Actually E, you won't have the 30 in 7 with the new regs, that goes away. You now have look back duty periods. This way, they can keep us on the road, subject to reroute (thereby saving reserves) and abuse you until you cry uncle and fake a back injury to get home. Of course, you'll be needing that doctors note:)

Just curious, what about trip rig (1 for 3.5)? It seems to be a factor on longer trips...

Denny

There is that as well. An 8 day trip would be worth around 50-55 hours.

Dig all you want.....

It's just like the show with Jody Foster..."Contact"

It was all so confusing until they found the "Primer", then it became totally clear how to build the time travel machine....

The new FAR work/rest rules are the Primer for unlocking the "gotchas" of this TA.


Just like the new Scope! Bring up Large RJ's up to 325. Then lock in the block hour ratio.....

Once locked....Shrink mainline and drop the remaining 111 50 seat RJ's to maintain correct ratio.

Once mainline is shrunk....bring on next merger

Pay Management handsomely! They really are THAT good! Tip of the hat to Anderson..... suckas!

Sometimes I wonder if people even read our contract, or the current TA. :)

Bidding question. I have shadow days the first 6 of July. Suppose to finish training end of June with OE to follow. How do the shadow days affect the way I bid? Thanks

Yep should have typed 7 days...not 8

Example....Day 1 depart ATL 2200 to West coast. TAFB 3 hrs

Day 2-5 what ever, but 5 days X 24 TAFB 120 hrs

Day 7 Red Eye back TAFB 3 hrs


At 1 to 3.5 Pay is 36 hours

You're missing our trip rig, eruption. Most of your assumptions are off base and skewed.

It is highly unlikely that they would drop the remaining 50 seaters... there is a place for them, just they over bought them by a large margin.

I do think that the scope section and even with the delivery of all the 717s will create as few as 220 new pilot positions, though. That number has not been disputed.

"Highly unlikely"......well if you say so.....
