Here is your long call obligation. Section 23.S.6
6. A long call pilot who is assigned a rotation or converted to short call:
a. prior to release from a rotation, must acknowledge such assignment or conversion
prior to release.
b. via telephone contact or electronic placement on his schedule on his last non-fly day
(other than a vacation day) before an on-call day, must acknowledge such assignment
or conversion no later than:
1) three hours before the scheduled report of the rotation, or
2) one hour before the scheduled start of the short call period.In a perfect world that would have come out a few hours after the Flight Ops memo. In the real world of union and management collusion and a generally disengaged pilot group, I anticipate yet another concessionary LOA in short order.
I no longer have any faith in our MEC to actually look out for our best interests.

Yep. I'm well aware of that, as are you apparently. What about the other 11,000 of us? I would expect my union to highlight exactly what you just posted in an email to the entire pilot group AT A MINIMUM....

I would have at least thought ACL would have said we are aware and are addressing the issue.

80 and FtB might just get their wish for a national championship game. Keep it civil gents. Maybe we should start by a cheerleader comparison

A long call pilot that gets called in the middle of the night at 0100 for a 1300 show must now acknowledge the trip NLT 0300, there by interrupting his REM cycle and leading to terrible "rest" prior to the trip. (According to the company, not the contract).
Yeah, something has to give. They are going to have to extend long call to make any sense at all. Trips like this are going to have to go to short calls.
Whatever happens, we need to make sure that DALPA doesn't allow more short call periods. The company already gets too many IMO. "I'm only sitting a couple short calls a month right now so it doesn't matter" you say? Wait until we are experiencing a ton of movement and all the categories look like the -88 does now. Long call will be but a dream...
Looks like the ball is in our court to get some reserve improvements, because this new "policy" doesn't jive with the contract.

Just move GSs, both in and out of base above SC coverage...voila, problem solved.

WAR EAGLE!
2 weeks off with a great running game vs a PASSING team with a QB with rape charges that have been cleared. I would put my money on the SEC team.
Sorry New, Bears lose to Boys on Monday night. Bears D not the same and Romo will not play as bad as he did last year.
