NWA Jan. 14th class???

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.

No one would have been forced to ANC. The 3 that wanted it volunteered and got it. (Along with a month off, paid, due to backups in training)

Is the option supposed to continue? I am the most junior guy in my class that i know of so I hope that continues so i can avoid the commute to PANC. I guess i will see soon enough.

What's wrong with sittin' sideways and fetchin' coffee?

Oh there's nothing wrong with sitting sideways, i would enjoy the experience! Its the commute from IAH to ANC i am not looking forward to

Not sure if it will continue as an option or not. The crew planner did seem shocked (and happy) that 3 wanted to volunteer. Stated that she didn't want to force anyone up there, FWIW.
