So with conflict does not apply to reserve?

I don't think there is any way that we bottom feeders can get a conflict since we have no trips on our lines. Conflicts are so rare anymore anyway, that honestly I don't even submit one. On the ER they have so many pilots that they can break up a rotation to avoid a conflict. they will also award an out of base GS before a conflict too.

Not to digress, but the funny thing is though, I still have no idea what the purpose of short call pilots is in my category. I was on short call a week or so ago, and several GSs went out on trips that would have been perfect for me. I don't get it. Anyway.. I hope this helps

I can't figure that one either.

Thanks for the help.

They better not be doing that.
They have to follow the open time assignment sequence. (23N & O)
If they don't, call the union. You (or someone) might get some money.

Just saw it.

More Delta flying done by non-Delta pilots...

More career stagnation because someone else is doing our flying...

Bummer.

Agreed. They're supposed to use SC pilots before GS. I know they like to hang on to the SC guys as long as possible - just in case.

Question about "swapping with friends."

I tried to pickup a trip that puts me at 29:05 hrs. in 7 days. Per the contract we cannot pickup a trip that creates a FAR/PWA limitation within 1 hour.

My question: Does swapping with friends also apply for the 1 hour rule?

Thanks.

Default Airbus random question

My previous life was spent mainly in A300/310's. After the AA587 accident our DFDAU's were modified to send a message to the crew and MX anytime 0.15 lateral G was exceeded in flight.

Were the DAL/NW 320/330's also modified to automatically provide that alert ?

Thanks in advance.....

Nothing has changed contractually on the With conflict GS's. Its the same deal it always was. They drop the conflicting trip and pay you for both trips. Been that way since at least 1986. I once got a 2 day with conflict GS that dropped a 7 day trip. I kind of liked it!!!!!
