And if you are at the high end and fatigued, you are fatigued. If guys do what is right this will be self correcting. My guess is guys/and their spouses will like the sudden larger paychecks. Just like the ho's that fly max sched/max pickup every month. We are our own worst enemy and we wonder why we are not hiring
Mi Amiga! As much as the Ho's try to "go over" our skeds are Baptist ministers and intolerant of ho'ing, if you catch my drift. I've found that I try to roll some thunder the whole month until it appears I'm going over, then I'm all Ho Chi Min City! But, Crew Scheduling would rather have their internet connections to EBay and Match.com shut down than to pay a pilot an extra buck.

Here is one thing for the ER class and other widebody pilots*, how much does it cost to cancel an international flight? Like to Lagos? It's worth it to have more than you need.
*widebody = wide airplane, not wide pilots.

I'll bring Sec 23 d.2 up to the scheduler next time they assign me short call between ALV-2 and ALV. I'm not sure how closely they follow this or if the computer will allow them to do this. It seems I have to call them to confirm this, that it isn't necessarily automatic, and then they'll place FULL on my schedule for the remaining days as a reminder.

Bingo, that is why the Alv15 is not going to have a major impact. Most guys flew those trips anyway. Not to mention that the manning formula is unchanged from the prior contract.

Oh, even better, the Online Cafe, or whatever it's called. Good eats. Crew menu too.

LOL, greate quote from Fletch ;-)
That remains to be seen, per the PWA 1.e.8. we should be...
Delta currently flies a fraction of what Virgin Atlantic flies between the US and Britain.
Having Delta pilots fly even just half of all DAL/VA JV flying would be a huge increase on Delta pilots part...
The difficult equation is whether DAL keeps the US Britain flying in the current transatlantic JV or establishes a new JV and breaks out that flying from the existing Transatlantic JV with AF/KLM/AZ.
Each of these scenarios will require a reset of the EASK balance in the current AF/KLM/AZ JV.
That's why it's important to understand that right now Delta is well below the goal of 50% and even well below the lowest permissible limit of 48.5%...
