Yes except, in a normal full month on reserve, reserve guarantee cannot be less than 72 or more than 80 hours.

Reserve question that I can't find in PWA. I have been told that as a reserve, once you hit ALV, you're done for the month (unless you want to fly more). I can't find anything in PWA that supports it, but I suck at reading it. Any truth or am I dreaming?

Once you hit the reserve guarantee you are done. It was reduced from ALV in the last contract.

My bad, posting on my phone in the van. Thanks IAH, and to Rocky for pointing out my error.

23.S.2.d.

A reserve pilot will not be:

d. required to remain on call after his accumulated credit equals or exceeds his reserve guarantee.

Another thing to watch, your reserve guarantee can be specific to you, based upon training, vacation, P/D's etc....

I usually go to my time card, check my "Res Guar" column. ... when that number is 0
... your done.

I need a quick response please. How do I get a spouse from CDG to Novotel hotel? Thought it was RER B train to ???? Jevel stop with maybe a transfer at St Michel? Friend is going out tonight.

Thanks

Found it in a previous (14 month old) post. Just hope its still correct! RER B to St Michel/Notre Dame, then transfer to RER C (on the Eiffel tower Platform) to any of 3 or 4 "destinations"(don't have them handy right now), get off at Jevel then walk 2 blocks up the Seine.

Just as a mention, tactical use of a P/D at the right time can be a smart move depending on how close you are to your reserve guarantee.

Delta to increase service to Europe summer 2015

Delta announced Monday it will be operating 28 additional flights next summer to airports across Europe.

The majority of the flights will originate from New York-JFK to popular destinations, including Athens, Greece, which will see a rise in frequency from seven flights a week this year to 11 in 2015. Other destinations also include Istanbul; Prague; Nice, France; and Shannon, Ireland. Seasonal services will also operate from Atlanta to Barcelona, Spain; and Milan; among others.

Elsewhere, following the introduction of year-round services between JFK and Zurich, there will be complementary summer operations to the Swiss City from Atlanta starting June 17, 2015, plus flights to Dublin from Atlanta, running alongside the annual service from JFK.

“We saw incredible appetite for travel between the U.S. and Europe this summer,” said Perry Cantarutti, S.V.P.–Europe, the Middle East and Africa. “Next year promises to be a very busy year for the teams in EMEA, New York and Atlanta, but I have every confidence in the operation as we grow our network across the trans-Atlantic.”

Buck, does that appear to be growth or just re-alignment of flying from other markets?
Additionally, is this growth on Delta Metal or on codeshare partners (VS)?
I ask because their seems to be those on here who are more in the know and seem to track it more closely.

Not trying to be a pessimist here, but the devil is in the details. The article does make it seem as though this is all growth on actual the Delta side.

I think we just have to take Delta Press Releases at face value. Our Company is quick to react to market conditions. While it appears to be this will be on Delta metal using the word "operating" Delta can (and does) change it's plans.

Everything in this press release is on Delta aircraft. I suspect this is the reason they bumped the hiring the last few months and are racing to bump staffing on the 767. They also moved one of the A330 IGW's from next fall delivery to this spring.
