Exception: Report for flights to/from Hawaii one hour prior to scheduled departure time. • A regular pilot reporting in such a manner must notify Crew Scheduling of his intention to deviate during the 24 hours immediately preceding the report time for the originally scheduled deadhead segment. • A reserve pilot must receive permission from Crew Scheduling to deviate at the beginning of a rotation. • Positive Space Transportation (Section 8.E.8): A pilot who utilizes an off-rotation deadhead to travel from his base, or from a domestic airport or an airport in the Hawaiian Islands (other than his base) in the vicinity of his permanent residence, at the beginning of a rotation will be provided positive space on-line transportation if: a. Company Business travel can be booked in TravelNet without overbooking, b. the routing does not pass through the pilot’s base, c. the routing does not exceed the number of deadhead segments originally scheduled, d. the routing is scheduled to arrive at a reasonable time before his required report under Section 8.E.5, and e. the routing provides for a subsequent flight that is scheduled to arrive at a reasonable time before his required report under Section 8.E.5 if the pilot’s originally scheduled routing provided for such a subsequent flight. Note one: A pilot who utilizes an off-rotation deadhead under Section 8.E.8 may attempt his booking at any time within 14 days of the report of his rotation. Note two: A pilot who utilizes an off-rotation deadhead at the beginning of a rotation that does not satisfy the requirements of Section 8.E.8 will be responsible for his transportation. Note three: A pilot who is provided a positive space reservation for an offrotation deadhead under Section 8.E. 8. will make every effort to cancel such reservation in TravelNet if the pilot no longer requires or intends to use the reservation. |

I think we agree on that for the most part.

I probably need to call scheduling on this one, but I'd like to at least think I know the answer before I ask the question.
I finish IOE on the 19th of December. My reserve obligation ends on 20 December. I have a golden day on 21 December. Is it possible to be assigned a trip on 20 December? My logic: Long call starts at 12:01 on 20 December. If I am assigned short call the earliest they can do it is 10am, plus 2 hours to get to airport which means noon. Since the following day is a golden day, I am released at noon. Is my logic sound? Just trying to figure out if I need to commute to my crash pad in NYC or if I can safely chill out at the house with no legal reserve obligation. I see you already have received some good advice above. I will only add that unless you are specifically told that you are released by scheduling and have no obligation I would commute in. If by some chance you were given a trip and happened to miss your very first trip after IOE you would be instantly infamous - not something you want to achieve as a new hire. Remember, your whole probationary period is a time for an "abundance of caution" and you should find yourself being extra conservative in all such matters as discussed above. Welcome aboard! :) Scoop |

Book it in Coach only under Company Business in Travelnet.

Unless it is a potential FAR violation-type matter, best to lay low. |

I decided I'd rather look like a dumb*ss than not get my item back. I appear to have left an e-reader on my DH flight into ATL yesterday. I've already filled out the standard lost and found document online, is there a more direct way I can try and contact the company to see if the item was returned? The e-reader was left on a plane that arrive in ATL and I'm overnighting in ATL tonight, so if there is an airport pickup and/or phone number that would be awesome. Thanks!

Does anyone else think its lame that domestically we only get meals above a 5:30 Block? Showing up at the gate 1 hour prior on a 4-5 hour block can often lead to 6-7 hours without a meal.
Here we are as a company making a great profit - partially due to the sacrifices and concessions made by this Pilot group. Obviously we expect a restoration in regards to pay but what about some simple QOL items like a hot meal if they are being served to Business class? I believe our MEC Chairman said something about "The best Contract." Well American guys get meals and I believe they kept their meals even through the BK. I think it is quite reasonable to expect a meal if it is already being provided for the business class passengers. Hell they are already loading 12-24 meals why not just load 2 more. I realize that some Pilots do not like the crew meals and would prefer to bring/purchase food and that is fine but we should have the option of a hot meal if one is already being served to our passengers. Scoop I don't think the airline is going to be concerned. Look at the FAs. As much as some hoard food and carry seven bags there are those who don't and they can't get off the plane to save their lives. Wish there was cheaper and better prepared grab and go options. The current ones are not good and cost more than a meal at a restaurant with drinks and a tip. |

There is a Delta lost and found office in the ATL baggage claim area. I don't know if it is staffed at all hours. If it has your name or employee # on it be sure to check the ATL CPO, they have a lost and found as well.
