I get your point, but it doesn't apply to re-route pay. Besides, if you want to complain about guys getting paid too many hours/month, 104:17 doesn't hold a candle to what a lot of "players" are able to generate.

Hasn't been determined yet. Strong forces are pulling both ways. The risk analysis has been complete though.
The FAA should certify the A350 training course in Toulouse about a month from now and then the first Delta guys will go through their training.
FWIW, just heard from a friend who is a 330 APD.

I don't think the other shoe has dropped regarding the west coast 717 operation though. They're gonna want to tie it into the eastern operation, and SLC is the only logical place (hub) within range of any east 717 cities, such as STL, ORD, MSP, MCI, BNA and so on... otherwise...

If they don't tie it in, then it's like two ecosystems evolving separately, and you could see the west coast 717's mutate into some horrible, surfer-speak-soul-patch-wearing-tofu-eating-free-love hippyfest, with ties optional and pilots with suntans. Not on my watch. No sir!!

Are you guys sure reroutes pay double?
Where are you seeing that in the contract?

If you were on a 10:30 2 day and were rerouted at company convenience into day 3 you would get 15:45 plus 10:30 reroute pay for total pay of 26:15

PWA Section 23.L.8

Now you've got me convinced.

I still don't get it though, how can they operate the 717s with all of those Narwhals trying to kill everyone? This is why I don't sleep at night.

Well, that. And this website. And the 1.56 ratio. And the missing thrust reverser lockout pin covers. And the little four propeller drone outside my window.
