On the Super Bowl thing, like most big games it will probably come down to;

1. Turnovers
2. Penalties

Just ask Sherman or Crabtree about that!

And if you are Alabama;

3. Last second field goal attempts.

Saban standard time = set your watch back 1 second.

Charity? Not hardly. I'm not sure how you got that. I am saying they do their job and, based on the money they rightfully put back in our pockets, they do it well. I agree that we pay for that service.

Contract Question. I couldn't definitively find it in the contract. Does the co. have to get you a hotel for a domicile layover? I didn't think so but they did get me one the other night in DTW during the IROPS. Guy in the lounge last night swears its been added to our contract.

Thanks,

Agreed. It's well worth the dues money whatever they spend on the pros there. I've always gotten accurate and as prompt as possible responses.


Speaking of- what is the min sit time for us to be required to be given a hotel? I got rerouted into a 4:55 one yesterday (while descending through 11,000 feet back into mecca... talk about a distraction- probably should ASAP that one). I didn't particularly mind it since my parents were passing through trying to get home and it was nice getting to spend time with them.

Section 5 E.1.d looks like it would cover both of these. Timbo is right on the 5 hours.

1. The Company will provide adequate and comfortable single occupancy lodging for a pilot who is:
.......
d. at a station (at or away from base) at which the pilot is scheduled for block-in to block-out time of more than five hours (upon the pilot’s request).

You don't get a hotel if you are a RES and you end up getting a domicile layover during a rotation....just REG pilots get those.

I think the reg says 5 hours but here's my story. Sign in at 0030 for a GDL turn. No CA. Do multiple preflights and board/unboard jet twice anticipating a CA show. Finally, at 6.:00 AM I call crew tracking, tell them out out on my feet and need to crash for few hours. They hook me up with the airport Hilton where I get three hours or so of sleep and an ironed uni. Huge relief!

There is no such thing as a domicle layover for a reserve. They have to release you from the trip.
