In this week’s edition, Casey Casteel from SWAPA Communications discusses implementation of Reserve VDT in CWA and how the Reserve Preferences page has changed.  She gives a rundown of Reserve VDT provisions as well as some of the initial limitations with OTA and text bidding.

 Casey also reminds our listeners that the first round of 2026 Vacation Bidding is open and will close on 14 September.  Contract Admin Q&A topics for this week include what happens to a reserve assigned pairing if it becomes uncovered again, a request for a partial pairing Extra Fly, a pairing pull without pay for passport renewal, and a month to month overlap rig pay question.
