My question is what the contractual 6 refers to.
Is that 6 behind the door or 6 from block-in to block-out or what ?
I guess we'll find out Wednesday.
What If there was 6 hours between flights, but they only published 3 hours of "rest"? Like get in at 11pm, depart at 5am. The rotation shows 3 hours rest. So, you are notified of your rest that can't be below published (3 hours).
If everything goes right, you get 6. IROPS, you can go to 3 hours.
Look, I have done more split duty trips than I can count. WE DO NOT WANT THESE KIND OF TRIPS. They are terrible. We fly for the big boys. Naps are for other airlines, not DAL.
