Hey guys, I picked up a WS showed up and they keep slipping the departure time. It was a one leg out and next day back worth 10.5. what is my obligation to sit here in the crew room? Also when they can't get me back the next day within 4 hours of scheduled arrival what are my options?
If they cancel the trip what do I get paid? I've been here 5 hours now... hopefully it's not just assignment pay.

If this is the first leg of your trip you have to be airborne with six hours of report. If not airborne you are free to go home with the trip guarantee and no other obligation. I'm looking for the reference for you.

Hockey, what stinks about that is that my WS preferences were for a trip to return by 1400. Now they COULD deadhead me home on time but I'm sure they will use me up till midnight and I will miss all my son's game.

Dirty,
Look at 23.K.c-d. From what I can tell based on your info 23.k.c applies as long as you contact CS after six hours from report. You should be free to go after the six hours as long as they did not schedule before 5:59. That's how I interpret the language. Good luck

That would be 23k and that would be if his rotation got cancelled. Reading his post it just looks like the departure time gets pushed back not cancelled.

Jayhawk,
Here is to wishing you a speedy and painless recovery.
Regarding the DPMA questionaire and paper work, it is truly a big PITA. I hate to think what would happen if you were truly disabled and struggling for your life versus a non life threatening albeit disabling injury.
As a user of both the DPMA and a former previous airline's disability program, one was a "one call and it did it all". In other words you made a call to central admin, told them you were going to be long term sick and they would ask you to call when ready to return. Your paycheck came on the same dates as usual, your income stayed the same and you never went "off payroll". I may be wrong.. but I think you continued to build sick leave (can't be sure) while out.
The whole object of either program is to allow a safety net to prevent financial distress if such an injury or illness would prevent you from exercising the privileges of your ATP.
I am glad we have DPMA but I wish it was a little more user friendly. Sorry, but it looks like you need to fill out the paper work!
Get well, stay warm,
OC

Also spoke with ALPA (contracts and insurance extensions) and both have been very helpful. I run out of sick leave in 2 weeks so will find out how it all works in short order.
ALPA med is also assisting and is fully engaged on getting the FAA paperwork done.

DPMA is just one easy page--just filled it out over the weekend. Temporary Disability (TD) is about 10-13 pages and much more painful. Took me about 2 hours to sort through and make sense of it all. Spoke with both over the phone last week and everyone was very helpful. I don't plan on having the doctor send it in--I will collect after he's done and send it myself to ensure it gets done.
