I have one of those sweet three days (8 pm report, 24 hr layover, all nighter back) that credits 10:30 later this week. Will this now be worth 13:30 with the new average daily credit, and when do we expect our schedule in ICrew to reflect this?

Still worth 10:30. That 4:30 does not go into effect for a few months (I think October).

The 7th SC doesn't go into effect until 2014 when the new rest rules go into effect. For the international guys, it will be a lot less time on SC - 10 hours less per SC than what we're doing now.

I thought it went into effect in August 2013? Maybe it's August 2014. Either way, why did we add a 7th for the domestic guys? It could have been possible to negotiate 7 short calls for the international categories and keep it at 6 for the domestic categories. I really hope by the time this happens, I will have the choice of not being reserve. Maybe, we will open a base where I live, then I will have a choice to not commute. Living in base, not doing reserve....that would be the life.

Wow, look at the cost savings analysts expect from the switch to 717's from 50-seaters. I think this exceeds the DALPA forecast in savings.

Delta to Add 88 Boeing 717 Fleet - Yahoo! Finance

Up to $750M in cost savings in 2013 alone.

Is this a bad thing? Just asking...

Only if DALPA misjudged it as part of our negotiations.

From the Negotiators Notepad:The seventh short call to which a pilot may be converted in a bid period in which the ALV is 77:00 or higher (reserve guarantee 75:00 or greater) will be effective concurrently with the implementation of the new FARs which reduce the maximum allowable length of a short call to 14 hours.

From the same NNP about the "Average Daily Guarantee": Average Daily Guarantee of 4:30 per calendar day will be effective November 1, 2012.

A 20% raise in 2 1/2 years is bad? When every other peer airline is in BK or still have worse contracts? Get over it, plz.
