A6 window, tomorrow is a soft day off. Called to report for an evening DH to ferry a plane back to CVG. Scheduled to arrive at 1240am.

I understand if it's scheduled to end before midnight, and goes up to 2am due to irreg ops that it still is considered same day. However, this would be an contract violation if accepted as scheduled. Now, if at the time of being notified they flat out said they were jr manning me into the soft day, it would be ok. Correct?

I politely pointed this out without using the "jr man" words and she came back after checking and said yes and was taking it off my line. I know it sounds all good....but I just wanted reassurance. I know the duty limits go up to scheduled 13:30, but it would only be 12 if the next day is a day off and they weren't using jr man......???????

Sorry if that was all over the place....thoughts are just coming to me....

What do some guys do? I've pointed out 3 illegal trips since I've been here, even though I wanted to fly, because I know if we don't, it could lead to more. Do you point them out or take them?

Whatever you do Just dont knowingly break the FARs...remember even if the company gets fined you are at risk too, I guess the companies policy is if you dont like it you can Grieve it later
