Just FYI during the first 7 days of Jan the Delta Pilot Network will be phone available 24/7 for all questions related to Part 117. There will be a 117 presentation on the Scheduling Committee page, and there are plans to have an online webinar available. A pilot will have the option to participate once per week.

What are the PCS limits for 30/7? I have two trips that bring me to 29:15; I want to swap for a trip that brings me to 29:42. It will not let me do it. I am guessing 29:30 is limit. If so, will it let me swap it if I go 12 minutes under block while flying first trip?

I couldn't find that exact language in the PWA, but if it's there, then long call reserves will never be legal to work unless we voluntarily acknowledge a trip with enough time to get the legal rest.
To say that the union would have some huge leverage would be an understatement

As good little white-collar wannabes, we must always ask ourselves:

This month, if you underblock to reach 29:30, then your swap should be approved.

Indeed 
23.S.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.

Is there a different requirement while one is actually on call?

I would agree, significant leverage available.

Thanks, it's this year. Trying to get home earlier on New Years Eve. Plenty of trips that do it, but I have 30/7 issues with all of them. Here's to hoping for good weather and strong tailwinds, lol.
