Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

No, I used 9 of 18 payback days I have and dropped 9 days for 63 hours, flew one 4 day for straight pay and have gotten two greenslips for 63+ (X2). I'm flying the second one starting tomorrow. :)

I'm bowing to you Professor Crane. Can I use hotel reward points to buy some payback days?

MD Says in his message RFP widebodies for growth. At least some. Is this true?

Yes, ALV sadly does not apply to swaps.

I have always heard on here that pickup limit does not apply to swap with the pot.

However, I did a liitle digging in the contract, and I don't think that this is still true. LOA#13 changed the contractual language in 23.H.5.h to now read: the swap will not cause a pilot to exceed, or further exceed his block hour limit.

Maybe the company is not complying with this, but I think that the language is now in the PWA, unless I am missing something.

I could be wrong but I don't think block hour limit is the same thing as max pickup.

Look at your block hour limit, it's around 300 hours. No possible to break that at straight pick up.

You are correct 88 Driver. Quick Version. The only limit is the white slip pick up limit to ALV + 15. Swap with the pot does not apply, green slips don't apply, and the icrew swap board does not apply. Again it is a white slip pick up limit. The rest of those things are not white slips.

Basically we can't fly a ton Jan-Nov then get December off because of the FAR annual block hour limit. I used to do that at a regional and it worked great.....can't do that at Delta due to this limit.
