Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

Read the MEC Chairmans letter sent out yesterday to the pilots. There is a section titled “Operations Tempo”. It is spot on 100 percent what I have seen/experienced this summer. The FAA should take a look at it....maybe our new Administrator should get a copy since he is going to be so “Safety” oriented since the 737 Max debacle. I heard him say it a hundred times during his confirmation. Not to worry though.....”Schedule with Safety”. I saw that Alpa sticker somewhere years ago. What a farce!

Thanks Gopher, just checked my email and saw that!

They are harassing pilots with legitimate sick notes. Not approving sick leave due to the the nature of illness not being specific enough. Talk to a rep....they are fighting that battle now

So how does a 3-day GS on RES result in 4 PB days -- not that I'm complaining.:D

Block in after 1430 on your last day, so your required rest from that trips spills in to the following day

Mmm .... I’m on X days during the whole GS and after. If this is true the 4th is only partial?

My experience is they screw it up routinely. Mostly in my favor but not always. I call if it’s not in my favor. They always fix it right there for me.

It depends if there is anywhere to put the partial in that month. If there isn't it becomes a full payback day.

9 hours free from duty after release for domestic, 13 hours for ocean crossing...then the 24 hr PB days starts.

So how does the PB day calculation work for a 1day GS reporting at 3 am and release at 8am?? CS told me I would only get the 9 hours and that’s it! Can that be right? This month I had 6 GS days in a row and only got 3 PB days and one partial Day in return.

All times are GMT -8. The time now is 04:14 AM.
