Default MAO six day

Just curious, how do we staff a 6 day lay over in Manaus when there is no clean drinking water and very limited food choices?

Wonder if ALPA would agree to a LOA so that this trip could be done as a dinner / movie turn? I for one would gladly extend a duty day, but don't desire to break the rules.

Anyone have thoughts on this?

Thanks for the update guys. I LOVE more airplanes to offset the DC9's getting parked.

This almost offsets the DC9-30/40's that are going.

How about MD90's in addition to Dc-9's.

That would be ideal, but I'm dealing with reality.

Ok APC Reserve gurus I need some help. I am on day 5 of a 5 day and being rerouted...no issues with that. However part of the reroute is a DH home after an additional leg. Contractually I am available for a 13 hour duty day today this DH takes me to 15. Can I say no thank you I would prefer to DH tomorrow instead?

Caveat is I do have a day on Reserve tomorrow and I am happy to fly... hoping to time out before Chirstmas.

PS Any suggestions other then reducing my RAW score to build time to ALV?

Contractually you can be extended for 2 hours beyond your max duty day listed on the pairing.

The maximum scheduled duty time limitations set forth in Section 12 D. are scheduling limitations only. Maximum scheduled duty time is calculated as of the point in time of initial publication or creation of a duty period. A pilot will not be rerouted or required to be on duty more than two hours beyond his applicable maximum scheduled duty time in Section 12 D. 1. and 3. It is within the sole discretion of each individual pilot to decide in any given situation whether he will remain on duty beyond his maximum scheduled duty time plus two hours. A pilot’s decision not to remain on duty beyond his maximum scheduled duty time plus two hours will be accepted without challenge by Crew Tracking.


The above is from section 12 of the contract.
