That’s awesome! This one was an equipment substitution from 7er to a330. We had to cover the flight out too and I’m guessing we were the only 330 crew in China.

I would run that rotation through the contract admin guys at DALPA. If the rotation was constructed illegally they will owe you assignment pay for the trip. It gets complicated since it already was a GS but you may be due more. Perhaps a lot more as in the 29 doubled.

Agree, mine was a 23:30 that turned into like 32 hours with duty from the first day showing up, so it was like 32 for rotation + 32 for what we actually flew + 23:30 for original guarantee.

I’m fuzzy on how it could be illegally constructed. We were given a 1 hour report and the actual layover was 17:32. We were 6 mu on the first leg. Yes, we had less than 18 hrs but well over the min time in the contract.

I guess I’m wondering how a rotation can be illegally constructed?

Your duty period going over exceeded 13 hours. That requires a minimum scheduled layover of 18 hours. They can reduce the report time but for contractual purpose must use 90 minutes.

Similar in ATL, in fact we have ceased GDL.

Anyone notice the glaring error on the statistics for your puzzle piece from ship 6305?

"parked Jan 2006...served 17 years."

Wait... so that would mean it never wore the Delta livery since that was 2.5 years pre-merger?? I thought about it and remember that we definitely flew all 16 whales post merger up until their parking later on.

Sure enough... she made it at least through October 2016.

47% of statistics are made up on the spot! Distributed to 70,000 people!
