In areas where we've made improvements, keep the improvements. Give the company some credit for those improvements. And then, instead of the 48% increase to our pay rates it would take for full buying power restoration, we could take something somewhat less (maybe 30%?) to allow for the other improvements. We're still donating our pensions and somewhere between $500K and $1 million per pilot in pay for the past 9 years. I think that's extremely reasonable on our part!

My understanding after speaking with mec sched is that you can be sched for UP to 168 fdp without 30 hour rest. I'm at 144 and change, so supposed to be good. Still seems like big step backward.

Really? I thought you had to have a 30 hour period in any rolling 168 hour period. This is going to be fun.

Before beginning any reserve or flight duty period a flightcrew member must be given at least 30 consecutive hours free from all duty in any 168 consecutive hour period.

The 30 in 168 needs to be met BEFORE starting a FDP. It is not a look back at the end of the trip. So I need to amend my hypothetical trip -

Day 1: report 1900, 5 hour FDP, 14 hour layover
Day 2: 10 hour FDP, 14 hour layover
Day 3: 10 hour FDP, 14 hour layover
Day 4: 10 hour FDP, 14 hour layover
Day 5: 10 hour FDP, 14 hour layover
Day 6: 10 hour FDP, 13 hour layover
Day 7: 5 hour FDP. Block in at 1800

When you report for the day 7 flying at 1300 you still have had 30 hours off in the previous 168. At block in on day 7 you will not have had 30 hours of rest in the previous 168 but that's ok since you had met the required rest PRIOR to starting the day 7 FD
This might be the answer to Monkeys question - as long as he had 30 off in 168 PRIOR to REPORTING for his last FDP he should be legal.

- Leine beat me to it :)

But is it 30 cumulative Hours or consecutive. If I add a 30 rest period to the beginning, its 177 hours....over the 168. I know I must be making this more complicated than it is. Missing something.

Consecutive, and again, you have to look back from the beginning of day 7 to find if you're legal that day NOT the end of the day.

If you want to PM me your rotations I'll do the math for you and get back to you.

Free gym in ATL airport below gate A27. Good for a 2 hr sit or commuters.
Merry Christmas

What all do they have in it. Free weights? Machine / cable? Barbells?

Also, heard there is a new one in the main headquarters? Membership required or is employee ID enough. Hours?

Plotting for my return to Virginia Avenue.

I know allowing 70 more 76 seat jets was a "victory".

And it would be a step backwards to have trips missed for vacation and 44 days of vacation.

Or our old training pay

Or seniority list instructors instead of giving away countless jobs to DGS.

I could go on and on and on but you can't fix stupid.
