Time Assignable. It is a way of getting your hours up to Cap on a Blind Line and making you available for fairly short notice work should you be needed. Don't worry- it's good.

Its all in your bidline rules, but in short you are contactable between defined hours the day before to work the next day. If you have two days TASS together you can be collared for a three day trip which starts on day 1 of the TASS but the last day will be overtime.
What about "TS BEGIN 0430 END 1630"?
You're a funny chap, Gazeem. What you up to at the moment?
And the TS refers to our rosters not the wx! Smart ar5e!

So does anyone know what TS on the roster means?

This is very worrying thread. If you have to make a post to read your roster, how are you going to manage when the skipper passes you the MEL and asks for your take on a matter of servicability.

If you log on to the BALPA website http://www.balpa.org and post this question on the Scheduling forum one of the experts will give you an answer.

Thanks, Timsan, you've been a big help. What exactly is the correlation between deciphering the company's specific codes on a roster and offering a sensible opinion on a serviceability issue? Incidentally, as a former aircraft engineer I think I'm probably far more qualified than many around here to offer such opinions. Fortunately, from your profile, it doesn't look like we'll be running into each other in the near future because you're clearly full of it!
I hadn't but there is never an excuse for being rude for the sake of it. What about there being no such thing as a dumb question?

Ham Fisted...I'm with you 100%...there are no dumb questions in aviation. Or perhaps there are. Someone could start a new thread on it? However,as the above posters mentioned, it is worth getting your head into Bidline rules when you can. Otherwise, the company WILL take advantage of you.
