I do not believe they do, therefore I do not see any monies being payed to furloughed IPAers.

Gee Bob. I know you love this place but come on. You normally have good information to pass? What is up? You upset no one can pick up OT? or take JA's? You see how many uncovered flights get taken by "management" in Anchorage? Last time I checked it was still a domicile:D

Salty,

By my count, there are currently 17 airport standby aircraft per weekday

757- (11 total) 4 in SDF, 2 each in MIA and ONT, and one each in DFW, RFD, and PHL.

A300- (4 total) 2 in SDF and 1 each in RFD and EWR

MD11- 2 in SDF

Is that a cut back in Hots?

I just count things and leave the good or bad up to the reader...

I haven't been looking at ANC other than reading in the forums that there is a problem with the reserve times not in complete sync with the needs, thus some JA attempts (or posts stating that some reserve crews accept the non-contractual times). That would fall in the category of "flights that do not fit the contractual reserve call-out time or maximum duty time."

If expect UPS is keeping good records of the reasons for MEF, but those are not available to me. I did qualify my post with "a lot, probably most" but that is just a guess across all fleets.

Roberto,

Those are scheduled hots. Most nights, tons of SDF 757 crews get called in to sit hot. I know you think this open time ban is silly, but it is having an impact. It's not going to be a factor everyday, but the company will have to account for the fact that they can't rely on the IPA pilots to pick up the slack when some kind of IROP or other unusual increase in crew requirements.

Go look at SDF 75 opentime. Anyone who says the ban is not working, nice try. And good luck to UPS in getting all those flights covered.

Roberto,
Historically, yes. Post Teamsters team driving was first major impact on Hot coverage with reduced 4 day a week flying. Hotel Hots then cut.
Now you'll notice that even in your count that they do not have daily coverage. UPS bid packages show gaps. Example: MD-11 Hot has one each early and late Hot in SDF. Those lines have a week long gap. There is no scheduled Hot in the bid package. UPS used to have scheduled, bid package coverage for each night. No longer, Check out the 757 early and late. They double some nights and have singles on others weeks. You have counted lines at 17 Hot Lines, does not equate to 17 per night though with the gaps. Additionally, in last several years, Supervisors are now built RSV lines to include their 'FLY' days.
Presently, UPS is restricting some fleets regarding supervisor Proficiency Flying. The Supervisors will be assigned by scheds, they don't pick at their choice.
My other questions still linger in the ethernet, most notably how does FedEx manage the business with line pilots that UPS cannot?

FedEx works "with" their pilots. There is not a "hostile" relationship between the two(at least not constantly like here).
Of course there are people here that REALLY love it (both the job and who they work for). I wonder when the next lawsuit will be filed to change the age again. After all, some people just NEVER want to retire.:(

I followed your suggestion and looked at both FO and CPT SDF 75 opentime, and they both look about the same. However, I only counted FO and got:

52 reserves of all types or about 780 reserve days in the pay period.

About 72 days of OT.

Be careful, or you will be accused of setting me up <g>

Salty,
The week-long gap in domicile Hot lines (3 weeks of Hot and one week off) is historically placed in VTO lines, or if unable, in OT. The out-station Hots are 2 lines but I only counted as 1 Hot. Granted, weekends are not covered in the bid packages.
Regards,
Roberto
