iceman,
The domestic 767 category in LA is combining with the ER category and probably will be completely ER by about Feb. next year.
Scoop,
I don't mind flying some domestic trips. Looking at the open time for November, it looks like we lost bunch of Hawaii flying to CVG and ATL. Here's a question. If you are in an ER category but flying a "domestic" trip, do you still sit 24 hour short call? Inquiring minds and all......

Denny,
Thats a great question. I asked a bunch of guys and the answers that I got basically say that the Whitlow rule applies to domestic - no 24 hour shortcall. So I heard guys say they have been called by scheduling halfway into a 24 hour shortcall and put on rest so they could do the whole thing over again tomorrow - this doesn't sound right but who knows? What I am unsure of is how do they break up the domestic and the international reserves? Or are the guys all just lumped togetther? Anybody from CVG have any insight into this?

As far as cutting SC short just to put you on rest and then back on SC is perfectly legal and happened to me on more than one occasion when I was on the ER. The LA and CVG categories are offically ER so I'm guessing that scheduling puts everyone on 24 hour SC to start then makes adjustments as they see fit. This whole business needs to be addressed in the next contract.

I know you can only be put on SC 6 days a month but for any one who has been on reserve, do you actually do 6 days or is it usually less than that?
Im on the MD88. Of the few times I've sat reserve, I never sat more than 4 shortcalls and I only did that once. I've never sat a full 6.

On the MD88 in SLC I am on SC much more often than I was when on the 800 in LAX.
I have had the max of 6 a few times...

6 last month with a < 00:50 call out at rush hour on a Friday morning for me.
SC was cake on the 767. Like most things the level of craptastication is inversely proportional to the Max Ramp Weight of the jet.
