How bizarre. That is the strangest thing I ever read on APC.

Contract question:

If you have a trip (4 day in this case) on your monthly bid award that starts on the same day as your last Shadow day do you get credit for just that day or the entire trip?

My Sep schedule had a 4-day starting on the last shadow day. The trip has been removed from my schedule, and from what I can tell I'm only being credited on my Sep time card for the first day of that dropped rotation. What was showing on my line for the Sep Bid Award of an 80 hr line now shows as a 66 hr line on the iCrew time card. :eek: There aren't a lot of options for picking up a trip on the days that were removed from my original schedule either.

Calling ALPA tomorrow, but would appreciate an informed opinion in the meantime.

(I read the PWA and I didn't see this scenario covered. From what I read it would seem to me the entire dropped trip should be credited, but that could be interpreted differently IMO.)

Another question- if we convert to a new pay rate, does that kick in on the advance paycheck at the end of the previous month, or on the 15th check in the month of conversion?

Alan said, if I didn't like what DALPA is doing I should vote out the reps.

My opinion on the hacking stuff: Both ALPA and the DPA are making themselves look awful. Freaking sick of it.

He likely didn't realize that you aren't a DL pilot. You know, it being a DL thread and all. It would have been appropriate to remind him of that fact on your part.

+1.....................

Next you'll tell us the C12 sales job was DALPA providing "objective facts from which we can draw our own conclusions."

A swing and a miss, Alan.

I could be wrong, but I seem to remember that I was responding to a post in which you said that you distrusted ALPA. My apologies if I misunderstood that you were actually referring to my reps and those of my fellow Delta pilots. You not being one of their constituents, and I say this with all due respect, have no right to expect their faithful representation.

I recently asked ALPA and they stated the whole trip would be dropped and credited for any part of it touching the shadow. Please let me know if you find out the same!
