Another reserve question.
Is our time on short call considered duty?
For example, if I'm on short call 900am - 900pm (eastern) and I get assigned a trip at 500pm for a flight to SMF leaving at 7:25 (eastern) that gets in at 9:20 (pacific time), do I have to accept? This would be on for over 15 hours.
I know the contract is max scheduled of 13 hours and can be extended by 2 hours (15 total).
I've always been unsure of this and wonder what others do. Thanks again.

Good deals to be had, but you definitely need to shop around. You can go 90% of the way through the booking process and see the price before you have to pull the trigger. Have fun on the vacation! I'm jealous. I'll be up all night with a newborn about the time you're sipping cocktails on the beach.

They are awesome notes, and great for ppl to read, but just a little too good. The DALPA board may be a good place for it since it will be DAL pilots only that are seeing it.

AKA SC is not duty but it is not rest. You will need to watch your Whitlow on taxi out. You literally have 10 mins to play with.

If you went on short call at 9am eastern, they can use you until 1 am. (Whitlow)
Your contractual duty day doesn't start until you report for the trip.

Your credibility is in question here. I think Pineapple will give you a pass for the broken legs, but I WANT SOME MILF PICS FROM YOUR HOOD...NOW!

I can't find anything in the contract. Thanks.

For example, I was assigned SC from 1100 to 1100. At 0705 I was assigned a trip reporting at 1735. I got credit for the SC (and always have for this type of situation)
Now if you acknowledge the SC but call in sick, you don't get credit for it.

RIU Palace is our favorite resort there. Very "elegant" and has the best resaturants. (Riu Palace Macao is good too) Right next door on either side of the RIU complex is two other good ones. Iberostar and Bahia Principe.
