[QUOTE=Scoop;2096978]Green slip Question.

What happens if you fly a GS trip as a lineholder but the trip is modified? Do we get GS pay protection for the whole trip or only GS pay for the legs flown and then pay protected at straight pay for legs not flown?


You will get straight pay for the original rotation and double pay for what you actually

 

I've heard this before, but I don't understand it. What is the issue having (how does it hurt us to have) 30-day summer months?

 

Newbie reserve question. I have read section 23 and still don't understand when I am eligible for long call or conversion to short call.

I have a trip from 28-31 March (OE). I have 6 days of reserve starting on 1 Apr. I was alerted today that I have been given a reserve rest period from the end of my rotation on the 31 (2038) to 2 Apr (0238) (30 hrs). Am I eligible for assignment at 0238 or am I eligible for 12 hr call out at 0238, meaning the earliest trip I can be assigned would be 1438 on the 2nd?

I'm happy to have the time off I just want to know what to expect. I also thought I read something about having to be notified by 1500 the day prior for any assignment. Does that mean 1500 on the 1st?

Thank in advance for the help.

 

One thing is that it is 1 less day off at a minimum each of the those months for reserves. Moved the extra day off to months with lower ALVs where the lower ALV likely equals an extra day off anyway due to the sliding scale.

 

Because summer is our heaviest flying, in effect, it allows the company to require 1/30th fewer pilots. 13000/30=433. So, 433 fewer pilots on the seniority list than was required prior to the change.

 

They can either assign you short call or a trip beginning at 1238. If you are commuting, you can inform crew scheduling that you will be unavailable for the 1st 2 hours of your short call period. For details see pages 74 and 75 of the scheduling reference handbook.

 

does anyone know can you watch movies from the pilot rest facility on the b777 in the two chairs in front of the bunks?

 

There are no video monitors. If you are using at rest wifi, I believe you can watch delta cinema on a device. I've never tried but don't know why it wouldn't work.

 

I may be wrong but I think they can assign SC at 10:38 with the 2 hr call out getting him there at 12:38. At least that's what they do to me on my first day back, 10am SC.

 

What were you awarded for March, i.e., were you RES or REG? I realize you didn't actually fly any of your March schedule (if 28 - 31 Mar is OE). Your status upon release on the 31st will determine the "earliest you can be assigned": If you're REG in March, you have no obligation to check your schedule, thus they can't require you to acknowledge* anything starting earlier than 10 hours after the end of your rest (12 hours after if it's not on your schedule by 9 hours prior to the end of the rest); if you're RES in March, you must check your schedule before release, and you may have a trip or SC assigned starting as early as the end of your rest. In the latter case, if nothing's there when you do that check, then you're back to nothing earlier than 10 (or 12) hours after the end of the rest.

*Doesn't mean they won't go fishing & put something on your schedule--which, if you then acknowledge it, it's yours.... Don't fall into that trap....
