have a trip with a PVD dh leg the first day. There are 3 flights up there with the 2nd giving me 10:25 rest for the next day. The trip has me booked on the 1st and I would like to dh on the 2nd. Am I legal per the contract if the 3rd flight would not give me the required rest to fly the next day?
Thanks
Thanks
You're conflating a deviate DH with a DH while on duty. In this case, you don't start your rotation until an hour before your first working leg which is also when your FDP begins. The deviating DH you'll do the day before isn't part of your rotation so the 10 rest period minimum won't apply.

I thought they were to ditch the Asian hub concept and overfly Narita to places like BKK and such. However, that does appear to be changing with the China Eastern and Korean deals that are in the works.
Feb seniority list is out. 38 retirements which is the largest monthly number of retirements in the last 10 years other than months where buyouts were offered. Love it....hopefully those 38 guys live healthy and happy for at least 20 more years.

I know you're connected at the hip with Ed, but weren't we told these were 747 replacement aircraft for Pacific routes.

It's interesting it's no longer mentioned by the company but KAL seems to be much more in the news.
Here is a pretty good summation of our Pacific situation however slightly dated.

Here is another good article about plans for Shanghai.
http://www.experiencetheskies.com/ho...-shanghai-hub/
Delta Air Lines (DL) Chief Executive Officer Richard Anderson said he sees the Atlanta based airline to build an international hub at Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG) and expand its budding relationship with China Eastern Airlines Corp. (MU).
“When you think about what our strategy is long-term, we need to have a hub in Shanghai like the one we have in Amsterdam,” Anderson told employees in a recorded message.

For the last 2.5 years we have averaged losing one pilot per day. That number will increase to 3/day in a few years and it looks like it will be accelerating nicely now.
We're already adding Seoul flights, and Ed has been in meetings with KAL. China access is the goal, but it's looking like a China hub is less likely. That may turn out alright. It's sad to see the NRT hub dismantled. However, the Fukushima situation is worsening. Record levels of radiation, still contained, are being detected. Like 9 times the previous record. That's not a good trend, and there is no plan or current technology to address the situation. Hopefully they'll get it worked out, but nobody really knows what's going to happen there.

I think the goal was to for example not just have one daily dtw-pvg or atl-pvg flight; but to have 2-3 per day connecting people to both countries. Probably one of our planes and one of theirs flying between the hubs
It's probably really hard from managements standpoint to predict the future in a constantly changing international environment so hopefully they can grow using both icn and pvg and we can keep all of these 25 coming

I suspect that uncertainty with the airline situation in China is a big part of the holdup.

It's also a possibility that this is all due to a 4 month delay from airbus!
