The Frenchman is correct, AMS-LHR, as a relative forum veteran I tend to read an entire thread before posting... so as not to make an a*** of myself 
As you are a newcomer, I notice you are a relatively prolific poster, have a look at post 11 on page 1...

Rach-G,
I'm not offended but thanks for your concern. It does work on a fairshare principal. However carmen does not allocate trips at random.
I am quite happy to agree to disagree on this one.

Superboy and Rach G
Hi there!
I understand you have got a difference of opinions about the way Carmen works, NOT regarding the annual leave but on the fact that it doesn't work on seniority when it comes to bidding trips etc.
Could any expert let us know how it work?
Thanks

Noooooo AMS - You must keep posting as I find it all quite fascinating!!
It's been most entertaining to read your posts from before you started, right through your course until now where you're nearly online.
And, always remember, it would have taken less time to simply answer the question, than it obviously did to provide you with a mini lecture on blog etiquette.
Happy postings and (soon) happy landings!!

This isn't a blog - therefore it wasn't "a mini lecture on blog etiquette". A suggestion was made that AMS-LHR (and many others) just slow up a little to check back and think before posting. This is excellent advice from TheFlyingFrenchman, for everybody, and I can say with absolute certainty, that it will be almost completely ignored.

How fantastic!!!
Is that what happens then? You phone and listen to a computer voice giving you your roster????
AMS - you must let us know after you've phoned in what it was like!!!
Much better than the pencil written rosters I used to have years ago!!
Can't wait to start in November now - it's almost worth joining just to listen to the computerised roster!! Perhaps I could phone and listen to it again when I'm bored and lonely on a nightstop!!!

Shorthaul rosters
Hey AMS
Don't wait up too late....
I'm pretty sure from (my buddies on EFLHR) that shorthaul rosters are published tomorrow night.
Hope it's a good one for you!

Sorry, AMS, I thought you were at LGW (my fault for not reading all your posts).
It would be pretty mean to give you the Moscow for your supernumery. Mine was to DUS followed by a FCO standover. What are the odds. I don't think they even do standovers anymore (I could be wrong though). Have fun on EF. It's a great fleet and it's nice to be able to control your life.

LHR
LHR Rosters come out 10 days before the end of the month ( so either the 30th or the 31st) Unfortunatly everyone on my courses first flights were to Moscow, Istanbul, and Athens,there and back! But theyre ok, plenty of time to look around. It was great! Good luck AMS for your frst flight.
