DC-9 training is IP-limited right now, but Dom just got permission to run his crew up to 21 events if needed.
The sims are holding-up (better than our's on the A320!), and he's got plenty of OE instructors at the back end.
The problem is that a lot of our vacation allocations were jammed into the 1st Qtr, so they've been bringing a lot of us into NATCO with vacation on our lines...something previously verboten!
The vacation credit makes us "inefficient" unless they run us into overtime (spelled: "$$$$").
Anytime they need us to be "flexible" we tend to gain leverage. Looks like a flexible time for us.
Any way you look at it, gotta love flexibility and leverage! Thanks for the info.
