The seat is OK, but you get lots of galley noise during service. The bunk on the -300 is better than the seat as long as the FAs are quiet when they enter/exit. The bunk on the -200 is the best since it has better separation from the FAs. A good noise cancelling headset does wonders for the background airplane noise.

Thought the 330 had a bunk room just behind the cockpit?

Uh Oh........Wasn't there a grievance about that? Oh, we lost that one and the bunk behind the cockpit went the way of the dinosaur. Replaced by what is described in a previous post.

Curious now... Why was it grieved or moved? Seemed like a good location unless the lav was a problem.

The company wanted to cram more seats into the cabin and needed to move the galley wall over to where the crew rest was, right behind the cockpit.

Quick reserve question. If you hit the reserve ALV are you automatically released for the month? If so, do you have to call scheduling to put a designation on your line or do they just stop calling you?

Thanks

What Timbo said.

If you are at or over the reserve guarantee for the month an don't want to fly, I'd call up CS and and tell them. They do not automatically count those as off days. I would not GS over them unless all you want is single pay without the "day off" becoming a payback day. (You are technically still on reserve, they just cannot use you)

Once you hit reserve guarantee (not all ALVs equal reserve guarantees) you are no longer required to be on LC or SC for the rest of the month. You'll see FULL somewhere on your schedule. They will stop calling you..nothing needs to be done on your part.

You can still pick up time up to ALV + 15.

Default Standby ticket help!

Hey guys, I'm looking for a little help.... I have purchased full fare tickets as part of a travel package that has my family leaving Cancun at 7:30 tonight. There are flights leaving earlier with open seats that we would rather be on.... Anyone see a way around paying the standby ticket fee?? Nonrev charge would run me $270.00... Any help???? Thx!
