Hi there C Area,
I started round 4 tonight. If you’re an 8 hour earner, you have 6 days you can bid this round (unless you’ve heard different from me).
I’ll start round 5 as soon as possible after 4 is over, and will update you as to how many slots will be left to bid based on your accumulated leave.
News about total time - there is a lot that goes into it from a planning perspective, but Eric & I met with some of the guys from the FAST team last week. We have named the list “JTIME” (for JAKSN time) and “RTIME” (for RADDY time). These will show you the total delay from those fixes and we will continue the trial period for another month, which should allow for us to meet again (it’s been hard to get everyone together) to discuss the altitude restriction on top of what we’ve been doing with the speeds. Expect to get a briefing about this soon.
I haven’t heard anything in the past few days about LWS, here’s hoping things have improved there and the LOA is being reviewed a bit more frequently.
I will be off work the 21-27th, but I will be available if you are in need of anything. Please understand, if I text you about bidding, it is a gentle reminder and I am trying my very best to keep the process moving as quickly as possible so we don’t lose out on any more slots in January. I hope you don’t take it as me being impatient or trying to bother you.
Thank you for your understanding and help with this process.
Have a great week, and reach out if you are in need of anything!
Take care,
Crumbley
