That is the seniority number of the most junior person that got an award on this AE. Not the most junior pilot in category.

Craptastic! Yeah, I figured that out. Also realized I'm 300 numbers JUNIOR to that. I left ATL ER because I kept moving backwards. Figured I'd finally be able to have some forward movement. Nice to know that an 11 year, 4 category, 3 base streak of moving backwards has not been broken

But Ferd,

You wouldn't be able to enjoy that barstool in Saipan anymore if you went to the whale. You could, however, enjoy the hot spots of Manila, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Haneda, and Tel Aviv.

Jinks (really junior to you)

Upon further review, 8 on top, 3 left, for a net of 5 numbers down. Three came in under. This slot swap thing better happen fast.

Oh, thanks for asking T. His cast hopefully comes off today. Thanks to the 73 OE planner I can be here. KM, thanks very much!

Speaking of the slot swap what is the over/under time frame for a decision?

If you have a trip that crosses months, hard pay (block hrs flown) is split between months, but I believe all credit (could be just trip credit) gets tacked on the last day of the trip - ie the new month.

Well if a leg cancels in the first month, the credit will be applied at the end of the trip - in the next month. It makes sense that the company will not know trip credit until the end of the trip.

No worries - unless your credit bump now prevents you from getting that Sweet 2 day WS because you are over the max pick-up.



Scoop
I learned this lesson in Dec. Got a regular line in Dec but back to reserve for Jan with no chance of breaking 70. Picked up a 4 day that started on the 30th of Dec and had 2 hours of hard time in Dec and all credit in Jan. Just glad I was able to get rid of it! Would have been an absolute waste of my time.

This AE is hard to figure. I know one of the DC9 captains that's going to the whale. He said he was tired of the hassle. But, he would have come within 20 of holding DTW330A and he easily would have held NYC765A. I wish I could just borrow some peoples seniority sometimes.


Looks like I'm going to the frozen tundra!
