Part 117 is based on flight time, not block time.

I see Delta defines flight time as block time. I hope that a manager trying to save Delta $$ doesn't rewrite the FOM to change that definition. (not trying to argue with you, thank you for the reference)

This is one of the biggest dangers of "door pay" IMO. Not worth it.

Flight time or duty time? If I am not mistaken, crew rest on international is based on duty time. The landing crew must be in the seat for 90 minutes in the last half of the duty period. - I think -

I think you are wrong with that. I think (:)) the landing pilot must have at least 90 minutes of break in the second half of the FDP. Think how a 3 man international crew works the breaks...

CQ bidding
 

Will a junior “must go” pilot be awarded their choice period before a senior “may go” pilot if both choose to bid before the “avoid training” line?

If the senior guy is required to train he will be awarded his choice first.

If there are enough training slots for both to go, the senior pilot will get his bid filled before the junior pilot regardless of must or may go status. If there are only enough slots for the must go training, the may go will not go.

The AE closed today at noon...where're the dang results?!? :D

There was an AE? ;) I thought all the big news was the shiny new ipads!

Actually, I believe the following is a 117 requirement for 3-pilot breaks—

PF for landing must have a 2:00+ break in 2nd half of FDP (not flight)
PM for landing must have 1:30+ break sometime during flight (not FDP)

Short oceanic crossings (BOS-CDG, JFK-LHR) make the PF requirement impossible to achieve using equal breaks.

Giving the PF for landing a 2hr break (in 2nd half of FDP) and the PM a 90min break leaving the RP only a 80min break may seem bogus, but NOT doing it that way is an INTENTIONAL VIOLATION OF AN FAR.

Just sayin’
