You can tie two months together if you are junior enough over the holidays and be on 19 with one day off.

**Attention all M88 F/O pilots:*
The reserve parameter settings for your categories have been expanded up to*eleven consecutive Maximum Days On.

That's how we used to do it at NWA. Bid 20+ days on call because the bucket didn't stop at 4 days. If you had 20 days in a row, you were in the 20 day bucket. Basically you would never get called for the first 2 weeks because you were always at the bottom of the list.

Yes I know you did DAL88, and I will again reiterate that I have no issue with reform, just not reform by removing ALPA. I have stated my reasons why.

You also know what I am for and against, being Pro-ALPA does not change that.

Understood, didn't think about that

I figured as long as SkyWest paid for a ticket it didn't matter, but I didn't know there was stipulations to it.

I was able to put in ATL DC9 in AE bids on Icrew and it accepted it. ATL 320 didn't work. Hmm.
