Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

I had a fun morning today. I thought I was on a * day and so I had gone out of town last night. Scheduling called all my numbers trying to reach me at 5am this morning. They were wondering why I had not acknowledged my short call assignment. Oops. Good times. Thank God I didn't go partying last night. I'm sure they would not have been happy to hear me say that I couldn't accept the assignment. Lesson learned.

Were you on an "XX" day or RES day? If "XX" can they do that?

So if you are on Mil Leave you get profit sharing based on "deemed" income for the year, would that be at the rate you were at prior to departing and min guarentee. If on sick leave you would get profit sharing based on 240hrs a year which is you max allowable sick leave in a year?

Actually I was on an XX the day before. The morning they called me, I was supposed to be on duty. I was confused about my schedule.

So they woke me up to tell me that I was on short call. Which immediately got my attention. I jumped out of bed, made sure my uniform was good to go, my bags packed, etc.

I was just wondering how much heads up they are required to give for a short call assignment.......

If you're coming off an X day, you're supposed to check your schedule that afternoon (or answer the phone). I've never had a SC assigned any earlier then about 18 hours in advance.

Depends. If you are coming off an X day it must be assigned by 1500 local base time. You don't have to acknowledge it until 3 hours before it begins so the earliest you would have to acknowledge a SC coming off an X day would be 0200 for a 0500 SC. Now my experience has been that it will be assigned by the 0700-1500 shift, & if you haven't acknowledged it by the time the 1500-2300 shift comes in they will call you to inform you of your SC assignment.

Now, if you're on Long Call they need 10 hours to convert you, however you can use the 1st 2 hours of said SC to commute so really you get 12 hours.

If you are coming off a 24/7 FAR rest day it is treated just like an X day. In this case it can be put on your schedule by 1500 and can start as early as 5 hours AFTER your rest ends.

Clear as mud?? :D

All clear except the last part. How can you start 5 hours after rest when you are not contactable during rest? The only way I could see this happening is if it was acknowledged prior to your rest
