I meant Tel Aviv. I'm just wondering what happens if we haven't restarted that route weeks or months (or more) from now, but everyone else has especially our "partners" AF/KLM. If we pull pull it down and they just xfer the pax through CDG, does that count as ESK's?

AF/KLM just like AS can fly where ever and whatever they want. Of course we can't control it. What we can control is what flying can be included in our agreements with them. They add 2 flights above the cap, we force 2 flights to cancel the DL code share.

The rest has been answered I think. But for the bolded, if the release time is after 2 or 3 PM, you are owed a partial payback day. The time that day ends becomes your new "artificial midnight" and the earliest you can get anything on that day is 10 (or 12, depending) hours after that time. If there is nowhere to put the partial, it becomes a full payback day in your bank.

The Hotline is written by the Council 44 reps and normally sent out by them on Sunday, on their own time, or while on a layover, with no pay. Most work done by most reps and volunteers is done without compensation.

The difference is that sending an email from home takes a click and could, in some eyes, be considered work. Are there similar work rules of a min day of 5:15 with regard to ALPA work? I would hope not, but since I've read reports that a DALPA member was being paid for "communications" work at home (initials BH I believe) I'm curious if the same could be said for the individual who shoots an email out on a Sunday before sitting back to watch the games that day. Cynical? Maybe, and most likely there is nothing like this taking place. I'm curious is all. Forming an email on a Saturday and getting paid for it, and then sending it out on Sunday to double up on the pay....well, let's say it wouldn't be right IMO. But if there's a DALPA product that has all the information as to who gets paid and for what on the site I'll go look there for my answers. Not holding my breath.

Thank you.....

Isn't it seat kilometers instead of flights? If they added 2 380s, DAL would have to add 4 767s or they would have to reduce the equivalent number of seat miles from the code share. At least that is the way I understood all this.

The BH "work from home" rumor was dispelled in open session at the recall meeting.

The treasurer and the MC were both asked and it confirmed that there was an idea at a meeting for some work to be done without flying to ATL and paying for hotel/meals... The treasurer and MC BOTH said not a chance, it never even made it to a formal proposal, it was an idea put out at a staff meeting..... nobody got paid to work from home, nor would that ever get approved.

It's time to start paying reps for their time. I would rather my rep make the $400K than Moak, as I can actually see direct results with my reps.

You're correct. That is why we are doing close to 55% of the Atlantic flights but the EASK is only 46%.
