When will we announce the purchase of the JAL D-90's?

Thanks Denny. They are showing me at 15 hours now so I can tell them no thanks. No the question is does this add to my same rotation...i.e. 5 day to 6 day or is this no credit?

Reserves have to work 14 duty periods for the month to receive 5:15. A day which consists solely of a DH is not a duty period, so basically the DH credit would just slide from today to tomorrow & not increase the total value of the rotation.

Pick an "informed" date in the future and add 6 months or a year to it.

That's not quite the way I read it unless you pull the "fatigued" card. If your max duty day on the pairing is 13 hours, you can contractually be extended up to 2 hours beyond the 13 which would be 15 hours. After that it is soley at your descretion to go to the FAA max of 16 hours.

Dec is only my 2nd line this year so you're not speaking my language. Guess I've got some more reading to do.

My guess is when we actually purchase them.

Not the greatest!!!

These 90's should be growth planes for Delta! The DC9 is being replaced by that Compass Crap... This is one area where the merger was not beneficial to the pilot group.

You're not necessarily wrong!

My only point was trip credit also applies to reserve. Hence, if he is on a 5 day trip and it extends into the 6th day for whatever reason, he will get the 1 for 3.5 trip credit for the trip. This may or may not add time to the trip via trip credit. It just, well, depends on the amount of hard time and DH time flown for the trip.
