What comes after pilot?
"holding a line of time"
On top of the inconvenience of being subject to last turn cancellation requirements on reserve and so on. 11.E is for lineholders, and it's a damn good thing.
Pilot is defined in section 2. As are a bunch of other terms often ignored in the contract.
What comes before "lines of time" in 11.B.1? (hint: reserve) Yes, Virginia, there is a reserve line of time.
We can play this game all day long. The fact is that the union, and some shortsighted selfish people like yourself, think that these company friendly interpretations are "a damn good thing". They have been failing their fellow pilots under the CBA. It remains a poorly worded management friendly bankruptcy era document in desperate need of change. Unfortunately, that is unlikely to happen as people in position to push for those changes think "it's a damn good thing" to save the company a few bucks by denying a hotel room for a fellow pilot.
