1. Archie League Awards -
Troy Harrison has sent out an email about this already, but just wanted to remind everyone that Mark, Matt, and Al will be receiving their Archie League awards tomorrow night. The award ceremony starts at 7pm. You can stream the event live at this address: http://www.natca.org/news.aspx?zone=Top%20News&nID=9312#n9312
2. 27 Day Rule (28, depending how you count it) -
I've had more than one of you mention this rule to me in the past few weeks, so I thought I would just send out a reminder one more time. Shift change requests will only be considered if they are within 27 days of the first day of that pay period. If you make a request prior to 27 days before the first day of the pay period, it may be considered invalid and skipped over. Now, I highlighted the word "may" because it seems like most supervisors don't enforce it. However, just know that they may decide to and your request would then go to the bottom.
Basically, if you count back four weeks from the start of a pay period, that is the first day you can make a request for that pay period. Here is an example:
Pay period 9 is coming up, beginning on Sunday, April 5th. All shift change requests for that entire pay period can be entered beginning Sunday March 8th at 12:00 AM.
3. Round Three Bidding....
This is trudging along... I take part/most of the blame because I haven't kept a close eye on this or pushed anybody to bid, but we're almost done! Let's try and grind the rest of that out.
4. Sentry Eagle -
Most of you may have heard this already, but Sentry Eagle is scheduled for this summer. So, be on the lookout for a lot of planes pointed at LMT.
That's all I have for now,
