I was supposed to be flying from GDL to LAX and back right now, but I got displaced for IOE training (the Capt does training with new students).
I changed my bid to fly with a check airman on the GDL trip. The downside was I would have to work the week between Xmas and New Years. The upside was I might get displaced for IOE.
A week ago, I get an email from the Capt saying he has a student but that crew scheduling won't call me until the day before the trip to tell me I'm displaced. Saturday, they finally call me (I wouldn't normally answer my phone but I knew it was good news) and tell me I don't have to go to work this week. Of course, I still get paid. Now I'm off until the day after Xmas (unless I get displaced again...hehe).
The downside is I'll forget which buttons to push on the 757 if I keep getting displaced and I was looking forward to going somewhere warm for work since the high today is going to in the 30's in Spokane.
The upside is I can keep drinking too much coffee and posting at jetcareers....whheeeeeeee

So are you still training in the 757? If so, how much longer do you have. Is the reason you're getting displaced because you need to fly with certain captains for IOE?
Sorry for all the questions.
