Or with 787's :rolleyes:

I don't have a lot of heartburn over the 787's -- since we are getting A350's which are equivalent.

It would be nice to have more 777's. Or something big to replace the whales.

And the A350 pays more than the 787, at least till the next round of negotiations. 😆

If you have a golden day coming up, you're released from short call at noon the previous day, correct? What if you have vacation starting the next day? Are you released from SC at noon if you have vacation the next day? I tried to look for this but couldn't find it.

Thanks, E

Yes. You are released prior to a "hard non-fly day," which includes a golden day and vaca.

A reading from the SRH:

"A long call pilot will be released from on-call duty at 1200 base time on his last on-call day prior to a hard non-fly day." A hard non-fly day is defined as "a non-fly day on which a pilot may not be inversely assigned to a rotation (e.g., vacation, APD day, reserve PD day, ALPA, legal duty, MLOA, or golden X-day)." This section of the PWA states that a long call pilot who has no trip assignment will be released."

"Short call pilots will be released from on-call duty not later than 1200 base time on their last on-call day prior to a hard non-fly day.
It is important to note that a reserve pilot who is assigned, and flies a rotation that releases after 1200 on the day prior to a hard non-fly day, is released from on-call duty at the release of that rotation."

Long term debt:
UAL 10.7 Billion
AAL 18.2 Billion
DAL 6.7 Billion


Make of that what you will, but let's revisit it when the next economic downturn comes and we see what happens with all those shiny big jets and the pilots who fly them.

Thanks! I thought that was the case but I wasn't certain.

How's the STI (Santiago, D.R.) layover? Reads okay on mycrewguide but don't know anyone who has been there.

Well - I've been but it wasn't a very long overnight. 13 hours and it was raining. I'm usually adventurous but ate next to the hotel. It was a longish drive to the hotel, 20-30 min if I remember? There was breakfast in the morning if I remember too. If you're there longer there is more entertaining things to do I've heard.

How far ahead does PCS award out of base white slips?
