It would work something like this, "Hey do you know a guy named Alan Cline? I think he went by his middle name - Percy? There it is APC.

Obviously we would have to come up with a weird name to minimize false positives. The beauty of this technique is that you remain covert if the recipient is not an APC L&G poster. He will be none the wiser and will say something like "Don't know the guy."

So there it is, a simple way to covertly introduce yourself to all other APC L&G posters without sounding like a geek.

Now - who wants to start the process of picking a name?

OBTW - The name can really be anything I just thought the initial of APC could be helpful, we could always use something like Larry Gold for L&G.

Capt. Anduze, miss you brother.

As this is a hard non-fly day, you would have the right to call Crew Scheduling to let them know of the conflict, and they would be required to make "every reasonable effort" to resolve the conflict.

IOW, if there is any way around the reroute, they will undo it. If not, they will take the PD off your line, restoring your guarantee, and the reroute will pay as though the PD was never there. (I found that last piece out the hard way!!)
