When I look at the daily trip coverage, how do I know which trips were covered by calling a non-vol reserve? I think I figured out what G, WS and YS means but what is the code for getting called off of reserve? Another question, what does the magenta mean on the wide report? Thanks.
The very short answer on the magenta trips is, it's a 'coverage' trip. In other words, PBS was 'unstacking' and handing out what's left sort of from the bottom of the category on up from there. Again, that's a watered down explanation.

How is it that every month I move up 20-30 numbers and see posters of 330/7ER Retirees plastered all over the lounges and then an AE comes out with nothing but 717 and 88 openings??? Are 717 FOs secretly retiring across the board? What am I missing? (Sarcasm intended)

Negative. PW is a PCS (i.e., automated) White Slip award (as opposed to W, a same/next-day WS award handled by CS).
Trip trades don't show up in Daily Coverage, since they don't really pass through Open Time. If you look at a specific rotation history, trades are indicated by PSB ("Pilot Swap Board," I assume?)....

The 71Bs were never hired.

If I had to guess, the company is trying to get the Intl categories lean prior to the 747 boys getting flushed down. Imo, the lack of widebody jobs here at Delta should only encourage us a pilot group to not only exceed the rates of the UPS TA, but also to strongly consider pay banding.

You're not the only one. I'd say that at least half of the retirement announcements that I see are heavy captains (747, 777, 767-400, A-330) and as you mentioned, the AE's don't seem like they reflect those retirements.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is there really a need for an AE to list captain spots being vacated by retiring pilots? The vacated slots will still be filled during the AE award process (unless they shrink a category and don't backfill). You'd only need A slots if you're growing a category. There's no need for the company to award WB A slots to new hires, so there's no need to list on an AE. What am I missing?
Perhaps many of us don't fully understand the AE process.
