Does anyone have the link to adjust the black-out times for ALPA's texts? Twice this week I've gotten texts at 2236 East Coast time telling me that the bids were out. Delta's CNO system has "Do Not Disturb" times.

Does your phone not have a Do Not Disturb feature?

1. Short call pilot gets called out for a one day trip. Signs in, spend several hours, then flight cancels. What does it pay? I spent way too long staring in PWA and not finding it.

2. This one is really driving me nuts, where are payback days and partial pb days discussed? I've read it before but for the life of me can't find it now.

Thanks

1. My best guess is suit up pay which is 2 hours. Whatever it is, it's applied to reserve guarantee so a moot point unless you are going to break guarantee.

2. Your best reference for these is the scheduling reference handbook put out by Dalpa.

Of course. But we're in GS season and sometimes CS comes up as "Unknown Caller.":D

C'mon Phuz...you were so close but you just need to read the contract more fully/carefully. You are exactly right that 2.A.145 defines "International pay” means an hourly pay premium paid to a pilot for flight time flown in an international operation.

However, you have to go to 2.A.143 which defines “International operation” as "a flight segment to or from an airport, or between airports, located outside the contiguous 48 states of the United States. Exception: A flight segment between an airport located in the mainland United States and either Canada or Alaska will not be considered an international operation."

Therefore, a flight to/from CUN is an international operation entitling you to international override and international per diem.

I didn't see where it said Mexico in that. Went to the source too, and it only says Canada and Alaska, which aren't Mexico. What am I missing?

Curious to hear what Phuz hears from Alpa, I would definitely ask the question.

I could have been a little more clear. They have to complete the Captain bids before they can start the FO bids, because of the Avoids and LCA preferences. Without a firm schedule for the As, there is nothing to run the FO preferences against.

Ummmm....that's kinda the point I was making. Mexico is not in the exception so Phuz should be getting int'l override and per diem for the Mexico legs.

Thank you.

You betcha. If you didn't get paid int'l override and per diem, get ahold of the MEC Contract Admin folks and they will ensure you get paid.

Lol....all good!

Psssst....bid M88/717. No red eyes and you will only be waking up smack dab in your WOCL for all those 5 am pushes to/from "the Villes." 😁

What's up with the 4 guys getting terminated for being out of position on short call? Did they lie and try to cover it up? History of doing dumb things? My understanding is that it's pretty hard to get fired here if you tell the truth and straighten up.
