Since Fedex contract
#11
Would anyone think we should start a new topic on fatigue? I realize everyone has different experiences but in 12 years I havent had to call in fatigued. Some of the posts say they have had to call in fatigued "several times in two years". Maybe we all should hear these examples so we could build a better database on this. If this isnt the correct forum then any suggestions would be welcomed. Cheers.

op emergency
Fedex guys...
Some of you referenced "op emergency" in your posts. As a brown bubba, we don't have that in our contract. What does the declaration of "op emergency" do to your duty times/rest times/pay?
TIA

If they declare an Ops Emergency, then can take us to FAR limits (16hrs).

Basically, it's license to throw the schedules in the fireplace and do with you as they want. Example: lock the crew in a 727 for 7 hrs on the ramp during an icestorm waiting for better WX. Then, launch the fleet and add an extra leg or two. That kind of thing...

In exchange, you do get an extra 3CH of pay on top of the overage earned. So, gunga-la-gunga. I've got that going for me; which is nice.

Safety is paramount, until it meets Money. Then Money is paramount.
That's the only way to explain the failure to equip all 727s with TCAS until it was mandated by CFR. IF Safety had been paramount, they would have been on all the airplanes as soon as they were available.
