How many days of availability did you have? Not sure about the two 3-days, but I tossed in a yellow slip to get the 4-day trip that was in open time. If I hadn't done that, I doubt I would've gotten any of the trips. But that 4 day covered my next reserve stretch, was commuteable, and had 24 hrs in PVR, so I couldn't pass it up.
If you still have a copy of the MEC Scheduling Alert 09-05 that was put out in early December, it has a really good explanation and example starting on page 5 of how trips are assigned to reserves.

I had 5 days available starting today, so the 4 day would fit right in my schedule. One of the 3 days started off with a 20+ hr layover in PR so I'm sure someone snagged that too. Enjoy PVR.

Give me your aircraft and category and I will take a look. What could have happened however is that with all the weather rotations were canceled and the open time was covered with recovery pilots. The trips could also have been white slipped. You can go to open time and then display daily trip coverage. It will show trips covered for today and tomorrow with a reason code. If you hit PF5 it will give you a listing of the codes since some of them are not intuitive.

I had a red out from the pain, and was going to go down the hill again until the knee buckled. End of my day and season. Off to the lodge for me, foot up, and liquid medication was in had. No one beleive it, but the next day the doc gave the me news.
What fun. Add to it, staff infection and a doc that kept telling me it was bone pain. Finally drove myself to the ER where I got another seven day stay in the hospital.
Yep, I lay off the skiing for the rest of my life.

We have a lot of that at DAL-N. It's pretty pathetic actually. I've been here a short 2 years and I'm already tired of it. Some guys just aren't happy unless they're miserable.
PS-Any help with the contract is greatly appreciated. There were 3 trips in open time for tomorrow and I had the 2nd lowest RAW score so I was certain I'd get called. Now the trips are gone and nothing on my schedule! I've got some serious learning to do.

BTW, I love reserve. Lean it, work it, and it can be a good life. You just need to accept that you are there to clean up the messes that an operation this big has. Know that and accept the unknown and it can be a lot of fun.

How did those trips match up to days of avilability? If you have 10 days of availability, and those trips were each 3 days... even if you have THE lowest raw score, if there are 3 dudes that have 3 DOA, they will get them. Remember that thing about seniority not having anything to do with reserve? This is yet another example. Snd me a PM if you have more questions..

Ooh, that sounds painful.

Was it a staff infection or staph infection?
Either way, I'd rather have the rod... those infections can kill you... yuck.
