Frank/Superpilot92,
Frank sat 3 days of LC not just in any winter (it can happen, I agree), but this winter. The winter of extra pilots. The winter of "maybe they will furlough" (have we forgotten already?). The winter of scrounging for WS. The winter of senior guys taking day-trips to complete their month.
I worked under the new system recently, and I stand by my assertion: you're usually either on SC, or flying. Some months you hit the max SC, some months you get close.
Of course, my experience was when we had 8 SC/month. Maybe this is a little better.
I don't have time to wrap up a thorough discussion on this (Christmas planning going on), so I'm left to wish you Happy Holidays.
Regards,
"Sink r8"

Just came across this and thought some might find it interesting in light of us losing, what was the estimate for 2009, something like $1.2 billion? Pay particular attention to number 10.

It's worth using for at least a couple bid cycles to get the hang of the logic. Another favorite feature is the ability to analyze the bids after they come out and see exactly what trips were available at your seniority level. It's useful for revising next month's bid.

iCrew help
I suppose I could spend a few days wading through reams of transition bulletins, but I thought it would be easier just to ask here:
1. Exactly how is short call coded on your schedule, and how do you know if it is AM or PM?
2. How do I "acknowledge" assignment to short call? Is simply looking at my schedule good enough or is there some magic checkbox buried in iCrew I need to select?
Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas to all!

It will show up in the second most right column as a time. It just shows the start time.
You can either ack it on i-crew or via the vru. Just make sure you do it via one of the just after 1500.

When you check your sked after 1500 base time (day prior)as required by the contract it will pop up like a trip assignment. Just but in your I-crew password and that shows you have accepted the assignment.
It will show up in the second most right column as a time. It just shows the start time.
You can either ack it on i-crew or via the vru. Just make sure you do it via one of the just after 1500.

Anyone been to DCA lately. Wondering if we have combined our operations into the new terminal yet?
