Just got back from day 1 of recurrent....no new news. Didn't even have any old rumors to share.
PS....in honor of Earth Day I'm putting all my empty beer bottles in the recycling bin.
So new news? Is that news about New? I heard some news about New.

- You tell scheduling that you will be traveling in (ie. 1200 is when you will be there.)
- You duty period for FAR purposes still started at 1000.
Right?
My understanding is that is right, your SC started at 1000, not 1200. I guess if someone wants to call scheduling they should be able to tell us.
It says: Inform Crew Scheduling if traveling to base to stand short call that contact may not be possible for the
fi rst 2 hours. Not, tell us your commuting in and we'll move your SC back 2 hours. I think this is strictly common sense rule to have, we give you 2 hours to get to the airport and you're saying fine, I'll be at the airport ready to go if you need me, you don't need to call me or get upset if I don't answer on first contact.

While ALPA intervened on the appeal to the Circuit Court, it's well worth noting that it was the APA who got off the pot and got us off 24 reserve periods. Kudos to them.
