Lol. I'm guessing he did it intentionally to try and get paid for a 12 day trip he was illegal to fly?

Same with the NOV-DEC method.

Look again, it's up. I went to the NOV awards and just change NOV to capitalized DEC and NYC7ERB is up.

The only one that won't seem to pull up, and I've checked a bunch, is ATL88B.

Dammit.

Actually, ATL7ERB isn't out yet either. Must be the two categories of size must come last. Probably out tomorrow at 10.

I can get the DEC 7ERB for NYC, MSP, LAX and SEA, but not ATL, DTW and SLC. It doesn't like me.

I'll try again after the gym. Maybe a workout will calm the nerves.

Well.. I got Christmas Eve off.

....But not my wife's 30th bday. Whoops! She'll be 8.5 months pregnant then, so not a whole lot of partying, but still....

ATL320B is out via backdoor.

It's pretty bloody. 33 trips left in open time from the 22nd - 31st. Almost every reserve line working through Christmas.

And my premise of the junior full lineholder (i.e. not forced by vacation) in our category being able to hold 88 captain continues to be true. Amazing!

80,
Looks like it did not get unstacked at all. Only 5 of 22 Trips that touch Christmas Day got awarded to lineholders completely throwing the reserves required numbers out of wack. On the Captain side it looks much more evenly distributed. Something just does not seem right to me...

However, we fly plenty on rsv since ATL has as many A320 departures as DTW...
