thought I read a memo or bulletin about a requirement to have 2 or 3 days off after a 8 plus day trip. Can not find it now.

FAR 117.....8 days is long enough TAFB combined with 60 degrees( I think).....doesn't matter how long you were overseas......Typically 7 day trips don't require the 3 nights in your bed ....UNLESS...they are FRMS

You can find it in content locker FAR 117 rules

So there I was on a deadhead in the middle seat of the last row when I was reading the in flight magazine, there was a section on our 321s. It said we were getting 127 321 and that we had 127 neos on order too, was this a typo or has something changed I thought we had 100 on order with 100 options

The must be delayed because they displaced FO's from the ATL320B on the last AE.:rolleyes:

You are correct. You can spend that xtra $50 and (almost) get your favorite FA a PS4 game. 😁

You've got a future in management!

The FCR of the week in this week's update was hilarious. Captain was upset FA didn't ask permission to ride the jumpseat and told him they were riding the jumpseat. Turns out the FA was right and permission is not required. Hopefully it will change the habits of some Captains who want to control everything. Had a 320 Captain try to lecture me and another pilot for not checking in with him on a Deadhead.

I thought the same! Just hilarious. :rolleyes: some left seat pilots need to either get over themselves or read the FOM.

The FCR of the week is the only reason I read the thing. 90% are like that.

The one time I saw an FCR that clearly pointed out a major mistake, the response was, "We normally have systems in place that would prevent that from happening. The Scheduler chose not to use those systems in order to save time. That being said, this was a rare case and you should still trust scheduling."

Brace for chest thumping in 3...2...1...

Some guys just NEED to have control. Watched a captain lecture another captain the other day at the gate for not being clear about whether he was asking for a Jumpseat. Saw a bunch of people roll their eyes.
