The specifics are I have 3 reserve days at the end of dec and 6 days of work starting on the 1st, which violates the 30 in 168 rest rule. I'm hoping they drop a reserve day to comply, but if they fly me and drop part of a January trip am I pay protected in any way?

I have no idea how your CBA might address this, but you might be legal as the FAA has ruled that everyone will be reset to zero on everything at midnight on 1-3-14. No lookback required, except for the 10 hours rest prior to duty on the 4th.

The era of "proactive engagement," may be drawing to a close.

I'm glad to DALPA is not rubber-stamping management's every wish.


Most of you have received the recent All Pilots Bulletin from SVP-Flight Operations, Captain Steve Dickson, regarding the Company position on FAR 117’s interaction with several provisions of the existing PWA. ALPA is actively negotiating with the Company to reach an agreement on the new FAR 117 regulations and our PWA work rules.

With regard to the Company's publication, the Company and the Association disagree about the effect of the new FARs on some of the current work rules.

ALPA has informed the Company that the Association is retaining all its rights under the PWA. Until there is an agreement, Contract Administration will continue to enforce the current language in the PWA.

If you have a reserve rotation removed from your line due to the Company asserting that your acknowledgement was untimely, please contact Contract Administration immediately.
...and in related news, the company is slow-rolling next month's schedule release, again.

Welcome to the "new" Delta. Smells a lot like the "old" Northwest.

Ha, I totally went in the backdoor and evidently left too soon because things weren't finished yet.

What I mean is the schedule was slightly different than what I saw.

Just read DAL is clipping PEk to NRT flights, I work these every month and the load factors on them seem good. Are we code sharing this out or just doing the Monty Python move? (run away run away)

This has been a way to get crews to Asia, will this cause more DH's to NRT or is something else happening?

thanx

JFK Transportation?
 
Hmmmmmmm,

The company has decided to have arriving crews (pilots and flight attendants) ride the Airtrain to Federal Circle and meet the Hotel {that shall go nameless, because this is a public forum and no one must know where airline crews layover because it is a very big security secret :rolleyes:} shuttle van there. The intent is that it will be a quicker trip to the hotel, rather than waiting for a van to arrive from the hotel. Outbound crews will still be dropped off at the terminal by the hotel shuttle.




OK Let me get this straight - When crews are going to the airport it is quick and convenient to drop us at the airport, but when we are going to the Hotel - Tango Sierra!


Something seems fishy here.
