I'll add to this - Air France is not ID90 anymore, they're ZED, with tickets issued electronically via the myidtravel link on travelnet, and DL employees get special lower-than-standard "JV Fares." You'll find departure taxes out of CDG are quite a bit more expensive than the ZED fare itself.
The one other thing I'll say about CDG is get there plenty early. I assume we're still using the AF check-in desks, and the queues last time I was there were quite long.

What's with this rumor about we have already acquired Virgin America and their pilots will be stapled to the bottom of our list? NYC 330 base on next AE? Any truth?

Where is this 2 hr early release from short call coming from? I've never seen that in the contract. Is this randomly given from scheduling? I wouldn't be too happy sitting short call while another possibly junior reserve (same days/groupings) is released.

Of course if it becomes an issue, as your concern suggests, then I am sure they can & will make sure nobody gets released.
I've only called them when it was kinda a big deal that I get released early (mother in hospital, catching the last flight of the day, etc ...)

So - say you go off short call at 11am. Since the call out is about two hours, anytime after 9am the report time for a trip should would be after 11am. So - there isn't any use for you after 9am. Therefore - scheduling would release you after 9am because they effectively couldn't use you. (They can't assign a report of say, 11:15 because then you aren't on SC anymore).

I don't think it's contractual. Well - not directly. I think it comes from the fact that any report time on SC has to be in your SC window.

Check the non-hub cities...CVG/PIT/PHL/ORD(winter). They operate less than daily, but the loads can be spotty and they don't have the last minute HK problem the hub cities have.
Choose wisely the morning of your flight, because you're dealing with AF to check in. To swap to a different flight you will most likely have to go back out to the main check in area, gate agent can't/won't do it.
Good news is that there are several inexpensive but nice hotels either attached to CDG or with a free shuttle.
