Urped another 4 days at AirTran

[glasspilot1]

Back to rationing gas and food to make ends meet.

Reminds me when I was a new hire "B" scale F/E eating my crew meal; the Capt. would say: "Son, don't go home with food on your breath!"

The problem is there are supposedly "invisible" rules about how URPing can be conducted. I imagine these are in the form of side letters or something that I have no access to. Hence my question above about URPing. I have heard there are rules about how many days in advance they have to do this, and so forth. I'm in the dark as to what they can do.

Let me help you out my brother:

URPING: Per an arbitrators ruling, a reserve pilot may have a reserve period or periods removed from his schedule, and his pay will be reduced by the value of the days removed. However, the reserve period must be removed no later than 48 hours prior to the start of the reserve period. Additionally, build up line holders assigned reserve periods may not have those periods removed, they may not be Urped.
