That lasted as long as the FA's having the earlier report time...now that we all are reporting 45 minutes before departure... we are all back to the same crap locations.

Anyone else notice they don't have hardly any open-time available? Wasn't the new rules supposed to have a certain percent available? I noticed all previous months there was a ton, now that they offer 150%, hardly any available.. Maybe overall less flying for January?

They did, but a lot of it got picked up.

it was supposed to be 3% now instead of 1% after line construction.... sure didn't look like that, then I'm guessing there were build up lines that took up most of that... Now there are 1 open trips for January in DTW 900 CA list (a less than min day turn to PIT. who is going to pick that up for 2.2 hours pay?).

Hint: It's not. Sometimes we layover with them, sometimes we don't. They do completely different trips as they can swap around between aircraft types and have different work rules.

There was a group of pilots wives pushing for that back in the late 90s but it never really took.

Thanks for the info. I assumed this WAS Delta policy, and further I had heard the pilot wives were the driving force behind this. I guess that part is true, though they apparently didn't actually succeed.

There were a lot of trips on open time when the lines were first published. I checked back 48 hours later and the greater majority of them were already picked up.

Yep, and that was also almost 20 years ago now! It's extremely common domestically to not see us laying over together as the FA trips and pilot trips are built quite differently.
