When renewing a passport, what’s the ROE vis-a-vi scheduling? I have off a group of days that matches the minimum required to get the passport back. What happens if it doesn’t come back on time?
Thanks!

Here's what happens...(just happened to a friend.)
It's a nothing burger if you're not scheduled for an international leg.
You call crew tracking and let them know your passport didn't arrive on time, so please don't reroute you into an international segment.
You get your passport and you call pilot assist and tell them your new passport date and number and they update you for CASS.

If you are a widebody guy, It's probably not that easy.

Wjen captains work 16 days a month for 160 hours I bet we get a new AE before 2019.

Pretty sure 350a is getting that right now with GSWC.

One thing to be optimistic about, history has proven that nearly everytime the company has slowed hiring or tried to cut cost with schedules, it has resulted in a Greenslip party. The A350 being the latest example.

Heck, they were calling 350 FOs on vacation for inverse assignments which is strictly verbotten under the PWA (23.A.16).

Interesting... do we have a grievance filed for that?

Word on the street is that BA went over 270 hours one month. Happy for his windfall, but I know plenty of folks who would have been happy to have taken 350A conversion into what is clearly an undermanned category... not to mention the trickle-up that would have enabled upgrades across the fleet.

Spirit pass question. I’m trying to plan a cruise next year. Can I use it to fly into somewhere and leave from somewhere else?
I.e. can I fly into Roma or Venice and fly home from Athens?

Type spirit pass rules into Deltanet. Short answer is it is allowed. It’s under open jaw bookings in the rules.
