The new hotel is great and even through a free food/drink reception for us last night. Expecting cheese and beer and wound up with a beef carving station, shrimp chicken - the works plus free beer! They're supposed to be repeating this each Mon night for the net month. |

“International operation” means a flight segment to or from an airport, or between airports, located outside the contiguous 48 states of the United States. Exception: A flight segment to or from an airport located in Canada or Alaska will not be considered an international operation. “International pay” means an hourly pay premium paid to a pilot for flight time flown in an international operation. I think the reason the company wanted to move the Ocean Crossing line further south was that flights with an Ocean Crossing cannot be part of a domestic category (ie: 73N) so they would have to make a separate, international category of 737 pilots. Also, in the PWA an Ocean Crossing has more rest requirements after the flight when you get back to base: For purposes of line construction only, a pilot will be scheduled for a break-in-duty at base of at least: a. 11 hours following a duty period that does not include an ocean crossing. b. 18 hours following a duty period that includes an ocean crossing (subject to Section 23 M. 8.). |

Bottom line: we do plenty of ocean crossings that are outside of Canada and Alaska that are not paid for international time. I'm not complaining. I flew C-141s internationally for 20 years. I get it. Just saying that if one category gets paid to fly south of the equator, then all categories should. Another issue for DALPA to enjoin.
Ocean crossings aren't connected to international pay, from what I read. By "Ocean crossings" I mean the definition in the PWA (which is long, and I won't put the whole thing here, but this is what was changed to accomodate Quito I believe: “Ocean crossing” means a flight segment... to or from an airport in South America, as follows: 1) between the United States and any point further south of the equator than 3 degrees, 30 minutes south latitude on the South American continent, and |

DAL used to draw the international line (south) at the equator. Now that we 73 guys fly to Quito, they've changed the pay rules (and moved the equator south of Quito). No international pay for us!! And no soup for you!!
