I'm stuck in AMS now (I know, woe is me), with a 48 hour layover that's become a 98 hour layover. My original trip was due back before the end of the month, but the reroute is a transition trip.
My original monthly projection was 67 hours. Now, since the new trip pays mostly next month, my projection is 56 hours. I haven't modified my line from what I was initially awarded. Does the line guarantee of 65 hours apply here? The way I read it, the answer seems to be yes, but a second opinion is always nice...
Thanks. (I don't want to make a call to ALPA; they've got more important things to do right now.)
Most of the advise in the follow on posts given to you is wrong. What you need to do is call crew scheduling and have them credit back the amount you lost for Oct from Nov. You can spill back up to the amount that was originally on your line for Oct.
