Hell, I loaded Excel on my IPAD & also laptop. Enabled editing, saw the 2nd file/page, yet still unable to enter my employee number. Says it’s locked or some gibberish.

I’ll give it a go again, later on my other laptop maybe MS Excel on Apple doesn’t do it.

Yeah it doesn’t work properly on an iPad.

Thanks for the help & tips, will report back once able to access it.

It’s been a month since the last one was published and the vacancy just came out, so I would expect and updated one soon.

Can someone explain how to send RF messages, where to find a list of RF messages, and in particular, how to request a hotel via RF, or at least how to request a commuter hotel besides Quicktrade?

I've exhausted resources I can think of, i.e., company website, ALPA guide, etc. I've only found some DECS codes.

Thanks!

DanRoman

Check this out. There’s also a handbook that can be purchased, but not sure where exactly.

Here ya go. Copy and paste this into your notes page on your phone/iPad for quick reference. To send an RF on the iPad, make sure you have cleared the screen. Then type the RF to pull it up. Then hit HOME, RESET, RESET, then TAB through and field. Once you have filled it out, TAB so your cursor is to the right of the SEND then hit enter.

Search back through the thread. There have been several explanations. DECS is archaic and very syntax picky. You have to clear the screen before starting with the RF code and the tab through. Easiest to have someone show you the first time if you haven’t used DECS a lot.

Or spend the $5 a month on quick trade. I balked at first as well, but it is a worthwhile investment. First two months are free. You will save $5 a month in aggravation just proffering and stand a better chance of finding trips while on reserve, picking up OT and later when you have a line, trading.

highfarfast

If you're not using quicktrade, you're leaving money on the table (and, no, I'm not affiliated).

That said, there are limits to quicktrade. You need to know how to use both mobilecci and fos. The post above with all the commands is a good starting place for fos. Feel I should add that when sending an RF message, after you hit enter, make sure you see the "DONE" message that should follow. If you don't, something didn't go right.
