Is it possible Delta is holding fleet steady (slow 757 retirements) and increasing staffing to help offset the upcoming pilot shortage they continue to preach? That way they could park aircraft as needed to remain staffed properly not overloading the training pipeline.

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!

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.
