A: The pilots should use the ACARS (OUT-IN) times for logbook times (as they do today). If that is not available, the logbook time can be referenced in Rainmaker. Select the pairing number and the last column shown (ActDur) is the OUT-IN time for the flight.
I think the union is just echoing the Company info, I don't think either of them have an FAA interpretation to support that.
For what it's worth we DO have a direct answer from the company/union of which times they're using for tracking various items.
I still wouldn't log more than 8 or 9 flight hours in my logbook but I guess that's up to each of us.
