Lol. You took my words different than I used them. San to Slc just as a single leg flight has only delta serving it w 3 mainline and 2 dci. I meant that leg was touchy. Wasn't including driving elsewhere or tapping phx or las.
And I intended the Dtw comment to be understood as "long flight w 4 mainline which isn't great but it's not impossible". That's my def of doable lol.
Between them all my advice is north county of San Diego and go for lax first then Slc then Dtw. I think I read ur comments and agreed w them. U gots to upgrade ur Internet commuter leetspeak lolz.

Roadkill,
Not a big deal, but your flight frequencies are incorrect. SAN-DTW is going down to two mainline flights a day. SAN-SLC is mostly 4 with sometimes 3 and sometimes 5 mainline.
Like you said we are both giving the same basic advice and I think he will able to hold LAX pretty soon.

Long call is basically voluntary starting January 1.
No one ever has to acknowledge a trip until three hours prior to report and that means you cannot fly that trip. You can choose to acknowledge more than 10 hours prior if you wish, but no one is required to do so. It's strictly voluntary.
Management cannot rewrite our contract by issuing memos. If they want to clarify or change the long call provisions contained in our contract then they must either negotiate with ALPA or dock somebody's paycheck and force a grievance.
Until then they will just have to cover their open time using short call reserves, white slips and green slips.

Question for one of the high earners in the group. What happens to the 415 retirement account if you hit the 51000 max? I am wondering if the company contributions stop. Seems like if you were going to max it out might be better to stop putting 401K money into it so you could take advantage of as much company money as possible? I am still below the threshold this year, but I don't want to leave any of their money on the table in the coming years with the funds going to 15% Jan 1st.
