Sweep Flights Revisions
LRD-MEM flight, departure time amended and scheduled delayed for one hour with original airport stby period of 30 minutes not changed, resulting in a break in the arpt stby period to the scheduled new depart time of two hours plus ten minutes ................. Then I noticed that after trip was over, the entire arpt stby duty period was changed to show that we did one hour plus ten minutes as arpt stby, so as not to show any break in the arpt stby duty period to the new scheduled delayed depart time.
Was this done correctly or should there have been another arpt stby duty period tacked on the pairing as another revision to the pairing ? Reason I ask this way, our weak CBA has allowed the Company to NOT pay us for any bid pack designated sweep flights, under the section of disruptions unless another duty period is added to the pairing. Should I have called and pressed to have another arpt stby duty period added to this pairing, once Company had revised our departure time to one hour later and there was a break in the arpt stby duty period to the scheduled revised departure time ???
Company is getting away with making us show for scheduled airport standby periods and holding us longer at the ramps to satisfy their requirements of a later departure time.
