The zero additional pilots isn't anything new, that's been the line for a while. FAR 117 basically mirrors most of our contract - the 9 hour flight time per day won't be as useful as you might think since you can't go over it. Also, from what I heard is any less pilots triggered by the 9 hours is negated by more augmentation needed on international runs.

Trying to decided on leaving ER. Commuting to the northwest for lots of China, NRT, and CDG was taking it out of me I now realize. Looking for a domestic a/c when I return. Leaning towards 73n LAX. Not having DBMS access makes it harder to figure out where in a category I would be placed. However LAX would make getting there easy as PHX is home. Buzz, you all cover SNA and ONT like the 757 did/or does?

Go Vols, but more importantly, Go Huskies.
You're off the hook. I won't refer to you as a deadbeat or anything else. It wasn't a fair wager because you didn't stand a chance.

I wish there was a way for someone to bet that I couldn't stay off here for 10 years..... it seems that financial incentive is about the only way I can be motivated to put down the crack pipe...

Thanks for the go Vols thing...

I believe our contract limits us to 8 hrs flying. To use the 9 hrs would require a downgrade in our contract. I could be wrong.

p.s. that's un-augmented of course.

I don't believe that is correct...however I could be wrong. Our scheduling committee is doing a good job with their updates. Expect more and more detailed examples in the upcoming weeks. As it is a lot of this message board chatter approaches speculation.

There is not a domestic 8 hr restriction in our contract.

Well, my contract shows from section 12-Hours of Service:
"12 E 1 An International category pilot will not be scheduled for block time in excess of eight hours in a trans-oceanic duty period."

You guys are correct of course. Our contract prevents being "scheduled" for greater than 8 hrs flying. That would also prevent the company from using the 9 hour non augment in far 117. So I still see it as a downgrade.

Your reference is for international category pilots.
