If tomorrow is not your first RSV day, yes. The only requirement for SC to be assigned by 1500 is for the first day following an X day. For every other day they need to give you 10 hrs notice, and then two hrs to report once you start your DC period. So the earliest they can convert you to SC is 0330 with a two hr report from 330 being 0530 base time.

I believe they can convert you with 10 hours notice to start of reserve period but you can use the 2 hours after that for a commute. That is a total of 12 from 1st call to your available period. . . . I think that's right.

Thanks for the quick reply, I am not a commuter, but damn getting nailed with a SC at 1930 for a 0530 would SUCK if I were one.

Interesting note on the Flow TA - If Compass is sold once again, the flow up is cancelled.

Never thought 400+ pilots, myself included, would ever want to work for TSH so badly...

C'mon, DAL, keep hiring!

First the max that can flow is 25% of the list per year, so I assume that you have four years of flows. I did not see this 25% requirement done away with so as I read it it will take four years for all of the CPS pilots to flow.

Flow up rights for Compass pilots will end if Compass is sold and is no longer an affiliate of Trans States Holdings, Inc.
o Should this occur, all parties will meet to determine whether and how to continue the flow


This is per the LOA

Also, if the lists are merged the parties will reconvene.

IMHO, all and all a very fair LOA and I am glad to see all of you getting access to the DAL seniority number you thought you would get when hired on!

Now lets just hope those jets are not sold to RJET and CPS ceases to exist. :eek:

Agreed, and it is never worth getting caught gaming it by sitting LC at home unless you have flight that WILL get you to base no matter what time the call is.

Did they call you on an off day preceding your reserve days after 1500 Mecca time? Cause they can't do that, after 1500 you aren't liable to be contactable until midnight.

Just a reminder for everyone to take the time and fill out the survey on the Flight Operations website. :D

It has some good questions this year!!

They've got a lot more flying to come up with if they're going to staff it with 160-180 FOs. Where's all the flying coming from? Anyone?
