GS question

I'm going from holding a line this month to bidding reserve next month. If I get a GS that spills into next bid, how is that paid? I have the first 5 days off next month, and the last 4 off this month.

Your stretch of 5 X-days will be moved so as to begin nine or 13 hours after the end of your GS trip.

Does anyone know if DALPA has been successful in getting pay restored for these P/Ds?

If not, have grievances been filed?

I'm wondering the same thing. Has anyone "tested the waters" so to speak?

Guys,

I found this in the contract but are the procedures spelled out anywhere else in a more user friendly format?

Thanks

According to the Dickson version of the contract there is no longer a last non-fly day schedule check at all. You just go on long call at midnight.
If they have given you a trip for that first day then you can avoid a midnight phone call by checking your schedule before you hit the rack. Otherwise they are going to call you just after midnight.

I too would be interested to hear from DALPA on where we stand with this situation. Is there a grievance? Are guys getting their pay docked and DALPA just saying "Tough luck. Hang tight while we're negotiating"?
What's going on?
