Are there any creative ways out of that? Like swapping into a different trip that finishes later to conflict out the later trip or something (not allowed I'm sure)? I'm grasping at straws here I know.

Whiteslippers do this all the time. double dipping. If you have a DH only leg all you need is a 9 hour break, and for a flying leg you need 10 hours.

I can't speak to any other interview groups but at mine, one of the folks who was ultimately cut gave a very, very, -very- "prepped" answer when we were first introduced to the hiring managers in the interview holding room. To that person's credit they did their very best to follow the script from a prep company, but the hiring managers almost visibly cringed at it.

The prep service I used was very useful in the context that I never would have fleshed out my answers the way I did, had I not gone through a prep service. At the same time I was very careful to ad-lib most of my answers using the prep service's structure as a general guide, but not turn-by-turn directions.

Luckily I was able to un-**** my schedule by constantly trolling OT and swapping. Lesson learned the hard way about bidding.

It does matter how authentic you are if you can't articulate. Nobody wants have to unpack a rambling and incoherent response to an interview question.

Top class Actors and comedians sound authentic don't they? It's because they practiced their cadence and delivery over and over again for hours. Top interview prep companies don't give you the answer to interview questions, but they set up a structure for you to intelligently articulate your responses using your own ethos and experiences. That's authentic

According to a good friend of mine at Endeavor who loves Reubens, less than 2 years.

If I put in a GS with an auto accept/acknowledge if on duty does it just go through automatically with no need to use ARCOS? Anything else that I would need to know about using the auto acknowledge? Been slacking for months and need to try to pick up a GS.

Thanks Scoop
