Talked to a couple reps last month about this. Expect more long layovers and credit time as they work to figure out new rules. The issue is not the current trip construction as our PWA is more in line than note with 117. The big issue is IROPs and the flexibility to handle them. No more legal to start legal to finish is going to cause the most issues during IROPs. Expect reroutes and Inverse assignments to be used to manage the schedule for the next few months.
The 88/90 fleet was singled out as the fleet with the most issues.

Doing it now ... thanks ... been trying to figure out how to grab more of the syncopated Irish fiddle type stuff that I can never quite nail down as a genre of music. We're doing a bunch of it as part of a Christmas presentation and the timing is kicking us around pretty good. Couple of these tunes are like taking a type ride on the E120.

Not true. Trips/legs can be assigned via Reroute before they even enter Open time. Once a trip is in open time, then it has to follow the 23N assignment ladder. Do you really think ever time you got rerouted there was the opportunity for a GS for someone?

Then I guess I will expect more of the same. Rerouted until I am sick. I literally got pneumonia in July. I blame it on the reroutes with extended days and unpredictable rest.

I think Mairead Nesbitt from Celtic Women is better and prettier.

Translation: we waited too long to hire now all of you (and our customers) will pay the price with work day disruption, lost days off, and unproductive trips. Combine that with poor contract language regarding lost days off and you have a perfect way to "fix the glitch."
Meaning more pay for everyone ... I figure Douglas "issues" result in about 10% of the pay in the other narrow body categories as everyone else enjoys white and green slips to cover ... Nothing better than a HSV or BHM short overnight that pays you between 10:30 and 21:00
