You're the one that's off sailingfun. Georetg, myself and others have posted many times how wrong you are with this 2 flights per day nonsense. You ignore the posts and the facts, go silent for a while, then bring up the 2 flights per day nonsense again.

To those who haven't seen this Sailingfun movie before, he's wrong. Why he keeps stating this after knowing he's wrong, is another story.

I wouldn't be interested in the separate duty periods, rather just go home. But I have 3 trips this month that release at 1000 or earlier, I know it would be possible to cram the 1st day of another rotation into my legal FAR duty day. I guess the real crux of the matter is would the computers consider it 2 duty periods and require the rest or consider it 1 duty period. If 1 duty period it would then need to decide whether I would get the 5:15 or 10:30. If the opportunity presents itself I'll give it a try and see what happens.

Carl, last fall I offered you a large bet on if I was wrong or not. You declined to take the bet. Please tell us your numbers and where they are from. The numbers you posted before were the requirement to cure the problem with one year to go. Not the average over 4 years.
Here is what is pertinent and will be what the grievance is about. The contract required that the company award us 48.5% of the EASK. We are actually going to end up around 47% the shortfall will be 1.5%. There are several varibles on how many flights that might be since its a EASK. Length of the flight and size of the aircraft make big changes. To make you happy I will call the shortfall 1.5%. Do you dispute that number?

It will not be awarded unless you have the required break in duty time between rotations. You won't even show up on the trip coverage reports Skeds uses to award open time.

Sorry, you can't do it. You have to have a legal break after you finish your first rotation before you can begin a second.

Where in China?:confused:

We've been through this too many times to rehash and I'm sure nobody wants to see us go through this process again only to see you go silent, then resurface with this same 2 flight per day nonsense. If anyone is interested, they can revisit mine, FTB's, Georgtg's and others posted charts and tables. Minimize the job losses to Delta pilots all you wish sailingfun, it doesn't make it true. It never will.

Carl

Supposedly, multiple sources at least, Delta would like not to reduce the 757 fleet to the size previously mentioned. It might require additional aircraft not already here. Maybe they're wanting to staff those as well as just handle the ebb and flow of summer and ER Bs bailing to their first Captain positions. IDK.

One could at least hope that's true.

I just wish one of their Clients had been the Delta Pilots, you know, the guys who paid his salary for about the past 10 years...:rolleyes:

I'm pretty sure the A4A is one of his Clients now that our contracts are 'mature'.

Oh Wait! He IS a Delta Pilot!

Or... was.

I doubt we'll ever see him fly a Delta jet again.
