I’m not trying to have a reg off, full of turkey and wine. There is no limit that is hinged to the start of shortcall according to the alpa guy. He kept quoting me the note below table C where a deadhead will not be counted. The RAP is not shortcall start.

1) Sailing quoted the PWA directly.

2) The "alpa guy" is misinformed. Short call is indeed a RAP. And the 16-hour limit or Table+4 limit (once calculated) is measured from the start of the short-call.

They don't always get it right....see the above posts and, as said before, reference 12.D.4.a of the PWA which expressly states:

"A duty period that contains an FDP and ends in a deadhead flight segment will be scheduled to be at least 30 minutes less than the pilot’s applicable FDP limit under Section 12 D. 1. – 3. from report to block-in of the last deadhead flight segment. A pilot will not be rerouted or required to depart from the gate on a deadhead flight segment that is scheduled to block in more than one hour beyond such limit."

You are quoting extraneous info so please stop stating the obvious..your reference does not tie into the shortcall call start.....back on target, where is it written that a shortcall start is the start of a rap or fdp? That is what Alpa couldn’t find.

True statement. However, you started your short call at 4 am right? When did u report for your flying leg?

Shortcall is most certainly the start of a RAP. Shortcall is not the start on an FDP.

Read the FAR...

FAR 117.21.(c)(3) For short call reserve: For an unaugmented operation, the total number of hours a fightcrew member may spend in a fight duty period and a reserve availability period may not exceed the lesser of the maximum applicable fight duty period in Table B of this part plus 4 hours, or 16 hours, as measured from the beginning of the reserve availability period.

At 1pm. Flying leg out, deadhead back to base to land at 1015pm. My question to alpa was “dude are you saying that they could have me deadhead back transcon on top of an FDp?” And he said “yup” and then I said “****”

I guess to try and answer the OPs question, where is it written that a last leg dead head is capped by the shortcall start time?

This is true, however in our case the PWA is more limiting.

Winner, winner, turkey dinner.

Was short call 1100-2300. Called at 19:45 to see about getting released. “Sure, at 2100.”

Was able to crack my first Dogfish at 2059.30 and tilt it at 2100.01

So in a way, they did me a refreshing favor
