Or is it a me/iPhone problem?
Also, I just got a 2 day for tomorrow worth 10:09, where the dpa should be 10:30? ***? Does dpa only apply to reg pilots? What about a reserve picking up GS? This is bs and needs to be fixed in the next contract.
There always seems to be issues with the VRU. They are probably doing software updates. I would try it from a land line. It seems to work for me when I have that issue.
As for the DPA, yes it only applies to line holders and not reserve pilots. Yep, you are not worth as much. I am sure some will get on here and tell you that you are given 5:15 for each day if you will break the reserve guarantee based upon duty periods for the month. That means you would need to have 13.333(14) in a month to be credited for 5:15 for each of them resulting in actually making it over 70 hrs.
For the purpose of you question, no, you do not get 5:15 a day.
