buying vacation days
Quick question, I want to buy a couple of days from my Bank to add to the vacations that we just bid for next year. I can figure out how to request them from the bank, but I cannot figure out where to go to tell the system where to put the days that I add.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated...

Most DALN 757 56xx and 58xx acft are still wired to the brakes. Out on releasing brakes the first time after door closes, in on the LAST time the brakes are set before the cabin door opens. If the brake is reset within 7 seconds of the next minute of the door opening it rolls to the next full minute. Sort of like cell phone charges. I believe 744's are still brake, not sure the Airbi. Have the ACARS log up and cycle the parking brakes (while holding them 
) and see.
Purely for academic and system knowledge reasons of course

I'm not sure of the details, but I read in the SLI award thread that it still has to be determined if they are a single carrier. If that is determined, I'm not sure how/if it will effect our scope.

If the multiple certificates are deemed to be of "Single Carrier" status, then yes, it may trigger some of our Section One Provisions. Currently they are one corporate entity with multiple carriers. They have been operating this way for some time. Think CQ, Shuttle America and Republic, now they just added MEH and Frontier. Of course it is all now called Frontier, instead of Republic Holdings, but the corporate structure has remained unaltered.

I remember when they first got the 170's and were operating them at Chautauqua they were violating American's scope and paying out something like $1M/month to the APA.
Anyone know the timeframe for determining their single carrier status?

Chucking REP out of the system does not agree with the "New World Order", where its really about what's good for ALL ALPA carriers, rather than any one carrier.
