KDENPilot

Well, if you would take the time to read the contract, you would see that 25K 1 states "The company may advance assign a reserve pilot a trip(s) from open time in accordance with 25 G 1 (Open Time Assignments), only for the following purposes:" Quoting 25 K 1 c "to cover an open time trip that is more than 50 hours TAFB, such assignment shall not be awarded more than 7 days in advance." In other words, it was legal since trip 145/02 appears to be well more than 50 hours TAFB and 29Sep is less than 1 week before 01Oct.

Gunter, what is your problem with CRS? I've talked with many of them, and even was neighbors with one for about a year while I lived in MEM. We're still friends, and guess what? They're not wrong very often, and when they are, they get reprimanded. I've showed him some of the stuff that comes up on APC, and it's laughable how wrong some of our assumptions are. Yeah, they make mistakes sometimes, who doesn't, but it's not like it's some sort of planned conspiracy. Based on your posts, it seems like you're pretty junior and don't really appreciate just how good you have it here. 4A2B or not, 777 pay rate or not, this is still the best and easiest job in the world. Try dealing with crew scheduling at your typical regional carrier or smaller freight operator (Kalitta or Amerijet, anyone?) Now those are screwed up scheduling situations.

Oh, by the way, section 25 G 1 of the contract (the one that no one on here seems read, or if they do, only read it selectively,) It says that open time may be used in the following order. Training assignments, phase-in, make-up.....etc. A line check is considered a training assignment by the company, and referring to trip 630/02Oct, it appears that a line check is being done on that pairing. That's why it has the "LCA" tag.
