If there was a trip in open time that begins the same day, would day 1 of the 2nd trip just add to the block time of that 1st trip, or would I get the 5:15 guarantee for the only leg of the 1st trip, then a minimum of another 5:15 for day 1 of the follow-on trip? IE, can I snag a 10:30 day?

Let me throw out a contrarian view. You can do it if you have a legal break like F16dude says, but also I think you could do it as long as you count it as one duty period and its FAR legal. Look at 12.G.2 note 3. And I also think you would get 10:30. The 5:15 ADG is per day of your rotation. Two rotations, two ADGs. Section 12.J. |

When we stopped flying to Cairo and Amman in NYC a few years back, those two daily flights x 2 FO's per flight changed the bidding dynamic as if I had slid back 40 numbers in category over night.
120 segments less per month...and I figure the top 40 FO's flew 3 of those per month. It made a huge difference for the A's and B's in that category. But I also get that system wide, it's not too big of a deal but we need to enforce the contract. From Junior wide body Captain on down, it has had an effect. |

I'm wondering if DL can outright abandon a market altogether, give it to AF/KLM/AZ to fly, not directly from the US but from one of their hubs, and those ESK's no longer count against the JV, only the shorter US-CDG/AMS ESK's would still count, with them getting over 50% anyway, and the remainder being 100% on their metal not even counting as an ESK? If so, maybe we should limit them to NYC/BOS, we split those routes, and then we do 100% of everything else and call it even. :/ |
As a newhire on the ER, could you guys expand on what we heard so many times in indoc that they're bulking up on staffing for summer ER flying? Does that mean more cities, more frequency to existing cities, charters, military...? I understand there was an ER pulldown a few years ago, but it seems like they're building it back up (see latest AE). Is it only for the summer? Thanks!

Looking at booking a last minute company business PS seat but only 1 first class seat is available (no Y). Is this allowed. RTB from CQ.
Never mind, TravelNet won't even entertain the idea. |

Those flights had a big effect on all the ER pilots in NY. The transfer of ATH to the 330 and TLV to the 747 had a big impact also. On 1 May the IST flight goes to the 330. That will hurt all summer. The Middle East flights however I dont think are part of the JV formula. The company shortfall is in EASK so the length of the flt factors into the shortage. It might be that one over 12 flight would have brought them into compliance. A shorter route to the UK might require two flts.

The second issue is that both last summer and this summer marketing has made last minute changes adding additional flying. The block hours will see a big drop in the fall. This happens every year. |

You are missing the point SF. You are acting like 2 flights to Europe a day doesn't matter. I say it depends on your perspective.
