Please stop the crazy.
There are only a few designated pilots who are paid the average +5 hours (which additionally does not come out of our dues) because they work more days per month than average pilots and are UNABLE to pick up any premium flying even if they wanted.
I'd be appreciated if APC DAL posters would refrain from inventing/repeating inaccuracies.
Oh, ok, only 87 hours.
Yeah, I was WAYYY off...
My point was, why is there no ALV+15 limit with swaps?
And, can you get more time using swap with the pot, or pick up trips off the pilot to pilot board if you are at the quarterly block hour limit? If the quarterly block hour limit will prevent it, that's a good thing and over time it should even out.
With our new 62hr. trips, most of which are in open time after the PBS run, there are a lot of guys swapping to get 124hr. lines now. Will they hit the quarterly block hour limit if they do that two months in a row? (248hrs.)
What type of a line can PBS build them if they are at 248 going into the third month of the quarter? Or can they just bid reserve and they take the month off?
