Carl,
Please, don't forget about Southwest Airlines. If they aren't hiring now, they will be soon. Movement will be quick, paychecks will be huge, and all layovers will be warm and tropical. That's just how they roll.

I could never figure why anyone WOULD bid a yellow slip flying offer. What angle am I missing? What (if any) advantage is there to anyone--other than DAL--for even volunteering for a Y/S trip?
Regards
Chuck

Usually it's because they see something good, someplace they want to layover and watch the Super Bowl, visit a friend, etc.
OR...they are worried something WORSE will pop up and they will get that instead. ie. if there's a sweet 2 day in the pot, and an UGLY 4 day, you put in the yellow for the 2day.

If you want to hit the ALV as a reserve it may the best way to do it. Once a reserve reaches the ALV & yanks the YS, they can no longer be flown for the remainder of the month.

There aren't many reasons, but I have been able to pick up a trip via yellow slip into my off days that got me to greater than ALV, which allowed me to take an extra week off. With manning where it is right now, chances of making that happen are slim to none. No YS's for me anytime soon.

A lot of guys do that to get Christmas, New Years Eve or Thanksgiving off. Fill up early and then stay home.

anyone commute out of BNA or CHA to atl? I'm thinking about choosing to commute since my base ain't here beyond April. I like Tennessee income tax, gun and homeschool laws. 10 flights a day on Delta in between ATL and BNA/CHA. tell me why I ought to pay Georgia income tax and put up with the traffic from Newnan. Have a great day.
