Exactly!

But more to the point, think of how much easier everything would be to harmonize.

Flt Time Barbie's question about Buzzpat's delay, kind of demonstrates the whole problem: "who got charged with the delay?"

Who cares? It was avoidable.

Guys, regarding drops and swaps:

Can I drop a trip June 2-5 and pick up a trip 30 May- 2 June in the same PCS run? In other words will it process my drop first and then my PU? If it does not work in this order the trips will conflict.

This is one of the SOT improvements - swaps through months but does not kick in until later in the year.

Thanks Scoop

ACS should be separate but report to Gor*** and Perf Eng under flight ops, IFS should be separate under a customer service division.

Any trip that you pickup in May will automatically drop any conflicting trips in June. So just white slip that trip you want in May.

ACS got tagged for the delay and the chief ramper guy for payroll deduct I believe. A bunch of mx and corporate security guys showed up to discuss it with him.

Interesting side note about the BBC.
The other day I started watching them and was amazed at the coverage they gave to the violence on the Mexican border. I haven't seen any other news organization (including Fox) go into such detail. So from point of view, they all suck. Much like our elected officials. Some just suck less than others.

I try to watch different news outlets; BBC when over-seas. I want to avoid getting 'brainwashed' or 'absorbed by the Borg.' When the volume goes up and the ranting starts, I flip the channel.

We all should use our 'inside voice.' I will.

Excluding the passenger cabin, if you can damage the airplane you should be under flightops.

Anybody know of an iPhone/iPad app that resembles the navigation maps available in the stop over store? IE the plastic fold ones with VOR's, cities...

Yes you can PD a carryover trip once the reserves required for the next month are known. Yes, PD's are done before whiteslips in the same run. Just be aware that you could get the personal drop and not get the whiteslip if someone senior to you decides to put in for it.

Are you sure about this? If so it's good to know! One could probably try adding the trip in the rules auditor and see what that says. I imagine that would give one a good idea if the trip will be awarded.
