So it's at risk compensation! We agree on something!

Need more information to answer your question. Its a bit convoluted.
The answer is yes they can give you a 9:01 layover if it meets the rest requirements for all the surrounding flight duty periods and the contractual break in duty requirements. Keep in mind that deadhead only periods are not flight duty periods but deadhead segments occurring at the beginning or middle of the period are part of the FDP. When they are at the end of the FDP then they are not.

You do realize that if a reroute causes your next trip to "not work" because of 117 rest issues, then you are pay protected. That would normally be considered a good deal. Let them take your 30 hour break.
You might have recovery obligations though. It depends. We would need a lot more detail to give you the answer you are looking for I think.

I agree. If you needed the 30 hours rest in 168 hours to be legal to fly the 2nd trip, and they take your 30 hours away you can't fly the 2nd trip as scheduled. You will be pay protected. They may break up the 2nd trip into a segment you can fly. I think they can put you on a DH on the last leg that puts you over 168 hours.

Yes the directors technique of having no music or sound at the end and during the credits was very effective.

Here's where you and DALPA are so disingenuous: Yes, profit sharing is "at risk" compensation, but so is every other word of our PWA. Our hourly rates are "at risk" compensation. Our JV scope production balances are "at risk" job protections. Our furlough protections are "at risk" job protections. Our hearts continuing to beat is an "at risk" activity.

Singling out profit sharing and describing it as the exclusive "at risk" portion of our contract is being done for the specific purpose of lowering its value in the minds of pilots. If you and DALPA are successful at doing so, it will be easier for the MEC administration to call it a victory when they use a reduction in our profit sharing to fund hourly rate increases. Key to this strategy is the tactic of a constant drumbeat of devaluing profit sharing. Once again, here is how I answered your question of what we should call profit sharing in front if the NMB:

It's a powerful status quo item that gives us tremendous leverage...if we were represented by a labor union.

People actually stood up and clapped at the end when I saw it. It added even more emotion to the end of a great story.

Off the deep end and no point to his rhetoric.

My wife and I went the first night it played here in LA. At the end, it was completely quiet. Lots of people sniffling and wiping tears out if their eyes. Most dramatic ending to a movie I can remember.
