Ours on the ATL 320 just fell off the cliff in March. Ugh! All my trips are below 5 hours credit a day except for one, 3 of them include at least 1 5-leg day, and 3 of them include a 30+ hr layover. I'll be working PCS hard again in March.

I meant domestic flying. They also discussed a decline in both the A320 and MD 88 trips. It had nothing to do with 117. With deliveries sliding on the 717 and the decision not to hire last winter they are running out of time for copilots on those aircraft. As a consequence they have removed all quality of life parameters from trip construction on those AC and are using min credit only. They said it should improve as new hires come online later in the spring.

Reroute pay is full pay, no credit.

Slow on the uptake...I have 11:58 of Reroute Pay with a closed time card. This is added to my 76 ish that I currently have for 88 ish pay hours for the month - is that correct?

For the record, deliveries aren't sliding. We are on schedule and will take delivery of 4 a/c per month. We will have all 88 aircraft by mid 2015 v end of 2015. Rehabs at VQQ and IND are going well. Many of the early issues are resolved and they're pumping them out in about 45 days.

Check out the ER/B in NY and Atl. There are 7-8 open lines of time worth more than 70 hours. The plugs are line holders for march. Reserve is now being duked out by senior guys. Dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria!

Strange...according to purple drunk and a few others C2012 crushed QOL. Why would reserve now go senior?:rolleyes:

Thats how it worked for me last month. Had 15+ hours RR pay in addition to extra trip credit for staying out an extra day in Jan. That with the profit sharing made a very nice Valentines day gift for the bank account.

I am just posting what the company said. The 88 and 320 are flying more block hours then planned because of late 717 deliveries. Even if they are caught up now having to raise the ALV in the fall forces a lower ALV now and limits hours.
