International categories have 24 hour short call. (which sucks sucks sucks)

It's legal.... whitlow doesn't apply to international operations.

That sounds hauntingly familiar to I believe I said when I signed up for the Air Force back in the day. Didn't have a frikkin clue what I was doing.

Whitlow doesnt apply to int'l. Also, on the 777 if a greenslip goes out with someone on shortcall - its usually a safe bet the sc pilot is legal for the trip unless it would fly him into golden days or mil leave.

When I said ...Ok, it wasnt a question, it was a thing that makes me go huh.

newK was apparently present at the recent riots:

That's not what I've seen thus far here. Stubbornness is what I've seen mostly.

Yes it does ... Yes it does.

There is a whole bunch of bad info posted here on the Ipads. Here are a the main points.
1. Delta has not ruled out buying Ipads. They are being tested as we speak.
2. There is no issue with other employees since the Ipads would not be for personal use and more then likely locked out from downloading apps ect..
3. The IPad is not certified for use below 10,000 and must be turned off. It can't replace Jepps in the cockpit. It can only replace other company publications most of which are stored on the aircraft such as the MDM.
4. The GPS in the Ipad does not meet any avaition standards and could never be used for Geo referenced positions on plates and charts. A huge negative for the Ipad.
5. Delta is testing several other options more avaition oriented that offer a lot more functionality then the Ipad. The cost however is higher.
6. The test period runs into the summer. No decisions will be made for a few months.

Hey DALPA, ever heard of Republic?
 

Southwest Pilots Applaud Termination of SkyWest Codeshare
Thu, 16 Jun '11

Says The Agreement Was A Violation Of Their Contract
The Southwest Airlines Pilots' Association (SWAPA) said Monday it is pleased with Southwest Airlines' recognition of their Collective Bargaining Agreement with the pilots and the contract's prohibition against domestic codeshare. The codeshare agreement with SkyWest is a contract violation and the pilots of Southwest are pleased that the Company chose to honor the negotiated agreement in a timely fashion. The termination of the SkyWest codeshare agreement with AirTran allows both SWAPA and Southwest Airlines to concentrate and devote their collective energies on the tasks at hand.



"This move by our Company demonstrates a strong commitment to their pilots and our contract," said SWAPA President, Captain Steve Chase. "As a wholly owned subsidiary, AirTran and eventually Southwest, have the capability of flying into those markets and delivering superior service."

In late 2009, the Southwest Airlines Pilots' Association ratified its contract with Southwest Airlines that strictly prohibits domestic codeshare and greatly restricts codeshare to near-international destinations. This section of the contract is foundational to the protection of pilots' jobs and careers.



"It inspires confidence when your Company supports the interests of its employees and is willing to honor their negotiated contract," Chase added. "We are proud of the collaborative partnership we have with Southwest Airlines leadership and today's announcement is another example of the benefits of that relationship."

Wow! Night and day.

Not really. They enforce their scope language just as DALPA does. SWAPA just happens to have a better scope clause to enforce....
