He originally referred us to the grid that references ALV and he later corrected / edited his post to point to the proper graph. We got it all figured out as posted a few pages ago by IAFLYER.

Good deal.

If someone is ending a trip that day and needs rest then they shouldn't be on the list as they aren't available!! ARGH!!!!!

Amen.

J you were at Coex, what did they have? Or anyone who has worked under a more informative and user friendly system, how was it set up?

NWA had a very similar list, but if you weren't legal then you weren't on it. Or, if you were on FAR rest there was a code next to your name to indicate so. It was much more convienent and didn't require snooping around other people's schedules.

And I was at CoEx, but I honestly can't remember anything about CCS except the open time screen. Why? Because as a EWR RSV CA all I ever saw was the open time screen as I tried to decide which trip I would prefer to pick up in the Agressive Pickup Window.

But there really wasn't much choice. It was usually a pick between 17 hour 4 days with SHV, AEX, & LCH layovers or MTY, SHV, LFT layovers. All the hotspots.

I have a question that's been answered here at least 14 times: When you go from a month where you have a line with a spillover trip, to a month on reserve, what happens to the credit from the spillover days?

I had a hard choice to make:

a. Go back and look for a previous competent answer
b. Look it up in the contract and attempt to understand what I found
c. Look for underboob and post it as tribute.

Well the credit spills to the next month, but I'm fairly certain it just counts toward your projected credit. IOW, you aren't paid in addition to your guarantee.

Four years after the Christmas meltdown, Comair went to a "new & improved" crew scheduling system. It allows you to see free reserves listed by seniority, and it also shows days available, reserve window, and monthly credit. You can click on a box and see which reserves already have assignments, the trip credit, and release times.

We'll be done with it on September 30th if you want it.

Vacation Slide?

Anyone played with this yet? Is there any limit to how many days we can slide the vacation? Is it subject to normal rules (ie if we could have held those days off anyways) for getting days off?

This is a nice feature to have; just hoping to get some intel prior to the bid closing tomorrow.
