Looks like a rotation history option has been added to iCrew under Open Time. Enter the rotation number and date under "Optional Selections," and then click on "Pilot History."

Very useful feature! Transparency is good.

I think there needs to be an avatar bet between Satchip and 80.


I've got 22 days left to get rid of mine.

We gotta hunt some ducks first to get to Saban!

Default 5 Day Trips

Guys,

Look for 5 day trips coming to most domestic categories starting in February. Supposedly a small percentage of trips, maybe 10%.

Although I don't intend to bid 5 day trips, in general the more variety the better. Most commuters who can hold them would easily be able to fly three trips now and break 75 Hours.

Scoop, thanks for the scoop.

Any guess on which categories will be spared from this insanity?

I don't think it will come to that. O beats F and A beats O and then A beats O again. I do think the selection committee got it right.

Not sure. I think the plan is to align the legacy south domestic categories with the legacy north domestic categories.

Well, after 117 most of the 5-days suck. The very few that are commutable do go senior, but the rest go to the bottom lineholders or reserves that want nothing to do with them.

Should be required to make them commutable if they are going to build them. Nothing like a 5 day with an 0730 report day one and a release at 1930 on day 5.

Let's say it credited 35 hours or a bit more, would it then be worth it though?

I think it's the ADG, actually. The company needs you to average 5:15/day to avoid credit time. If you give them one comfy leg on your first and last day, and you're only on a 3-day... something has to give. The shorter the trip, the less opportunity to offset a commutable start and/or finish.

It seems to me that a 5-day has a better chance of being commutable than a 4-day.
