We can never have less than a 10 hour layover--ever. I have had numerous layovers that were brutally reduced to 8 hours due to IROPS, and the 10 hour minimum is a game changer in a good way. "Legal to start, legal to finish" is history as well. Not every change has been improvement, but some have.

Before, we had unlimited amounts of actual block, so long as we were scheduled within 8 hours. Now, it's a hard limit of 9. Before, we had an actual max duty day of 16, now it's a scheduling limit of up to 14, extendable to 16 once between 30-hour rest periods and only with the Captain's concurrence. Before we had layovers as low as 8 hours, not they're not lower than 10.

The new 10 hour hard minimum layover is reasonable. The rules under part 121 were not.

Another amusing "there is my opinion, and then there is the wrong one" view. Just because you prefer 12-hour min layovers doesn't mean that anyone not sharing your opinion doesn't "value his health."

My record before 117 was 9:35 block time in one day... plus no more reduced rest. It's far from perfect but it certainly is better.
I of course did break a record and hit 33 hours in a 7 day period to cross over into the new year, but I didn't really notice it... all the days were pretty short and efficient.

These emotional menstrual outbursts of yours do not help your "ALPA at all costs" position.
No, this is yet another one of those "Bucking Bar making it up" moments after an apparent White Russian overdose.
On another note, thank you for posting DPA stuff on this thread. I'm so glad to see that it's OK for me to do that again!

It's a free intrawebz, however, so he can post whatever to his (or her) heart's content.

We'd be sitting darn pretty right now if we still had it in the PWA.

This is more of your ongoing problems with the English language Bar. Three things wrong in one sentence. First, DPA is not a union yet. Second, you or I don't know whether the sued John Doe is a Delta pilot. Third, nobody at DPA has ever said they wanted anyone fired.

The DPA claims it is a union in it's press release, which is believed to follow the language of the complaint. The DPA says it was formed as such and why wouldn't it be?
The DPA has stated this was done by Delta pilot(s) who supports ALPA.
DPA "Members" have called for the firing of the alleged perps.
DPA "Members" have stated in writing they plan to use John Doe subpoenas to gather documentation, which I guess would be the hard drives and, or, depositions from those of us who the DPA does not like.
Delta pilots have every right to be outraged. We've been sued! It is coercion prior to your vote in April (if your spokesman is telling the truth).
