Maybe not.... If you have not been notified of recovery flying "an actual trip" not just 23G5 you are not obligated. Don't answer your phone after the 12 hour mark and you have the week off! If they have attempted to notify you that a trip has been added to your line before the 12 hour mark and you have not acknowledged it they can drop the trip off your line but you will be subject to recovery flying for I believe 3 maybe 6 hours after your original report. No attempt to notify you of a trip 12 hours prior to report equals no obligation.

I could be wrong, but she seems to be wearing that suit inside out. The tag should be on the inside, and there's a "seam" running down the middle.

I think Flt Ops deserves the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise.
Here's the simple reason why -- they didn't have to change the policy at all.

I think they are planning on using the "reasonable man" standard.
If you are operating in good faith you will be fine. The 3 strikes thing will not be a factor.
But Flt Ops doesn't want to sit down and codify every exact little variation of what is "reasonable" and what will count as "abusive", etc. etc.

"Abusing the policy" is going to be like the Supreme Court definition of pornography - can't define it exactly, but you know it when you see it.

The Chief Pilots are used to dealing with the "problem child" pilots.
This is no different. If you are a straight shooter just trying to get to work then you don't have anything to worry about. If you go in there and pi$$ on their shoes and try to tell them its raining, then things are going to escalate.

Agree. The entire time NWA had this policy, I never heard of anyone being called on the carpet for abusing the policy, as long as they played by the rules, no matter how many times they had to use it. As a 25yr commuter I ALMOST had to use it once and thats with the last 5 yrs or so being all CRJ's.

Yes, that's him.

He says he should be heading back to the line soon. Amazing!
