From the contract:
20-K-4-c-(3) An in-Base Lineholder may pick up an available Trip at any time prior to
fifteen (15) hours before the report time of the Trip. An out-of-Base Lineholder or an I/E
may pick up an available Trip after 1300 on the day prior to the Trip’s report time and
prior to fifteen (15) hours before the report time of the Trip.
This would be another great thing to work on for the new CBA. Allow out of base pick up to occur some 3-4 days out in advanced vs the afternoon prior. Wouldn’t this benefit not only the pilot group but also the company? I think SWA guys are grabbing out of base trips 4 days prior.
