you bid vacation based on the position you will hold on 31 Jan. Once you convert to your new category you lose your remaining vacations and have to rebid them. If its a new category not a big deal as they have to put in weeks throughout the year to be bid. If its a existing category kind of sucks because you wont get anything good. You can however sometimes work a good deal out via the vacation moveup process if a guy with good vacations moves up or out of the category.

Storm Stories?
As I relax in the splendor of the Rockville Center Inn (I commuted in a day early due to the weather), I'm wondering if anybody got any good or bad deals from crews schedules as a result of the weather.
Any good stories?

I have a question for those Scope experts. If Compass gets into the charter market and takes delivery of a couple more 175's to do them but paints them in Delta colors does that violate the scope limits? What about if they use E195s? As ACL likes to say just connecting a few dots.

That is a good question. If they weren't wholly owned, I think they could just paint them in their own livery and do what they want with any size airplane in a charter department. I don't know how our scope protects charter operations, but if they got some 100-seaters doing charters Delta could move alot of the narrowbody charter business to CPS.
theve spent slot of money on the conversions in our airbuses and the teams really like them, I doubt they outsource the charter ops as it's profitable as is. plus the NFL/NBA/NHL etc teams aren't going to want to fly in an E-jet, they're nowhere close to as comfy as the buses and other planes we use.
