FEBRUARY AE AWARD AND THE NEXT AE
The January 2014 AE bid award was posted on February 4. The goal of the AE was to adjust staffing for the 2014 summer operation, with our primary focus on the 7ER First Officer position. The AE award resulted in 296 AEs, 25 reinstatements and no displacements. On the bid we posted 50 7ER First Officer openings and filled 36 leaving 14 unfilled. ATL had six 7ER-B unfilled positions and DTW had eight. Other unfilled positions included: ATL73NB (6), DTW73NB (2), NYC73NB (31), DTW320B (5), NYC320B (13), ATLM88B (22), NYCM88B (19) and ATL717B (8). These positions will be filled by new hires and posted on future bids.
IOW another 321 pilots moving up or into categories they'd rather be and zero being displaced.

I have been assured by a scheduling supervisor that I will be paid correctly because my "credit applicable to reg g/s slip pay" and "res assign-g/slip pay" are correct in my reserve month. And my REG month totals are correct also. The portion in both months that list each rotation has an issue in the "pay time" column that apparently will not factor in to my pay calculation.

BTW, I have know idea how to use the PAYBACK day to my advantage as a schedule holder. Thanks for all the help

Drop a one-day turn using your payback day...then WS it back and get paid double.

The best use of the payback day is pick up a 1 day trip and drop it with the payback day. Pickup or bid the highest time trip you can find.

I'm totally complaining. But 9 years...I would love to upgrade in 15 or 16 or 19 years. Just saying
This, but don't forget DOH isn't a good measure. A guy in the 9000s may have 15 years in, but the guy one number senior might have 13 years.

Junior MD Cap in NYC went down to 8200 something on this last bid, if I recall. 717 A is still relatively senior, even in DTW.

DAL88, I've been here (NWA/DAL) for 16.5 years and am no where near your seniority (~8100). If I wanted to commute to NY for the MD88, I could barely hold reserve. The SLI had a dramatic impact on my year group and won't get any better when the fences come down. But I can't do anything about that and just keep on keepin' on.

Is the fact that the RAT is out indicative of anything?
