The "Q" is a trip a pilot is trying to drop, but can't due to reserve coverage. It is available for pick up via white slip, but not a swap with the pot. If no one picks the trip up, the assigned pilot has to fly it.

I got called at 15:10 by crew skeds and informed of my short call tomorrow (actual person and not automated). I thought they didn't call to notify us on our last day off, maybe there has been a issue with N guys not notifying on the last day off???????

I'm glad the schedulers are putting the effort into calling rather than screwing the pilots with "well, you're supposed to check your schedule" and them losing money with a PD (personal drop).

Uniform button question...
How long can I expect to go before the buttons on my jacket wear completely out?
Leaving room: 4 buttons on, Getting into van: 4 buttons off,
Out of van: 4 buttons on, Entering security: 4 buttons off, Leaving security: 4 buttons on, Entering cockpit: 4 buttons off.
Repeat in reverse order at next layover.
Who's idea was this anyway??? They MUST be retired and laughing their a$$es off about now.

That blows me away that with 30 330s we only have 1 sim. Heck, we have two 777 sims for 16 a/c and they go all the time. Talk about boxing yourself into a corner. Perhaps if we get the mystery 10 330s being discussed an additional sim or an offsite approved sim will be part of the deal. Whatever prevents an exodus of WB flying from ATL I am all for.
Another 330 sim was in the works until BK, it looks like we will get the approval for the one thats in Manchester...then move to MSP. We have 32 330's

Yep, after I popped a few mid-rotation I take mine in and had the backside of the buttons reinforced. They put in a metal sorta thing on the inside of the jacket and some sort of fishing line stuff that can withstand the multi-buttoning and unbuttoning requirements. Works much mo betta.
My GF sewed the right set of brass buttons to a strip just on the inside of the holes (looks like they're buttoned). On the inside she just put a strip of velcro, with the other side on the other half of the coat.
You can do it up with one hand in 1 second and you absolutely cannot tell the difference between it and a normal coat.
It is full of win.
