Any chance any ER guys out there have the study guide web addresses for the ER study guides?


Many thanks!

If you find an answer, you'll have uncovered the secret of the ages, a riddle than has plagued Deltoids since the dawn of time.

The answer is contained in the "Big Picture" which they reveal when you retire. :D

Where have you heard this rumor? I've also heard a rumor that DALPA will file a grievance in May if there is no resolution. The only place I've seen these rumors is on the forum, posted by hard-core ALPA supporters.

Why can't DALPA communicate its intent to us officially, if any of these rumors are, in fact, true? This whole fiasco has been entirely non-transparent.

p.s. "feel[ing]" the matter is actionable" and actually taking action are not the same.

I've been sitting voluntary reserve for the last couple of months. In my experience, the Company has done nothing to violate the contract. The trips I have been assigned have been assigned while I am on short call. They put me on rest after the assignment to make me legal. It's crickets while I am on long call.

While SD may have issued an obnoxious memo, he doesn't seem to be following it up with action. I think most of the violations took place in the first month of 117.

Understand, I am waiting for them to violate my contract. They haven't. If they want to give me a day off, cover the trip with a green slip and call me in for a carpet dance, so be it. I'm happy to take one for the team. Until they do it, there is nothing for me to grieve.



Did you acknowledge your short call one hour out? That is your right in the contract.


I get a short call when I come off of an X day. This short call always has started at 1200 or latter. I have to acknowledge by 0200, I like sleep so I acknowledge when assigned the short call.

It is my understanding once my short call starts I have to be readily available. If I am given another short call the following day I acknowledge within 2 hours of the assignment.

The only trips I have been given are when I am sitting short call. I will get a call towards the end of my short call putting me on rest for a trip the following day. This is not a robo call. Since I am talking to Sched's I have acknowledged.

I do not see where the contract is being broken, but I am not the smartest guy in the world.

I've heard there's a 737 study guide somewhere. Anyone know where to look (I'm currently on Airbus). Thanks.

At which point, you can't give to anyone else, because you don't know who you are anymore, and it gets wasted. This is why I encourage Captains to retire young, so they can remember everything, and regale their spouses with that information.

Why would an Airbus pilot want to study 737 stuff? Just to feel superior?
