Our contract conflicts the new FAR 117 rules.
Contract lets Pilots acknowledge trips as late as 3 hrs prior to report.
117 requires 10 hours minimum acknowledgement.
SD says he want all pilots to acknowledge within 2 or 3 hrs.
DALPA says comply with the contract. We got your back.
So the issue is when pilots acknowledge within 10 hours of report. They are complying with the contract but are not in compliance with the new 117 rules. If Pilots acknowledge within 10 hours the company drops the trip and puts a personal drop on the pilots schedule.
Not sure what percentage of Pilots are being paid for these PDs.
It sure would be nice for DALPA to put out some information in this regard to the Pilot group - after all they are telling us to comply with the contract.
