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.

-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.

As the universe is still here, Mary has scientifically proven that black holes (even small ones) do not exist.
This just became much bigger than one missing airplane.

Can someone point me to what the Minimum Base Layover amount is? I think that's what it's called-- I'm looking for the minimum amount of time between end of one trip and start of another (release to report), for both the initial PBS bidding and for the PCS.
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!

From: No longer MEM or 9, but still a guy.
Is it really "gaming the system" or just using seniority to shape your schedule to fit the flying that you prefer to do? Keep in mind that 1. Move reserve day off requests are processed in seniority order, and 2. coverage must be adaquate on the day you want to move it to.

Heck I like that PBS can schedule me for a single day on call; essentially gave me an extra day off last month. I do hate that PBS can do things we cannot.

Mary the expert states that it can't be a black hole, since "even a small black hole would swallow up our whole universe"
As the universe is still here, Mary has scientifically proven that black holes (even small ones) do not exist.
