I agree that we need to look at this closely for section 6, I imagine if your a NB Pilot based in ATL it can be very frustrating.

Guess that whole word "contract" has different meanings for different people.

That is a late tag. Totally legal from the PWA.

What you stated: You are sitting in the seat for the first leg of the rotation. Checklists done, just chatting. 20 minutes from push and you get re-routed. Like get up leave the jet you are on to go to another gate and operate a different trip...That should have pushed 10 minutes ago.
Your rotation was not delayed and you were rerouted into a rotation that reported prior to yours. Illegal on both accounts.

You assumed that they were different report times because I said the other flight was late. It was late as they had been trying to find an FO. We both had an 0820 departure time. We were running early. The PHX flight finally went out albeit about 3.5 hours late.
Dig thru my post history, this happened in May. I posted it here in one of the threads and NuGuy said to make sure to contact the union. I did and they looked into it no violation, just the pay part. The re-route was legit.
So how many 9E people are we going to get from the flow before it is shutdown? Also, what if someone in that flow had previously interviewed with us and failed the interview? I guess that doesn't matter in the flow? Lots of questions about this.
I forget, are we still in contract negotiations???

Speaking of 2 + hour sits in ATL does anyone know if the gym in the A concourse is open yet? I have yet to rerouted mid-workout - must be good Karma. Either hat or they couldn't find me there.
