Regular First Offi cers Removed for OE
If a regular First Offi cer is removed from his entire rotation for another
pilot’s OE, he will be subject to recovery fl ying under Section 23 G. 5. a.
1. The Company must attempt to notify him of his recovery fl ying at
least 12 hours prior to his original report. If he has not been assigned
recovery fl ying by that time, he has no further recovery obligation.
2. He can be assigned a single rotation that reports on any day of the
original rotation but no earlier than his original report, and releases
no later than 4 hours after his original release or the same calendar
day, whichever is later.3. If he is removed from all or part of his recovery rotation, he cannot
be assigned additional recovery flying.
4. If he has not acknowledged his recovery fl ying three hours prior
to his original report, the recovery fl ying may be removed, and he
will be subject to recovery fl ying under Section 23 K. 1. (Refer to
“Regular Pilots Removed for IROPS” above.)

Example 1:
A First Offi cer is scheduled for a rotation reporting on Wednesday at
1600 and releasing on Friday at 1700. The LCP removes him from
the rotation for another pilot’s OE, and he acknowledges his assigned
recovery fl ying no later than 1300 on Wednesday.
Results:
1. The company may assign him a single recovery rotation no later
than 0400 on Wednesday.
2. Recovery fl ying may report no earlier than 1600 on Wednesday
and must be scheduled to release no later than 2359 on Friday.
3. After 1600 on Tuesday, the company may assign him recovery
fl ying reporting on Wednesday only under Section 23 N.3 (after
white slips).
4. The Company may assign him to recovery fl ying reporting on
Thursday or Friday prior to any assignment made under Section
23 N.1.
5. If no recovery fl ying is assigned by 0400 on Wednesday, he has
no further recovery obligation.

Rotation Guarantee Recovery (23 K.)
A regular pilot who is removed from a rotation due to IROPS affecting his rotation (other
than an FAR 30-in-7 conflict or under Section 23 G. 5. a. 2), and who is notified of the
change to such rotation before the airborne departure of its first flight segment, will remain
available and may be assigned and must report for recovery flying as described in Section
23 K. 1. and 2. A pilot who is projected to exceed the FAR 30-in-7 limitation will be
removed from all or part of his rotation, and is not subject to recovery flying. (Section 23 K.
3. and 4.)
The Company has a single opportunity to assign a pilot recovery flying. If the pilot is
subsequently removed from the recovery rotation, he cannot be assigned a second recovery
rotation.
A pilot may be released from recovery obligation if he waives his rotation guarantee and
Crew Scheduling agrees to release him. Under certain circumstances, a pilot who is
assigned recovery flying may be entitled to a hotel room at his base (Section 5 E. 1. c. and
d.). (See also: WSC pages 32-33 and TWG Notepad 09-11)
