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

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.

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.

I see in the latest update from ALPA-DAL that hiring will continue at 85 per month for the foreseeable future.

Block Hour Limit is the limit that keeps us from going over the FAR block hour limit on an annual basis. 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.

The problem with that is say you have a really crappy 3 day and an easy as pie 4 day is in the pot. If swaps are subject to the limit then you can't swap that crappy trip for an easy one if you have a limit. I know some guys swap to higher time trips for more pay, but I like the fact the limit doesn't apply so I can swap a trip for reasons other than money. Having that limit apply to swaps will make it harder for you to improve your schedule by swapping trips.
