-day, 6 credit hour trips). Now, approximately an hour prior to open time release there are only 10 trips. Assuming the missing trips have been picked up by someone, how is it possible to pick up trips prior to open time release??? Is there any way to legally do that? Enquiring minds want to know?

Thoughts?

Could have been built into custom lines for someone coming off IOE?

In the 4 hours prior to open time release? Really?

I love that a 58hr trip is now gone, nothing dropped into open time to replace it, and the guy is a calendar blocker.

You'll notice the question mark at the end of my post. Some of it may have been due to that. All of it, I doubt it. Could be they screwed up a few VTOs and had to add some to some of them. Just spit balling here.

At least some trips went to a custom line... there certainly could have been more than one such line. Others to training/IOE/line checks?

Whatever happened to "priming the pump" for open time? Guys have complained before about not getting a sweet trip on a VTO and then seeing it in open time.

The answer was always "Skeds keeps some trips to prime the pump when trip trading starts."

I guess not anymore. On the MD-11 FO side, with 2 minutes to go there is one (1) trip in open time after 4 Aug. I guess that pump doesn't need priming after all.

Yep, happened last month too. I actually tracked down the "missing" OT pairings - they were all on the calendars of brand new Capt's with employee #s beginning with 4

Back to the original thread:
FxeGrid still will not work on Safari 6 Mt Lion or Lion.
I did upgrade to Mt Lion and observed same.
I did not see a quick fix, but will work this weekend.
In the mean time I suggest using the mini browser in the app:
Fx eGrid>Choose Browser>Fx eGrid.
By still using the app you will get notified when a new version is available.
Yes, it not full featured and you may sometimes still want to login directly with Safari.
Cheers
