ygtbsm.......so with these new rules, I can now be scheduled for 7 days on, with standard rest overnights, and fly over 36 hours in said period? And this is better? And with 16 hours in domicile between trips. Commuter special.

)The issue was rest & duty time. Efficiency wasn't a consideration. Hope you sleep well in hotel rooms.

That is why ALPA and Delta need to start working together to fix some of the holes in our contract (both on the Pilot's and the Company's side) or else we're not going to be seeing much of our homes. (14 days off and 72 hours is my line for next month )

I strongly recommend downloading both the ALPA 117 app and the "Guide to 117" from the ALPA website. They do a terrific job deciphering the regs with Q&A's.

I agree with this and I think your explanation is an expanded version of what the union put out last week via email. I wonder why the union just didn't put this exact information out and lay it out for us? If you know who wants to try to negotiate publicly, why doesn't the union come out and just say "hey guys, guess what if you are on reserve in January, good news for you...." As someone stated a couple pages ago, some guys will read the flight ops letter and think well okay I will comply, but the true leverage here lies in unity and understanding the conflict between the PWA and FAR's. Would a letter to the effect of johnso's explanation be illegal or just not constructive?
Information is power.

It's no surprise the schedulers don't know the new rules--many of them didn't know the rules before FAR 117; they just did what the computer told them to do.

Yep. Our volunteers put a lot of work into excellent publications and just as you and Sailing have suggested, read 'em.
