Ok scheduling guru's -

I was rerouted into an x day, my new release time was 2100 on said x day. The way I read the contract I don't start my next x day until 9 hours after my release, so that would be 0600 the following morning. Therefore, I should have one full PB day and then a partial PB, so that my next reserve day will begin ot 0600 on the partial PB day. Correct? (I hope that makes sense)

Does anyone remember the DALPA/MEC/? message last week about AA switching to ? for jumpseating? If someone has or remembers the website and you post.

Thanks...

Not sure if it's what you're looking for, but I got an email a couple days ago saying that AA will be requiring OAL jumpseat requests to be made online. I didn't read it real well but I think it said these booking requests can be made on Interline Travel, Interline Discount, Nonrev Travel - ID90.COM or within our own DeltaNet. I looked at the id90 site but couldn't find anything. Haven't looked on DeltaNet yet.

Not true - Richard said up to 20 mainline planes would be parked. A reporter asked if they would be widebodies, and Richard said the mix had not been decided.

I just listed for an AA jumpseat with the new procedures. Get the ALPA bulletin; click on the link at the bottom (and bookmark it), then follow the instructions. Pretty easy--

Yes, it's likely some will be parked as they go into heavy checks and interior upgrades. But this is common. A pull down happens every fall, & people take it out of context and automatically assume the worst. It's flat out silly.

Fear grenades. :mad:

(Not implying that you're doing so)

Yep, to date I have not seen anything that the 4% cut is referenced to. Summer 2011, 2010, fall 2010? Might have missed it but it was not stated in the last two investor calls.

As for the jets, it is my assumption that this is the "plan" that can and will be quickly modified if needed. Booking appear to be strong, so my guess is that once again, the modeling disagrees this far out.

Okay, the way I see it there is only two ways to solve this:

1) Geraldo Rivera can make a show about opening it, chances are he won't find anything, or

2) Donald Trump can make an issue out of it and we'll eventually be able to see at least the short form of the ALPA FPL statement.

I'd hope if Donald was used that he might also be able to find out the rhyme or reason behind SC assignments. One day, 11 of all 11 pilots in the 4 day bucket get SC and there is no weather issues expected. Next time, 2 out of 20. Sometimes they honor your PM/AM request, other times the first guy gets 0330, next 0430, next 0530, next 0630 and so on. Sometimes pilots with lower raw's and junior to you have the time you requested.

Could the Donald do that? Maybe.

WHOOHOO!! I just got a swap with the pot!

Delta posts $318 million loss citing ‘significant’ transatlantic overcapacity and fuel costs|AviationBrief – Your Daily Aviation Intelligence Brief

DL also intends to ground a further 20 aircraft, including some widebody jets, in addition to the 120 it previously said would leave the fleet over the next 18 months. As a result, capacity (ASMs) for the second half will be down four percentage points compared to previous plans, with post-Labor Day system capacity down 4% year-on-year. It will maintain capex spending at $ 1.2 billion over the next five years.

Good catch!
