They were lucky to have crashed on that island where there was a crane waiting.

The only thing that irked me from that show was how one time it was a 777, in reality it was an L1011, but at one point it was a 757.

But what did not irk me was...



the writing. Right up to the last episode, it was great except that one slow year in the beginning. That last episode sucked.

 

Danica the pilot.

 

Yes, from what I recall. LAXHNL is considered international thus legal to go. On the other hand, you would not be legal for a Domestic segment.

TEN

 

Fly,

Possibly. If you had a layover anywhere greater than 24 hours I don't think you will see an 'R' on your schedule.

If you sat reserve the whole time and were never used you will have to be able to show a 24 hour period that was free of duty - not sure how you could do this without the "R."

I recommend that you give scheduling a call and ask to talk to speak with a supervisor - they are pretty good on these issues. Not really sure about the international specifics as I am just a 737 pogue.

Scoop

 

I did, and they say I'm legal because its intnl. But FAR 121.481(d), which they also said I'll be operating under, says :

(d) No pilot may fly more than 32 hours during any seven consecutive days, and each pilot must be relieved from all duty for at least 24 consecutive hours at least once during any seven consecutive days.''

As I said, no R on my schedule in the past 7 days, and either flying or on reserve all that time and no 24 hour layover or break...

 

You are required to have 24 hours rest on international in 7 days just like domestic. I have had my pickup and departure delayed in Europe to comply. Long call reserve may count as rest for international. Call ALPA.

 

It applies to any long trips including 4 and 5 day domestics. We can ask the company to change it but I suspect the will want the offsets they gave us back. Reserve utilization was looked at long and carefully when this was agreed to. Actual data and schedules were used not idle speculation. It is going to have minimal effect. The 1 hour yearly increase in average ALV and 30 day months will have a larger effect.
The offset of a lower full point and applying known absences keeps the job loss close to neutral. The company is using the same manning assumptions pre and post contract.
I honestly don't know how many of you have time to post here. If you believe even 10% of what you post here you must be on the Internet most of the day job hunting. It would be the only responsible thing to do if you have a family and if you truly believe what comes off your keyboard.

 

Call DALPA office, ask for either Scheduling or Contract Admin. That's what they are there for, and lucky for you, it's not a weekend or holiday so someone will be there today and tomorrow, M-F, 9-5. They have gotten me out of some sketchy re-routes and assignements.

Every Delta pilot should have this number in their phone, I have even called them from the cockpit to get an answer: 1-800-USA-ALPA

 

That's the exact same face she made when those 5 cars blew past her on the last lap!! W.T.F. was the leader thinking, not coming down to block?

3rd to 8th in about 5 seconds....

 

OK, short answer is that Whitlow doesn't apply to intnl flag ops, therefore time spent on reserve if not used IS considered rest... again international ops only... This will change with the new FARs...
