Wife wants to go to Mall of America. Any crew deals at the Crowne MOA that we use? Any other MSP recommendations for those of us who do not consider a Mall worthy of a non-rev flight. :eek:
Thanks Scoop UA |

Hey Scoop,
You know the Rad Blu is a good setup! You and I had good beers here a few weeks back plus its close to all the good eats, etc. I am writing from here as we speak and have another night here tomorrow. You can take the trolley to the Mall from downtown, I think its fairly cheap transit. |

I was told as a new hire that it is a willful disregard of the contract to give up a DH seat. We negotiated the seat, the company expects us to sit in the seat, and don't go around violating the contract just to help out the company.
Now, how we apply the contract seems to be an individual thing. Some take a more literal stance than others. You want to give up or concede some part of it, fine. But then, do you really have any ground to complain when another individual decides to do the same, but with another area? Besides, you may be wanting to help out fellow employees, but you are throwing under the bus all the other pilots who refuse to participate in a contract violation. |

Check the military leave handbook located under admin and leaves of absence on Deltanet-- a lot of good info in there and it spells out benefits retained based on number of days on Mil Leave. Short answer is that you are still in CASS while on mil leave at Delta so you can Jumpseat as long as you have a current medical.

If ALPA is that concerned with the contract, take it out of the pilots hands. Put it in writing that a pilot has to comply with every section of the contact, no matter what. |
No way would I ride the jumpseat during a deadhead.
You're on duty with the company in an aircraft type you're qualified on. The crew busts an altitude and causes a loss of separation. The FAA wants to interview everyone involved. You start getting asked things like "why weren't you wearing a headset as a required crewmember?" "Did you see the altitude they set in the preselect?" "Did you tell the captain that he shouldn't have been using his laptop that the FO admitted he was doing?" "Why did you take the jumpseat and accept additional crewmember responsibility when you've already flown over 8 hours that day?" Or... you could just be getting paid to be a passenger in a seat that was booked for you and contractually owed to you. |

Call the Courtyard Marriott in Mendota Heights. Ask for the DAL Project Rate. Includes a decent free breakfast and the rooms are clean. Hotel will take you the MOA. You can take the Light Rail directly downtown to Target Field and catch at Twins game. It's a great park. If you want one of the best Juicy Lucy's in town try the Blue Door Pub.

I will use the jumpseat when I see fit. Nothing in the contract says we can't. I don't have a problem with how individuals choose to enforce the contract. The contract is there to protect you, ie the company cannot force you to ride the jumpseat on a DH leg, but it does not say I can't ride the jumpseat. Same with the duty day. The company cannot force me beyond a certain point, but within the FARs, if I choose to go beyond the contractual duty day so I can get home vs being stuck on a layover, then that's what I will do.
