New,

I got this from the merger section, unofficial guide to Delta reserve thread.....

You can understand a lot about the rules if you remember that you need to get 9 hours rest and need to acknowledge trips 3 hours before report. 9 + 3 = 12, which is the long call leash.


Hopefully we will be seeing some educational publications very soon.

They have only started the training on the 88 guys. It will take at least a month to see any of those guys to hit the line.

Furthermore, it looks like you guys will be flying a lot through the summer at a min.

Another question I have, why are the NYC MD88 FO average line values still set high? I thought this was supposed to stop in April? No other category or base is set this high.

Problem is that the MEC as stated by Lee at the LEC 44 meeting, all of those other other airlines are in their current cash situation, unlike DAL because there scope is too tight. The MEC as conveyed by LM sees regional feed and it lower cost as a profit maker that betters the balance sheet and the mainline rates here at DAL. Places like CAL, and AMR are in their minds having issues because they cannot effectively operate the correct jet for the route.
I say, this because that is where the thinking is of our union leadership.

The argument is that we cannot pay rates like that here, and we cannot pay mainline rates for those just, etc. IE lets not find a solution.

I know Shuttle America is now flying 25% of our flying but there is a continued discconnect between FO/CA...

Like 29 said - long call is a 12 hour call out. Short call is a two hour call and can be either a 12 hour block (domestic) or a 24 hour block (international). Kind of socks for the international guys since with the same 6 short call periods an international pilot is on short call for twice as long as a domestic guy.

How can they do that to Int'l guys? You have to have rest every 24 hours (max scheduled duty of 15), looks in violation of FARs.........
