I am a REG this month and RES next month. I'm aware of the pay issues-- just wondering if its legal.

Thanks!

If you get the trip, you can move a reserve day over the day that carries in. There are many nuances when bidding from Line to Res or Res to Line. Some can be beneficial, sometimes you work a day for "free".

I think today is a non-work day for Mecca.

I'm sure DALPA has to review the results before they are published also. And you know it's a DALPA holiday.

Still no results. I smell a rat. Let me guess... instead of 5 744-A vacancies they're going to displace everyone off of the whale after everyone has submitted their bid. Just like last time the results were delayed for over a week when there were a bunch of 744-B vacancies.

There is something quite off about this AE. My hunch is that the approval for whatever is taking place had to go above Flight OPS. More like CFO or even CEO seeing how no one wants to make a decision anymore.

Yeah, for sure. Or maybe getting rescinded before the award.

I'm sure they've run multiple scenarios with different levels of back-filling and still haven't gotten results they like. They probably presented two or three scenarios and asked the execs to pick one.

Definitely with computers these days I bet they have all sorts of scenarios. We are definitely waiting for top-level decisions now.
