thats GS with conflict?

correct.

filler

Just assigned another 2 day trip after the 5 day. Yes...7 days in a row, legal by minutes only....great summer ahead!

Hilarious how the company made an impressive run thru Memorial Day weekend with little issues and the very next weekend bloodbath. Raining Greenslips with Conflict today on the 73

I hate you guys. NQAT.... still.

Hate the game

Aren't you a 350A?

Yep - this happens especially with a later sign in. IMHO it can be more fatiguing than pre 117. Basically any time you report you look back 168 hours for a 30 hour break. The two confusing points are the 30 hour break can be prior to any duty on day 1 and also that the look back occurs at report not at your scheduled finish.

It seems in some ways we were “Blinded with science” regarding FAR 117. 😜

Scoop

The worst part of 117 was getting rid of 30/7....

This is absolutely horrendous for reserves with a long string of on call days, but so so GLORIOUS for lineholders on back to back Greenies or reserves that are Rolling Thunder.

I once had 9 days of Green in a row including long layovers in LAS and PDX(30 hrs Pre COVID). It was absolutely wonderful.

Yes... well converted anyway

LOL Fair enough....

$25,477.20 per month and you get to be home every day with no company obligation.

I will gladly trade you schedules. You can have the 9 green slips I've flown since the beginning of April.

What airplane are you on? And the last I checked, Greenslips are voluntary.

I think he was saying he’d take your salary+no obligation and you can have his+his 9 green slips in response to your initial complaint that you’re missing out on the green slips because you’re NQAT.

Qol gouge. Drop down to 72-75 hours. Pick up 1 2-day GS. 93-96 hours for 14-15 days total work. Throw in 4 weeks vacation and 4 sick calls (when you're sick), you're only working 10-11 days per month for 8 months of the year. You'll average 95 hours per month and still enjoy qol.

just drop down, you dummies!

We’ll be senior someday

Yeah. Those 4 and 5 days over the weekend you got douched with on an 80 hr ALV will go right away in the swap board.

Pick up a green slip, because they’re always available!

Yeah, who needs to properly staff the airline......

I was being sarcastic. GSs are not regularly available to all bases/equipment

Why didn't I think of that!!! Damn I'm dumb!

I am pretty sure he did not get hired into this position.

I was attempting to imply that getting lots of money to stay at home isn't the worst thing in the world

Agree. 😀

OOfff's right. (Ugh).

The true story won't be written until the end of the year and a comparison is made between 2021 and previous years.

As long as IA's aren't a thing, it's hard to get upset about it one way or the other. Being unable to drop anything as a lineholder is probably more relevant.

IAs are voluntary, too

Refresh my memory, no sarcasm.

I don't believe ARCOS is currently set up for IA's. As a practical matter, if you don't answer your phone, it's difficult to get an IA.

Can you be assigned an IA mid rotation via ACARS, for example?

Not really necessary because the GS, and more specifically, GSWC is such a sweet deal there's apparently no limit to the amount of pilots who will pick them up. Fine by me.

i was supporting your sarcasm. Lighten up.

Doesn’t even matter if you answer your phone on an IA call; it’s just a recording saying that rotation 1234 is available and to call skeds if you want it. So “inverse assignment” is a complete misnomer.

Not always.

You could be met at the jetway by a chief pilot telling you that you have been IA into a trip starting tomorrow that was supposed to be a day off. Or, you could be rerouted by crew tracking via ACARS to fly into a day off. Or, assigned a trip on reserve that flies on your off days during the transition from a month of reserve to a month of line (I know that technically isn't an IA but it's still working on days you thought you had off).

When was the last time someone was met in the jetway by a CP with an IA?

Now an ACARS's notification for an IA the next day? I could see that happening if we start to cancel flights.

The problem for the Company is that there is always a way out for us.

Does anyone know how common these methods are? I'm not saying they don't happen, just wondering if anyone has had this happen to them?

Search my post history.

People throw spears at me for documenting this, but I do it for a reason.

I've only listed a fraction of the re-routes and late tags I've gotten/

Just look at my sig in my avatar. that ain't no joke brother.

I'm still a new guy at 20+ years....what is a late tag? Never heard that term before.

They become common if the company can’t cover the trips. I worked XMas once via a jetway assignment. There was once a time when pilots changed out of uniform and gave their flight kits to another pilot to sneak off the aircraft it was so bad.

I've heard the famous legend of the great escape via catering truck a few times. It may be embellished or have no truth at all but it's lore at this point. Of course this would never work today because catering shows up at D15.

You mean they "fixed the glitch?"

Now we know why they were so aggressive in getting rid of the 88's...now no fleet has the tailcone escape option...
