I don't see why you can not do this if a GS is a proffer - you have the option of saying "No" if you are not rested.
I agree that an "Assignment" with less than 10 hours is a thing of the past. Scoop |

Timbo, Scambo and all ATL 777 pilots are already on the invite list. FTB, 80, Newk,Carl, Alpha, Sailing, Alan,Jughead,Bar,T,Jesse, et al. please consider yourselves invited. We are sending out a save the date around the 20th of Aug and then invites early Sept so people can bid around it. This will be RSVP due to the cost involved but we're planning on last minute arrivals. This party is with significant others and even RA is on the list so please don't be shy or worry that you won't know anyone. I have enjoyed all the conversations on the Latest and Greatest and figure this would be a great excuse to get together as many APCer's as possible. If you are interested please pm me your contact info and I will add you to my list. The retiree's involved are; Ron Norris, Paul Faulkner, Marc Lugash, Gene Robinson, Warren Zatazalo and myself Ross Campbell. There are 3 others that are considering joining as of this time but not yet committed. |

That would be "The Table". Thanks Newk
You guys have treated me extremely well and taught me so much over the many years. You've been like big brothers to me. It has been one of the highlights of my career to share the cockpit and layovers with you and them, I would love it if we could keep flying together forever but as they say, all good things must come to an end. I only hope that I can maintain the high standards of being both fun to fly with and being very competent on the flight deck, that you and they have established. BTW, there won't be any photos taken at this party...right? :eek: (unless of course we can get one of RA dancing on the table, wearing a skirt!) :D |
Congrats on the retirements. Hope the party is police blotter epic.

Do you really think that the Constitution gives you the right to make disparaging remarks about the entity that provides your paycheck?!?
After having a pension "legally" stolen and 42% of one's "provided" compensation taken, I'm a little less inclined to see them as a benevolent benefactor... potato, tomato. I know, I should just be quiet and color... At least our senior managers are being handsomely rewarded... and yes, I do think that is germane. Have a great Delta Day! |

If you are assigned a Long Call day, is it possible to be awarded a G/S short call award? If so, how/what does it pay? Thanks.
To sum it up, you can get a GS as LC pilot if scheduling gives you a trip that signs in greater than 10:01 from the time of contact up to 11:59 from the time of contact. Make sure you also look at 23.U.1.B Note two: "A reserve pilot awarded a GS rotation in which all duty periods of the rotation are scheduled to operate on on-call days may request that one X-day that coincides with a day on which the pilot does not have a duty period within the GS rotation be moved to the first day of the GS rotation." |

Anyone else hear there may be an announcement this Friday of a Hawaiian merger?
Anymore hurricanes and earthquakes and Hawa'ii will be merging with Japan... |

^^^^This - pilots are accepting GS's with less than 10 hours of notice all the time. Being on LC changes nothing in this case.

Yes, but in very limited circumstances. The report has to be within 12 hours (otherwise it would just be a normal LC trip assignment), but greater than 10 hours from notification. That way you would have your 10 hours of "rest" prior to report.
