I wonder if the company is artificially inflating the green slip response time sample size in an effort to compile data for upcoming grievances and/or readdressing 117 rules with the FAA.
"Guys aren't acknowledging normal assignments in a timely manner....but they have no problem acknowledging short notice green slips and flying the same trip with different rest rules."
"Guys aren't acknowledging normal assignments in a timely manner....but they have no problem acknowledging short notice green slips and flying the same trip with different rest rules."
Someone on their X day or day off is not on duty, & therefore must not have a required amount of rest before the FDP begins. So if the trip starts on a guys X day, they have no argument. And if it's starts on his reserve day, he can't accept it anyway. So they have no argument.
I'm thinking out loud here, so feel free to chime in.

But that wouldn't be a valid argument, right? Per the new regs a reserve guys rest assignment doesn't start until he acknowledges, & he must have 10 hours rest. That's not a choice.

If you read 23. S. 1. d and 23. S. 6. b I don't see how we are even required to accept anything on our first day after an x-day. I've got a noon SC tomorrow on my first day and the way I read stuff I have to check my schedule no later than 0200 so as to be able to ack the SC no later than 1 hour prior to when it starts. I read this to say we can't be legal for any SC period on our first day back unless we voluntarily accept it.
Just my understanding.

The PWA rules do not comply with current company policy? Who cares? The PWA is a legally binding contract between two parties - company policy is not. Or, maybe, your comment was meant to be TIC or something - sorry if I missed it.

I was bored and just reading the 2014 "Flight Plan" for the Company. One of the bullet points under Revenue struck me as odd (being that Seattle is not considered a hub in our contract).
Here it is: Continue to build brand awareness and strengthen Seattle as a domestic and international hub....

Next I like that they are looking to continue to build SEA as a hub. Maybe they can add a narrow body here so me and about 30+ others I know (A and B alike) that live here can finally drive to work instead of commute before we retire. Yes it's about us and would be nice
Or maybe that 138% increase of flying on the ER they have 5 months out of the year they can keep half of that here instead of say ATL?Sorry rant over, back to booking the jumpseat to get home to and from work

So, if we (per SD memo) have to acknowledge a long call to allow 10 hours of rest prior to report, am I completely free of any responsibility of long call 10 hours prior to a short call period?
