Has anyone flown a 737 with the new WXR 2100 ThreatTrack radar package? It would have to be a newly delivered -900 at this point, I think.

So when is that widebody order coming out?? I saw that Virgin 787 in the ATL .... What's up with that? Used to be our flight :(

Last I heard was a few days after the BOD meeting they were going to make the announcement.

A new AE should be out this week, too, if the past pattern holds up.

Was contacted by the CPO and asked when did I receive the notice and why did I not bid around it? After being scolded on the topic, I informed him of the post mark and reception period...crawfishing ensued and was told that they would "consider it"...when contacting them the next week in regard to whether or not I was going to be covered, I was told that two of my four day trip was PD'd and that they were not going to pay me. When I asked about being covered if chosen for jury duty, I was told that I WOULD be covered due to it being a situation out of my control. I spoke with DALPA folks on the phone and was told that this was a NEW part of the contract.

The only major change that I see to jury duty leave is that Delta may now pre-post it if you're notified in time for them to do so. The requirement to notify them immediately upon receipt of your summons has not changed.

This is the old language (pre-C2012):

A pilot will immediately notify his Base Chief Pilot upon receipt of a summons or subpoena. A pilot who does not so notify his Base Chief Pilot will not be paid during his absence.

This is the new language (C2012):

Upon receipt of a summons or subpoena for legal duty, a pilot will immediately notify the Chief Pilot Support Center, and will provide a copy of the summons or subpoena.

A pilot who does not immediately notify the Chief Pilot Support Center under Section 13 E. 1. will be placed on unpaid legal duty leave.

It looks to me as though little has changed with respect to the notification requirement, other than the fact that we used to notify the CPO and now we notify the CPSC. It sounds like a foul to me that the CPSC said "no hurry" on the summons itself and now you're not being paid.

And it's totally BS that your CP would have "scolded" you for not bidding around jury duty.

It is a website and not a native app. You can go there directly (no double login) here:

On the iPhone you can save the link to your home screen, so you can get right into icrew with 1 button. iOS let me save the login/password too so I don't have to enter it every time. No clue about android but there is probably something similar.

How did you save the login and password in iOS?

It's been a while since I was on reserve.

One my first "on call" day, the earliest I can fly is 10:00 am if they notify me by 1500 the day before.

I assume this is not the case for a "short call" on the first day of availability. Am I correct they can assign it for early in the AM on the first day as long as they do it before 1500?

Thanks

You can be assigned 10:00 SC or report time if they put it on your schedule before 15:00 the day prior. They will NOT call you if you don't acknowledge either, tried that one. You are expected to check at some point. You can YS or GS for something earlier if you desire.

Not true. You can be assigned a rotation that reports as early as 1000, so long as it's on your schedule by 1500 the day before.

AND...you might be able to call the courthouse right away, and get your duty moved to a more convenient date, to say, when you are flying a 4 day p.o.s! :D
