Oh ok, thank you. Different airline transitioning into the 737. Just trying to see how to avoid being a HUD cripple if this thing is gonna be used every takeoff and landing. I wanna fly the plane, not fly a plane symbol into a ball. I guess it’s a fine art of “looking through” the glass and just going by regular visual cues, and using peripheral vision to keep an eye on the tailstrike indicator coming into view.

Just turn the brightness down, but yes, your brain will eventually get used to ‘seeing through it’ if that’s what you want to do.

Move RSV Days question
Question for scheduling gurus:
Currently have a RSV line for OCT. Days OFF 1-15. On RSV 16-31. (Single block of 16 days.) Trying to move four OFF days from 05-08 and put them on 16-19. Computer saying this violates OFF day grouping requirements.
I can't see where this is not a compliant trade. Results would be only two blocks of RSV and it does not cause a 30/168 violation that did not exist prior to the trade. RSV grouping in my category were 3-99-5 for the OCT bid period. Anyone can explain what I'm missing?

I think you are correct. A way to solve this is to PD a day in the middle (you lose the pay) and then you have two blocks of days off. Sucks to lose the pay but if you really need the time off, it's a way to do it.

You can cover pay loss by using vacation time (not vacation days) by having scheduling apply the code VACB to the PD day. It's not for everyone but it's an option.

If you PD a reserve day can you pick up another reserve day?

Interesting aside to that movie. Originally the car they took downtown was a Miata. John Hughes subsequently found a used Ferrari GT.
