Bill,

I think you are using the word "we" rather loosely......

All the added MCI-MSP plus a few others IS going to be operated by Shuttle America! Hard to not find that entertaining...

Would you guys please log out of Icrew? It is painfully slow this morning!

Quick question guys: I'm on reserve and currently on a trip... if I miss my deadhead back to base at the end of a trip and instead take a DH flight that gets in 20 minutes after midnight and into my day off, do they owe me a whole reserve day back or just 20 minutes?

Thanks!

401K's:

Anybody using The Advisors, or Kim Snider Method, Financial Engines, 401k Maximizer for investment mgt?

I don't think you get any days back but you might get some pay if you are more than 4 hours late.

23.L.9 --

9. A rerouted reserve pilot who is not scheduled to release within four hours of the scheduled release of the last duty period of his original rotation will receive single pay and credit (or the applicable pay, no credit for a GS, GSWC, IA or IAWC) for the rotation as flown, plus half pay no credit (in addition to any other form of pay for the bid period) for any duty period that extends beyond such four hour limitation and into either:
a. an X-day, or
b. a regular line day-off.
Exception one: If such rerouted pilot is not scheduled to release at his base within such four hour time limitation due to a circumstance over which the Company does not have control (e.g., pilot’s origin or destination airport closed, weather on pilot’s routing, mechanical on pilot’s assigned aircraft) he will receive only single pay and credit (or the applicable pay, no credit for a GS, GSWC, IA or IAWC) for the rotation as flown.
Exception two: The time limitation will be 30 hours for an international category pilot when rerouted into, or while in, trans-oceanic operations.
Exception three: A rerouted pilot who is scheduled to be released at his base beyond the time limitation will not be entitled to premium pay if he is again rerouted for the purpose of releasing him at his base within the time limitation.

LandGreen: Nope but that does not mean anything. I just prefer to do most of it myself with some advisement from my life long brokerage house.

Blue, I beleive it has to be after 2 AM to count as a fly day. I am checking in the PWA as we type.


Also JAL just emerged from bankruptcy protection. Wonder if ANA is still a creditor.......

23.S.11 of the PWA. There is an example in there. 2 AM is wrong, old airline, wrong contract.

11. A reserve pilot who flies on an X-day due to an IA, GS or reroute will be given nine
hours free of duty upon his release at the completion of his rotation.
a. His X-day(s) will begin immediately following such nine-hour period and will
continue until he has received a period of 24 hours free of duty for each interrupted
and remaining X-day in his scheduled X-day block.
b. If the remaining days in the bid period are insufficient to contain the X-day(s), the
pilot will be granted an additional day(s) off under Section 23 S. 16.

Basically since you were flown in to an off day, your off day will start after nine hrs of rest and then you will get that credited on the back end of your off days. At least that is how I read it.

Dude, you are so winning! Hilarious!
