Can anyone chime in on this?


LIDS Retired from Delta Aircraft As communicated via EFCB earlier this year, TechOps began the process of removing the Log Item Deferral Summary (LIDS) from the logbook of "red" aircraft. This process is now complete for all aircraft except the former Hawaiian Airlines (HAL) A330s. Effective July 17th, Aircraft Maintenance Technicians (AMTs) were no longer required to insert the LIDS in the logbooks (with the HAL exception noted above), and there will be no reference to LIDS when clearing a logbook deferral. The LIDS process has been replaced by the Aircraft Discrepancy Report and Cabin Discrepancy Report, which are incorporated into the flight plan paperwork.

Are we going Hawaiian?

 

Does anyone understand the changes to the reduced lower limit line RLL info. I have bid them in ,the past and now, I just don't understand what they have morphed into.

 

They used to have a selection in the drop down menu on the app but it is no longer there...

 

That's odd.

 

Here is my understanding. LIDS was the way PMNW logged MCO's. PMDL used the white and yellow MCO stickers in the front of the logbook. Back in olden times it was determined to go with the PMDL way of logging MCO's. That has now come to fruition except for the aforementioned HAL 330's that were acquired in the aforementioned olden times!

So last week I'm on a trip and it has a 23 hr layover which happens to be where I live So while at home and making dinner I get a call from scheduling. (My first mistake was to answer the phone.) The scheduler proceeds to tell me that another crew was running 5 hrs late and that crew would not be able to make their 0625 show so he was giving them our 1040 show. He had gone through my captain and we were now going to pickup that part of the trip and then DH to our oringinal destination to finish the rest of our rotation. This turned a sch 6.10 hr day into a sch day 9.37 (actual was 10) and due to the amt of credit on the trip, we made nothing extra.

So my question is since I cannot find where it says I am responsible to be on some telephone recall while on a layover, what would happen if I did not take the call and showed as originally planned?

 

FOM 3.14.

Captain is responsible as the point of contact for the entire crew. Captain will be consulted first on re routes. In the real world I have had CS contact me, a FO, about rerouting the crew. I have respectfully declined to do so because I have no knowledge of the physiological condition of the crew (rested, nurished, etc...) and did not want to say anything which would obligate a Captain.

The Captains I've flown with have always made the right call, whether it be "sure, we will be right over" to "no, we can't do that."

 

What HAL 330s????????

 

The ones they use to over fly our route network and connect passengers to Jet Blue, ANA, New Zeland and others on. Our TOC does a little outsourced maintenance for them and we have a marketing alliance.

But nooo pilots, uh no.

 

My bad, I guess I was thinking of the 767's.....
