Default JAX meet and greet ideas...

Okay, there are a few of us here now. What days work best for everybody and where would people want to meet up. My schedule is always in the air, so we'll see what people have and go from there.

Five-O, when you going to be up here?

For this month, tuesdays are best for us. A-dub got a low seniority schedule this month and is only home 1 night a week. I have no idea what sept might hold.

Ouch, that sucks...I won't tell you how my schedule has been then. Okay, so Tuesdays, any particular one? Anybody have a problem with Tuesdays?

Did I mention that he's commuting in for that one night from ONT? He might have 2 nights the last week of the month though

I think Five-O is coming up for the 2nd half of the month...

Hey guys. Thanks for remembering me. It is looking like I will be up there the 17ish. It is hard for me to say for sure but the 17th or 18th looks pretty promising. I will def let you guys know if anything changes. For some reason if this one does not work out, I have A LOT of planned trips to JAX coming up. Thanks again.

I didn't say how many days off he had, just how often he was here. I think he got 9 days off this month. I only got 8 so he's ahead of the game in my book...

I kinda read into your numbers...1 day a week, with a couple days a week towards the end and ballparked it. Still sucks to only have 9 days at home (well, off anyways). Of course, I've been there, and will probably be there again.

Nah... he get's at LEAST 11 days off on bid months of 30 days... and 12 days off a month on bid months of 31 days.

Now... how often he's back home from one coast to the other... well... I guess we're seeing that.

K... he needs to start working the system. Does he know that if he's not used by 6pm on his last day of reserve... then he's done... even if his call time goes way past that? Does he know that he can start calling scheduling around noon and request to be released early? I was always on the 2pm flight out of EWR back to DFW on my last day of reserve... regardless of when my call times officially ended. That can help get him home for another whole day per week...

Food for thought...

Bob

Oh, did I somehow give the impression that I WANTED him home more than he is?

Crew scheduling built his line this month b/c he got out there after bidding. 5 days on/2 days off. We are aware of and have used the early release requests. It's still a 2 leg flight to get home.

OK, enough about me, let's get back to this get together thing.

What's best? The 21st or the 28th? And who else is in?

I would love to fly up from Tampa and meet you guys, but I teach a class on Tuesdays. Maybe I'll make the next one!
