Almost 500 flights at American cancelled yesterday.

Delta isn’t alone in this. It’s just that Delta is the only one I care about.

I thought they said "strategic thinning" the schedule until July, then full advance notice cancelations.

Anyone who wants to see a crazy Frankensteined trip look up 3276 on 31MAY. (And no, it's not my trip.) I don't see how that could possibly be legal. 7 days in a row with no 30 hours of rest? And how the heck could someone in CT possibly build this?

Its an ATL trip, also need that info to look it up. FYI, before you start any flight duty period, you must look back 168 hours and find 30 hours of rest. What basically makes this trip legal is the fact that it has an early report on the last day and at that moment in time if you go back 168 hours you can find 30 hours rest before the trip starts. Interesting enough if the last day had reported after 1446 base time (EDT in this case) it would not be legal. Nothing prohibiting flying seven days in a row with FAR 117. Just the way the idiots at the FAA wrote it the reg!

It is a dup. The original was a 3 day that re-routed into a 7 day for some reserve guy. No telling how many coverage violations involved in this single rotation.

Not idiots, scientists. Paid for scientists. They also concluded that flying 9 hours a day is less fatiguing than flying 8 hours a day.

Probably the best thing that came out of last year was the MOA on Fatigue. Call, rest, write. It's a very simple call to the FODM (duty pilot), you are put into immediate rest and pay protected. No reason at all to fly tired. For those that worry about the passengers not getting to where they need to go, we didn't optimize the schedule, draft the MOAD, the VEOP or short staff the entire airline.

At the end of the day, I owe the passengers a SAFE trip to where they want to go.

We have all been begging the company to make changes and to admit some responsibility for previous in order to move on - crickets.

Yes any open time known about more than 14 hours out has to go through the trip coverage ladder before a reroute is allowed. (the whole ladder) At least this is my understanding. If that's true, that one rotation should get several guys pay protected.

Where is the stipulation that the lookback only applies to the start of a duty period? I thought it was at any point in time. And at the end of the last day, you can’t get back to 30hrs before the first report. To my knowledge that is not FAR compliant.

FAR117.25(b)

Before beginning any reserve or flight duty period a flightcrew member must be given at least 30 consecutive hours free from all duty within the past 168 consecutive hour period.
