Always the professional.

Sorry couldn't swing your fini flight.

Please don't be a stranger. You have much to teach us about the profession and "how to" from the left seat

Is there a prohibition on the company taking a trip from one base, adding deadheads on both sides and moving it to another base? I know I've seen this before and the trip has a note that says “for reserve only”.

Was hoping to pickup the rare GSWC for 3 trips that were in open time last night. I looked this morning and they had all disappeared. Found them in the ATL trip coverage built with deadheads on front and back end and awarded as green slips to regular pilots.

I couldn’t find anything in the PWA but I’m not sure where to look.

Delta can move a trip to another base however if they do so it must be covered by a reserve pilot. If they can’t cover it with a reserve the trip must be returned to the original base and covered via the trip coverage ladder. This is a clear violation of the contract and probably the one I see happen most often. Whoever should have been awarded the trip in the original base should be paid. Submit it to ALPA. The trip coverage sequence is section 23N.
This happens often because the scheduler must manually rebuild the trip to move it. They then find out the reserves they thought they had are illegal or otherwise unavailable. At this point they are supposed to rebuild the trip again and move it back but it’s much less workload to simply cover it in the base it now resides with a white or greenslip.

Thanks Sailing. What section of the PWA addresses this? I could not find anything in my search.

rickair7777 made a post on the Help Forum re: Display Issues.

Guess APC made some changes to the forum skin/appearance and required Cookies to be cleared.

Please submit those via the ACE app. Absolutely illegal. You may not get paid, but someone (or 3 someone’s) will.

Good explanation. This is one (of many) reasons why there needs to be a comprehensive automatic review of every single trip like this as well as many other types. For every time a line pilot happens to see a trip like this disappear then happens to follow up and see it go to GS/WS coverage in another base then happens to follow up again, there's probably 100 times it sneaks under the radar. That only incentivises the unilateral "deny deny deny" stratedgy. That doesn't just effect one pilot who may have gotten something lucrative but for their lack of gumshoe investigation; it cascades all across the pilot group and many pilots lose out that can't possibly know they lost out. If the needed review can happen with an app, awesome. If it takes 100% manual review by scheduling ninjas, so be it.
