Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

Not on pure international.
If they want to give you a domesic trip after the first 12 hours then they would have to give you 9 hours free of duty prior to the report time. Maybe that's what you are thinking of.

To give themselves the most flexibility, they should shorten your 23 Jun SC at 2359 or even 0200 on the 24th and then when you restart on the 24th you'll be legal again for domestic. That's how they used to do it, but with the new crop of schedulers who aren't as familiar (means haven't even read) with the contract, who knows.

FTB, that's awesome. Thanks for taking the time to do that.

It really is scary that the most junior position at Delta is now the 7ER in NYC.

However, they can't use you for domestic after the first 12 hours.

Partially true. They have to curtail your first short call and give you (I think) 9 hours rest before your subsequent one. You cant go 48 hours in a row.

Why? Weren't most hires in 2007/2008 going to the 7ER? What's scary is UPS 2nd year pay of $150/hour. ;)

Yeah I wonder how often since 2008 we've had a plug that was in the ER? I don't think, and I could be wrong, there ever was a class of straight ER so as to have a plug hired into the ER position. If there was it would've happened in late 07 and there's a chance I vaguely remember of that happening. Don't know.

Thanks. My wife doesn't think I could be any lazier!

You guys are thinking domestic. There is no such rule for international.
You can be on continuous short call for 6 days.

All times are GMT -8. The time now is 11:34 AM.
