When you list for the jumpseat at Delta it’s yours unless a fed bumps you. If that happens going to work you get positive space in back even if a paying passenger must be bumped.

I just go rerouted on reserve into my vacation day today. Does anyone know what kind of pay I should receive if any? My time card doesn’t show any additional pay. Thanks for the help.

Crew Tracking won't do that if you tell them you have a vacation day or Golden X day. Tracking "can't see" your whole schedule, they just see the trip you're on.

Consider using that vacation payback day on one of your vacation weeks.

I had something similar happen, two days worth, and had them put on the backend of my primary vacation. Yep, December 24 and 25! :D

American does it best: You reserve the jumpseat ahead of time (first come, first served basis) and simultaneously list for non-rev. It's simple and works. This isn't rocket surgery, Delta.

Since jumpseat is an actual reservation for us, I don't really mind our current system. You get to choose nonrev and have a chance for a seat in the back or a sure thing with the jumpseat. Since we can reserve it, listing for both would increase chances of other pilots not having a chance to get on that flight if you got a seat in the back last minute when the gate agent didn't want to deal with jumpseaters or if it was past jumpseat listing closeout.

I'm probably not going to explain this well but..........does anyone know where in the contract it talks about adding either the flight time or duty time from one day to next to determine what kind of minimum break in duty is required? It used to be in Section 12 but I cannot find it any where. Specifically I want to know what the min break in duty is if the scheduled block time from both before and after adds up to over 20 hours for a 3 man crew. Based on my timecard, I'm sure scheduling got it right, I just want to know where its located now. Thanks

Section 12G2

I like the flow back system.

The reservation system works for commuters. I book my JS when the window opens and cancel if I don't need.

Thanks Sailingfun! The formatting was different than I remember.

Last week I got inversely assigned to a 3 day Beijing trip and it paid quite a bit more than I thought it would. I knew the answer was in there somewhere. We ended up being on duty, for pay purposes, for the entire trip.
