If I have two X Days and I want to move one I can't because the computer doesn't think we have at least 30 hours off.

One X day = 24 hours

Plus (+)

The 12 hours from the first day of work that they can't call me for.

= A minimum of 36 hours.

What am I not getting?

To me, it is rediculous that we are more restricted than PBS when we try to move X days. I should be able to do the same things to my schedule that PBS could have awarded in the first place. PBS can put all 17 or 18 days in a row if it wants to...

You are on long call for those 12 hours. That is duty.

Of course, under the document we all thought was a contract, you could have checked your schedule the last non-fly day any time after 1500.
Which brings me back to my greatest source of recent irritation. (I need some Gold Bond I guess) --> DALPA is allowing the pilot group to think that Steve Dickson's memo is the new contract.
Our union is failing in its most fundamental duty. To defend our contract. This situation has gone on way too long. The MEC should be embarrassed and ashamed. Either start raising hell and file a grievance or just make it official --> management can re-write our contract any time they want and DALPA will do nothing about it.

edit: oops. I see sailingfun already answered the 30 hour rest question.

heard that too... RA wants them to re-engine the 330.

-Wants to untangle MORE from Alaska
-Shrinking 320 lav and galley for more seats
-Adding screens to the seats in 319 for long thin routes (south america I guess?)
-350/787 RFP

-AA could turn out to be a threat in the future, UAL spending is WAY high compared to profits, beating SWA out of ATL and not a threat.

just regurgitating what I heard.

I got a denial reason of "minimum base layover" for 11 hours ish... I searched the contract, PCS handbook, and PBS gouge for that phrase and got nothing.

I found in PWA 12G (hours of service) this:
10. For purposes of line construction only, a pilot will be scheduled for a break-in-duty at
4 base of at least:
5 a. 11 hours following a duty period that does not include an ocean crossing.
6 b. 18 hours following a duty period that includes an ocean crossing (subject to
7 Section 23 M. 8.).

Which makes me think 11 hours from release to report should be good--but I got denied a WS with 11.12. Is there some new buffer applied now, and if so what?
Can anyone give me the required time, and point me to the source in our documents? Thanks!
