Default 5.5/3.5/1.5

Regarding jumpseat bookings, correct me if I'm wrong:

- Booking To work for a Friday, you would book Sat. @ noon? (5 days in between)

-Booking To Home for a Friday, you would book Mon. @ noon? (3 days in between)

Thanks.

I know it might be a foreign concept in terms of how "mergers" go, but wouldn't it be fitting to call us "all" PURPLE after Jan 1st?

PURPLE = The mixing of near equal amounts of red & blue. (The arbiters did refer to it as a "merger of equals".)

We all work for the same company, and here shortly will have the same call sign on all of our flights. Let's try a novel idea and compete against our external competition, instead of causing internal competition and resultant inefficiencies.
