OK, I guess I can live with that as I need to see how DalS guys do it. I had two CDG trips that I now see have been removed from my schedule (I'm pay guaranteed) while waiting for TOE. If I understand this correctly, I am off the schedule until that TOE is accomplished??? I so, cool. I get to see all The Masters but I still have to do the honey-do's. If not, can they assign me to domestic flying?

Just realize that your TOE can be scheduled at any time during your off days. If you are on a regular line and have had your trips removed, I'd say you were free and clear until they assign the TOE. Take that opinion for what it's worth!!

Just got the information about the new online jumpseat beta program. DAL-N guys are gonna be disappointed. You can't automatically book jumpseats using a computer like you could previously. The programmers put a "human being" verification process in there using pictures. This keeps a computer from being able to book the jumpseat. Personally, I'm glad they did this, but I think I might be the exception to the rule. It will be nice to have the online access, though!

Excuse my ignorance but on the old NWA system could you just put in your js request and let it sit in a queue? Was it by seniority?

I know a lot of the DFW commuters have not only themselves but their wives and in some cases children doing it. And still no luck.

It was first-come-first-serve via the computer up to 10 days prior. There was also a website that most guys subscribed to (ezopenboard.com) that allowed you to list/cancel/check avail from your computer/iPhone which was great.

There were also some guys that used a program that would autobook their jumpseat exactly 10 days prior so they didn't have to be on the computer right then. I never messed with this but it apparently was a big deal for some of the FL commuters.

THIS is the kind of info that people keep coming back to APC for Keep the good news, even if it's just speculative dot-connecting, coming!
It is what all of the guys over there seem to be stating. They want to staff so that GS rule the day but complete the schedule. That said we are getting to the point where we will still need to hire.

Gem em apps in. You probably want them in a few months before they start calling.

Yep, and I am betting this is through dbms so no families can do it since they are not allowed access by corporate policy.

Looks like the MEC changed its mission statement. Nice!
