Should be 10 hours free from duty if you report for an FDP the next day.

117 says you must have an 8 hour sleep opportunity on any layover. So, if there are rowdy kids in the hallway or the fire alarm goes off in a hotel while you're asleep and they wake you, those are legitimate excuses to call CS and restart your 8 hours.

If all you do on your next duty period is DH, that can be preceded by less than 10 hours of scheduled rest.

8 hr rest opportunity. which could be interpreted as 8 behind the door. But that is up to the pilot.... Say you get to your room, but there are circumstances which prevent you from a sleep opportunity.

I don't think we have stricter contract language.

Thanks guys, CS was trying to give us less and the captain seemed happy with the situation. I had already told him 10 was the minimum but wanted to double check to make sure I wasn't talking out my butt.

Question for the contract wizards. If you are a new hire, awarded a reserve line and awarded golden X days, does the OE planner have to honor your golden X days even if they are in your shadow period?

Thanks. What happens with an IA that conflicts with a trip on your schedule? Does that trip get dropped with pay or do they put you back on your original trip when you complete the IA?

Newbie waiting to start indoc and have a question. What are the rules on picking up a trip in a different base? Let's say I get NY -88 or 320, could I pick up or trade for MSP flying?

Nope....OE trumps all, especially as a new hire b/c you aren't even on flight time pay till after your OE. However, you will receive those days back in the form of payback days.

You could pick up (Delta calls that an out of base white slip [single pay and credit] or out of base green slip [double pay but no credit]). However, your request is very low on the trip award "ladder" and it would not be done until with 24 hours/next day flying coverage.

As for swaps between domiciles, that is not allowed at Delta - it would be a two-step process (1) hopefully drop your NYC trip if reserve coverage allows and then (2) be awarded the out of base trip.

Welcome to Delta...
