If ALV is 80, your guarantee is 78, so at 77:59 you're good for another trip. Only when you hit 78 are you done.
You're good for a 17:01 trip then!
IIRC rsv guarantee does not go above 78, amirite?
So if ALV is 82, then you can be taken at 77:59 for a 19:01 trip instead.

The contract states this...
Sec 23 d.2
A reserve pilot will NOT be required to remain on call after his accumulated credit equals or exceeds his reserve guarantee.
Guarantee is ALV-2, so I think you're full at ALV-2.

The rub is going to be how much Skeds modify pairings to keep people just under the limit. My strategy will be to YS to just over the ALV then turn off the phone.

The first real test of the recently added PWA language efficacy will be when it comes to how PWA 1.E.8 applies to the VA JV....
I will be the first to admit that I was underwhelmed that all we managed to secure is 75% of Delta's share of the revenue to be flown by Delta pilots.
After all the Transatlantic JV secures nearly 100% of Delta's revenue share to be flown by Delta pilots.
Yet Delta purchasing a 49% financial stake in Virgin Atlantic is something completely different from any JV agreement we've had in the past. Here's what it says in the PWA when it comes to Delta's revenue share of JV and how that relates to what percentage of flying will be performed by Delta pilots:
Delta pilots should fly 55.8% of all DAL/VA JV flying
(per PWA 1.E.8 75% share of Delta's 74.5% JV revenue share)
If our NC can use 1.E.8 to secure 55.8% of the Delta Virgin JV flying for Delta pilots it will be a huge win and a big increase in WB Europe flying.
Cheers

- Delta has a 49% share in Virgin Atlantic Revenue.

- Delta has a 74.5% share of the total DAL VA JV revenue.

What I said: (note the bolding)
Here's what you asked:
If he is at 80 hours, then yes, he is full.. if he is at 79:59, he is not full and up for up to a 17:01 trip. I'm not sure how what I stated was confusing.

Regardless, none of us will be correct until we have solid data to back up our individual theories. Until then, all of us debating over what will happen is pointless.

What I've stated isn't theory... that's cold hard math on what they can do. How much they will take advantage of it is yet to be seen, but it is available to them as a tool now thanks to that concession.

I never meant that they couldn't do it. I meant how much they utilize it is what's debatable.

Ferd, going for non sequitur post of the year. ...
FO Version
Captain version ?
What the heck has any of this got to do with Average Line Value and the fact Delta's min staffing model is going to be green slip heaven (if you're into that kind of thing)? I wouldn't get my hands dirty with any of them, but Jennifer Grey, pre rhinoplasty as a aerobatic pilot in Wind kinda caught my fancy as something I could get into.
