Question for all you who know!
If I bid VD to a new category, and projected training ends up in a month with a commitment (let's say a wedding - not my own), is there a way to request that the training is not scheduled on certain days, or do I get what I get? I know for regular CQ I can bid "golden days". Just wondering if this applies for new category training too. Thanks!

Is July 24,2012 a Federal holiday? ATL 320B. SIX guys on short call out of 13 on reserve tomorrow. Total pilots in category is only 70. What gives with all the short calls? I admit Delta does as Delta does. I hate driving from home to look at someone else's four walls.

They are getting close to the end of the month. If they have lots of short call availability, ie guys that haven't been assigned many short calls, they will double up to "catch up". You are better off to get them out of the way if you don't want to sit in a crash pad in fits and starts.

Shortcallpalooza.
Sometimes we require 14 on SC and don't have 14 available, in a category of nearly 100 reserve pilots. I think we end up putting line holders on short call.

Got pulled off my deadhead to my base. Rerouted into a golden day. I am an angry Hoser.

23.A.15. "Hard non-fly day means a non-fly day on which a pilot may not be inversely assigned to a rotation (e.g., vacation, APD day, reserve PD day, ALPA, legal duty, MLOA, or golden X-day)."

its not supposed to happen but it does, happened to me and the union said "its not supposed to happen but theres nothing in the contract that says what happens if it does happen..." I wasnt happy and thought they'd at least have to pay you greenslip pay or something because whats the purpose of golden days if they can be violated without recourse....
all you get is your time back that you missed....
