I was part of an email chain. The numbers I heard were 22 UBU and UBP day on his PBS award for FEB. 2 scheduled days of flying for the whole month. At the end of the month he had flown 10 trips, 8 of which were SRM or PP. 5 of those trips were over his original UBU days. 4 days off.

At least one pilot was paid SRM man as he caught the local crew scheduling violating company/union rules and assigning trips out of order. My friend said there should have been more pay protections.

He originally thought 200-230 hours, but apparently it was over 240. He was pay protected for something. 8 SRM man trips in a month aren't enough. You also need to be pay protected?

I have never heard of anything even approaching this. I have heard 130 hours, maybe 145. Over 200?

One of our ALPA reps, hard at "work".
