Not the way that I am reading. That is only for normal reroutes...not for situations beyond the company's control.

A rerouted regular pilot who is not scheduled to release within four hours of the
scheduled release of the last duty period of his original rotation, or within the same
calendar day of the last duty period of his original rotation, whichever is later, (the “time
limitation”) will receive single pay and credit (or the applicable pay, no credit for a GS,
GSWC, IA or IAWC) for the rotation as flown, plus half pay no credit for any duty
period(s) that extends beyond such time limitation.
Exception one: If such rerouted pilot is not scheduled to release at his base within such
time limitation due to a circumstance over which the Company does not have control
(e.g., pilot’s origin or destination airport closed, weather on pilot’s routing, mechanical
on pilot’s assigned aircraft) he will receive only single pay and credit (or the applicable
pay, no credit for a GS, GSWC, IA or IAWC) for the rotation as flown.
Exception two: The time limitation will be 30 hours for an international category pilot
when rerouted into, or while in, trans-oceanic operations.
Exception three: A rerouted pilot who is scheduled to be released at his base beyond the
time limitation will not be entitled to premium pay if he is again rerouted for the purpose
of releasing him at his base within the time limitation

 

I agree that the 747 should pay more, but if it did that would just give the company more reason to park them. With fences and WB ego's involved, the 747 and 777 will always pay the same, might as well get used to it and just hope to keep at least 16 of each until the fences come down.

 

DL read exception two. After 30 hrs this does not apply and it goes to assignment pay. I could be wrong but that is how one of the scheduling gurus explained it to me.

 

For you MSP commuters, what's the crashpad situation like? I keep hearing that most are just staying in a La Quinta near the airport. I will be on reserve so I am just trying to figure out what will work best.

any ideas?

 

The big picture. The above kind of thinking kills me. Because we have a fence we can not get any more 777 or 747s. Who cares. The best movement for the entire pilot group is a new ship at the top pay scale. That opens seat all the way down the food chain. Who would most likely bid the 747A seat? Probably a 330A guy, now who can bid that seat??? Who will probably bid a 777A seat? Probably a 765A guy and now who can bid that seat? In the interest of keeping peace, there is a lot of validity to keeping the 747 around until the fences come down. .

 

Many have said that since the 777 and 744 has the same number of ships, the fences should come down.

 

Check your pm.

 

Anybody try and use the BOQ on the Guard base as a crash pad? Just wondering how that might work. I know there used to be a shuttle from the terminal over there, is it still running?

 

Equal number of jets and equal pay rates.
The fences are rather pointless.
All they do is force more pilots to commute.
Psychologically though, they make some people feel "super premium".

 

sure you're gonna be on reserve? seems like there will be a lot of new hires going there. Had a friend in the next to last class put in a 70% "hold a line" qualifier on the last bid and got it, so you may not be on reserve very long.
