A shadow bidder is someone who is leaving the equipment or one that is coming that will not be qualified on the jet for the bid period. The (s) is to note that it is a shadow award so that the LOT is filled up to rev guarantee or block ALV.

Sorry, had the spelling wrong on the cell phone...I think Graham is also one of the hang ups.

It's Baden, not Badden. Grapevine on my end says you should be writing to Dickson, Greg Baden already supports the DAL-N Call in Honest Policy. Dickson appears to be the one with cold feet.
My guess is it will take this xmas season and about a year after the next AE before they throw in the towel and give us the DAL-N policy. It will take that many cancelled flights over xmas and that many NEW commuters calling in sick from the DAL-S side before Dickson (and higher) will listen.
My $0.02, hope I am wrong about Dickson.

Spent my entire layover in San Fran in bed puking and duking because of the chicken meal. Almost called in sick from there but realized I might not ever get home so I gutted it out...
Just took a look at the NY ER B schedule and man there are some heinous lines. Fly an all nighter back from the west coast and turn that night to an international trip. Is that legal? It sure ain't safe.

Just a thought.....
SD mentioned that they were going to add 320 positions to SLC without subtracting positions from MSP. That means that there will be more positions than there are now. Well did he admit something with out admitting it......
If we are not increasing total positions company wide, we would need to cut positions from somewhere else. Me thinks that this was them admitting they were adding more positions than pilots. (Well hoping)

Although I'd go to MSP or SLC too. I just want to get back to the 320.

Its directly proportionate to their age. The older cat farmers take the crap home, the younger ones (and I use that term relative to the fact that we have some in their 70s) take it and eat it enroute. As far as I'm concerned, they can have it. The steak isn't bad, the chicken's okay, the mushroom pasta will make you retch. If I was a million miler I'd be screaming at the top of my lungs.

I'd just like to say that the S2B thing for a family member over the holidays is nice. But I also like Republic Airways contract, 4 hours for flying on a holiday tacked on to whatever you make on the month.
