Now, I'm confused...On the one hand, we say we want tighter/stronger scheduling limits and language. On the other hand, we think it might be OK for the company to schedule us to the current contractual limits, with a pairing that consistently goes over that limit.
Go figure.
From the SIG April notes: ...
The CDG-STN-MEM sequence, while not disputable previously, is now being disputed based upon new times which put the scheduled duty period very close to the 13:30 limit. Based on operational history the STN-MEM has to date blocked in late in 43% of the time it’s flown.
Sorry. But, I can't even imagine trying to lead this group.
