I think I've got plans on my next long airport sit:

You forgot the 1 after the 6. I corrected other parts for you.

The new ACARS software, block out is not just the cabin door. It's both cargo doors closed, the front door, and then brake release.

Pay us at sign in and stop paying 30 min after last block in of the day. Clock doesn't stop, 5+15 minimum a day. I'd do that at current rates. This would force the trip builders to construct highly productive trips.

That's my contract proposal...

Question for the AE experts. If one bids %'s on their current aircraft in hopes of continuing to hold a line, followed by a new category with no restrictions(i.e. ATL 320B @ 75%, MSP 7Er) and then fills out a VD for a new category is it possible to hold that percentage but still be awarded the VD?

In short, if you can hold the lowest % you are requesting on your AE card for your current aircraft, will you hose yourself out of a possible line by submitting a VD? Or will the company say "Ok, so and so wants XX% and will hold that on the conversion date therefore we won't even look at his/her VD/MD cards".....???

Thanks in advance, and hope this makes sense.

Quick non-rev question.....

For an international flight, will revenue stby passengers designated HK on the airport standby list be bumped for a business class seat in lieu of an S4 on standby. I was under the impression that the policy is to leave the business class seat empty and the HK will get rebooked on the next flight if they don't want to pay to upgrade or have a ticket that even allows them to upgrade by paying or using skymiles. Clear as mud?

Thanks!

Is it common to have gs stay open on your timecard for a while? Trips since then are showing already closed. ?????

Any guesses how senior those 49 330 A slots will go in ATL? I'm wondering because the senior-most 330 instructor is #1207 on the seniority list. I personally think there is more than a slight chance that the entire 330 instructor cadre could be displaced off the airplane on this bid. Interesting times.

Pretty sure they won't make it below 5000.

I think it used to be that way but I heard they changed that last year. I'm curious too, does anyone else know? I was under the impression that if coach is over-booked they will upgrade the highest level FF (platinum or gold or whatever it is) and then put the revenue standby in coach.
