The way I read the memo, is that the minimum turn times for construction and rerouting are set at the table limits, except there are certain airports where the limit is more. It appears they finally published that table under Scheduling MISC. like the ALPA memo says. It wasn't there last week. ATL is 55 minutes DOM-DOM. So if the company built a trip with less than 55 minutes in Atlanta on a DOM turn, they are supposed to call scheduling and have them no-op it. If they reroute a pilot with less than 55 minutes, they are supposed to add that time on to the duty day, which is still required to be legal by the PWA and by the FARs. But maybe that's only if it is actually below the 30 minutes the chart requires and not the 55 time in the table of airports with different MCTs? I'm not sure. The memo could have used another example or two.

I think this just set the policy in stone and thankfully they have published their secret list of airport turn times. Can come in to play with various other sections like 8d3 as well.


Also, how we would lose out on grieving something? I wouldn't be shocked for the company to say just that if you call them on a trip built wrong.
