Any idea why the PCS runs are late (as in hours behind schedule?) I was under the impression the process was completely automated, so why would 117/weather issues ..... ah, I answered my own question. I'm guessing they're manually verifying all swaps/awards against 117.

FRMS is only for the 4 man 777 flights.
Attention 777 Pilots! FAR Part 117 Update – FRMS approved: The company applied for and received approval of an FRMS which results in an alternate method of compliance with the FARs for certain four-pilot 777 flying beginning in January. |

Hey guys, brief break in the 117 discussion.
I sent in my sick leave verification form all filled out and signed by my doc but my sick leave account still shows "unverified." Does it take awhile for them to process the forms? And, if not, who should I talk to? Thanks! Buzz |

Another PWA abrogation. It's been happening a lot lately. The run times are very clearly spelled out in the contract.
Should that be fixed? Yes. Is it an abrogation of the current PWA? No. Found PWA. It has been rewritten and it used to say what I said above, but now it states the run time will be No earlier than 0700E,1200E, 1700E, and 2200E http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/...ps25ec2e58.png |

Maybe the guys being assigned SC are doing what dash8widget said a few days ago and acknowledging the SC late. Then they are unusable for SC? Leverage generator.

The PWA says that you do not have to acknowledge a short call conversion until one hour prior to starting the short call period. Sooooo, if you follow the PWA and aknowledge one hour prior, you would not be able to start a trip until 9 hours after starting the SC period! But that's not really true either because: you can't even start the SC period until you have the required acknowledged rest, and again, you don't have to acknowledge an assignment to SC until an hour prior, which then makes you illegal to start the period as assigned, which means scheduling would have to change your SC start time, and you would not have to acknowledge said change until one hour to starting your new SC period, which puts you into a logic loop that could keep you from ever actually being on SC. :eek:

Lets say a pilot calls in sick for a 8 day rotation the has a bit of credit built in. The last day shows 20 hours of credit on time card. If the pilot picks up a 20 hour, 4 day trip that leaves the last day of the sick call, would 20 hours go to repay the sick bank, or just the 5:15 from the first day of the 4 day?

What does the current PWA say with regards to SC acknowledgement? I'm familiar with the 3 hours regarding a LC trip assignment, but never knew there was one for short call too.
Ralphie, S/C acknowledgement is basically the same as long call acknowledgment because you are on long call first and then assigned short call. Once on short call here is the verbiage from the contract" 13 9. A short call pilot: 14 a. will remain on short call for a period that: 15 1) is designated by Crew Scheduling, and 16 2) does not exceed: 17 a) 12 hours in domestic categories, or 18 b) 24 hours in international categories. 19 Note: An international category pilot who has been on short call for 12 hours will 20 not be assigned a domestic rotation with a scheduled report earlier than nine hours 21 after notification. 22 b. must be promptly available for contact by Crew Scheduling during his short call 23 period until the earlier of: 24 1) the end of the short call period, or 25 2) his departure to report for an awarded/assigned rotation. 26 Exception: A pilot will not be required to be available for contact during the first two 27 hours of his short call period as follows: 28 a) At the time the pilot is notified of his conversion to short call, the pilot will 29 advise Crew Scheduling that he will be: 30 i. traveling to his base, and 31 ii. unavailable for contact during the first two hours of the short call. 32 b) The pilot must be able to report for a rotation with a report as early as two hours 33 after the start of the short call period. 34 c) When the pilot arrives at his base, he assumes responsibility for acknowledging 35 any rotation placed on his line by checking his schedule via DBMS or 36 contacting Crew Scheduling. 37 d) When the pilot checks his schedule, his line may contain a rotation with a report 38 as early as two hours from the start of the short call period. To the best of my knowledge "promptly available" basically means you have around two hours to report. Note: I don't think the 2 hour limit is actually written in the contract - it might be written in "When Scheduling Calls" or possibly "When Steve Dickson Commands" I am not really sure. :) Scoop |
