Guys,
My favorite time of the month,were Delta changes your beautiful carry over trip from a four day into an awful five day trip.
This practice is so wrong.
I now fly two four day trips back to back,one day off followed by my newly build five day trip.
Priceless

They just did this to me...the trip now goes into my vacation week. Is that allowed? Did i really just lose a vacation day?

I plan to let my reps know that there will be no relief on TLV absent a new contract.

Exactly.

If they need to cover RJ flying we shouldn't give them relief on the TLV. They can leave what they can't cram into the current TLV in open time and cover it with GS's in the short term and go back to hiring 100 a month to cover the flying for spring/summer.

And I have to laugh at the guys who said they are going to be refurbishing 50 seaters. I mean, those are going to be really nice static ramp display models. I hope they got a good deal on parking

No mention on the new AQFO name change to LVP? Seems a LOT of LCP time is going to be lost, especially was we hire so many a year. LVP are cheaper than LCPs.

Also, does anyone know if there's a cutoff on when they can make these changes? I guess it's in the PWA somewhere... or maybe not.

Scheduling question:
- Can you finish a flying rotation the same day you're supposed to P.S. to ATL for CQ? In other words, Day 3 of a trip is also Day 1 (travel day) of a CQ training pattern.
- If so, how would that pay? Normal trip + the CQ hours combined?

No. Training is pre-posted in PBS, and it won't let you overlap a rotation with the training footprint.

I suppose an exception would be if you get rerouted or delayed into your CQ travel day...but it's not something you can bid.
