I'm a captain on reserve. Currently on a deadhead back to base. It's the only thing on my schedule for today, I have reserve tomorrow, thurs, fri. When I get back to base after this deadhead, how long do I have to wait to be released and possibly have the afternoon off until my reserve call out tomorrow? Contract seems worded weirdly.

For those prospective new hires who don't know. Just thought I'd share some "facts" after all these "rumors".

Compass is starting four new routes in December.

Mazatlan, Mexico for Delta.

Salt Lake City, Montrose CO, and Redmond OR for American.

If they don't contact you within 15 mins of block in, as far as I know, you're self released. I always just take a flight straight home and skip dh's, but I'm a slacker.

How would they get a hold of you within 15 mins of block in? I have never heard of anyone meeting people at the gate after a DH. I guess it is possible, but nothing I have heard of ever happening outside of a drug test.

I have been met at the gate after a DH before to be given additional flying.

The 15 minute notification I'm referring to is what I take from 117 rules.

Forgot to put on your Hawaiian shirt and sunglasses :D


117 doesn't have anything to do with the contractual ways they can get a hold of you. 117 defines what is duty and rest, but not what you are required to do after a DH. Contracts define that. Barring them meeting you at the gate, that is mostly the only contractual way for them to guarantee to get a hold of you.
