7th short call? You mean 7 days a month beer free? That should help the blazer fit better!

It has a 33 hour layover instead of 9. So you get to spend 33 hours at the airport hotel in CCS for a three day trip that now pays 13.30.

LAX has been flying these for years. 3 day starting w a redeye to Guate or Costa Rica, sit for 24+ and fly back day 3. Guate pays 10:30 and CR just a little more.

Baja.

I think NB stay at 12 hrs. WB goes to 14 hrs. I hope I'm right.

That was the first I'd heard of that. I thought domestic SC stayed at 12 hours.

So maybe all of the rumors of NRT going away in leui of SEA are false. I thought they wouldn't pull out completely, those 5th freedom rights aren't something you can just apply for. I haven't heard any update on getting back to HND though, I know RA mentioned trying to do that...

Reserves are also only subject to a 7th short call in months where the reserve guarantee is at or above 75 hours.

Still don't know why the company wanted this provision, nor why we gave it, but it is not as onerous as some people think, and will probably occur as frequently as "every reserve flying to 99 hours."

Riiiigght. Just like ALV + 15 was only going to affect international categories.
Hint: ALV + 15 was a giveaway, plain and simple, and so was granting 7 short calls shortly after negotiating for 6 in the merger! ALV + 15 sucks, even for reserves who are flying less than 99 hours.
