I just got a 4 day trip. Pays 3 days cause it ends in a red eye. 15:59 duty day on day 1.
Ends up getting in at 6am on my day off.
Still considered a day off in the eyes of APA and the company.
Reserve needs to get a whole lot better in the next contract. How you can work almost everyday on reserve and not break guarantee? It’s APA math.

They will say “it doesn’t happen that often”. Which I think was true, but middle management has figured out how to exploit this. There are pilots on property who have no clue that it’s done differently at other airlines. They know profit sharing is better at other airlines, but have no clue about the little things.

When you get in you get debrief time, 12 hours domicile rest, then get the 24 hours shifted.

-It has been controlled for a loooooong time by very senior widebody captains.
-Work rules never affect senior widebody captains.
(I think this will change soon. An enormous number of those guys will retire shortly, and a couple of the worst ones have already been voted off the BOD. I’m hoping that as soon as the BOD loses its current majority of “eat your young” folks, we will see that change.)

Couple of important insights into our union:
-It has been controlled for a loooooong time by very senior widebody captains.
-Work rules never affect senior widebody captains.

It’s incumbent on all of us to make the rules better. Chances are, no matter your position now, you could face being on reserve.

From: Hot tub for now
Just got assigned another turd sandwich.
Got a trip assigned to me outside of 12 hours. Should go to a long call but they are out of them.
I’m good for a 3 day trip starting today. Got a 4 day starting tomorrow. I’ll lose 2 days off. But then I start a 4 day trip right after.
So yes 9 days straight.
But.... I get 30.5 hours off in Detroit so that is why they can schedule me that.
Where is APA? How can we possibly have a contract that allows for scheduling to do this? Worse than a regional. Far worse. Go to any other major but AA.
