I flew with a guy who had someone on the jumpseat who knew someone who went to NCE on a WS last year. Over Thanksgiving, I think it was.

Not the same guy. Just get the same talking points/marching orders from higher up:D

IT WOULD ALL FIT WITHIN MAX PICK-UP, with a bow-wave, and we could all fill up throughout the year, to a reasonable amount that would be more in line to the pilot profession than the oldest profession.
Someone should bring this up and the next DALPA shin-dig as we really do need protection from ourselves. |

Been in lots of briefs lately and have not heard it discussed. First I heard of this was your post. While being possible I think your scenario is highly unlikely, too many variables to make it plausible.

Scambo, as you know, our trip mix makes it hard to 'fill up' to...75-82, if you've got a 70hr. line, as there is very little in open time, and what's there is usually too much time, ie. 32-46, and too much time to white slip...UNLESS...you unload a trip to do it. (ie. trip parking)
So, you are left with the low time line, or come up with a creative work around. I would prefer we go to a fixed cap, at the ALV, and then have bow wave and spill back added, to 'fix' the short months. This would eliminate a lot of the games people play. Sure, they might still find a way to pick up a 46hr. trip on top of their 76hr. line, but they'd only be paid the ALV, and the rest could be used to fill up last month, and/or spill fwd to next mo. Of course the MEC would then take a pay cut...from 87 down to 82. Boo frickity hoo. |

That works fine if your base is on east coast time...... Just make sure you are aware that the schedule check is on or after 1500 base time. That bit me a few years ago......
Denny Oof. Didn't know that. Thanks for the correction. |
Never enough Julianne Hough.

Like you, I have struggled with the trip mix issues. Over the past year, I have been able to average slightly over 90 hrs/mo...AVERAGED OUT. To do this, I have done the vacation month stuff, LCA stuff, GS, RLL to big GS, every trick except parking. I totally agree with the fact that this needs a fix. I like the bowwave, and I've never understood why there were different rules for opentime/swap/pickup. Recently, there have been improvements to line building ability. If there was no pickup limit, I am certain that several guys would be on the road 30 days a month. I like to be on the road less than 12. |
Soooo, when are we going to hire for the SEA expansion???:D
