2) The PWA requires a schedule check not before 1500 on your last non fly day but NLT 0200 on your first fly day. Its a check. Acknowledgment is different than a schedule check. Here is what the PWA/SRH states:
So I
check my schedule at 1501 the day prior to my first on-call day. I see a trip with an early report that I don't like. I don't acknowledge it. I then log back in sometime within my 10 hours of rest (and prior to 3 hours from sign in) to
acknowledge it...and am no longer legal to fly it.
Is it really possible under the PWA to
check one's schedule without
acknowledging it? I gotta think it's tough to answer the mail on that when the CPO calls.
When I'm on reserve, I'll just keep on setting my alarm for 0155 to check my schedule, until the LOA is done. Gives the negotiators some leverage.
