I think it leaves out a "night override" for a portion of a month's sched, well pretty much ALL of a LAX 73N's hours!!

I gotta be honest, I think 6:15 is shooting for the moon.....Not to manage anyone else's expectations, I would be satisfied with 6:00, phased in :15 minutes up each year over 3 years. In reality, the company is already screwed wrt having enough pilots trained and flying the published schedule, if we all got 1-2 extra days off per month immediately they would have to park planes. So a phase in would be fine with me.

None of it matters without a more concrete scope on the TOP and BOTTOM end of the flying, and better scheduling/reserve rules, but all of that is subject to change with the eventual publication of the FT/DT.

I'd be interested to see FDX plus 1% (hopefully the AA deal), and then AA plus 2% for UCAL, then UCAL plus 2% for us. Pattern UP!!!!

Yes, and there was no advancement of the thrust levers in the final two seconds between "whoa..." and first impact.

If I recall the details (from reading the hundred-page ALPA report 4 years ago) "V1-rotate" were called out well before reaching actual V1, and there was increasing backpressure on the yoke as the pavement ended.

Lots of guys have gotten CRJs off runway 26 in LEX, but they were using Microsoft Flight Sim and not trying to save on engine wear.

Were they using flaps 20 or 8?

It was 20.

I agree with all of that Shiz. I'd love to see a night override and a min reserve guarantee of somewhere north of 75 hours. Plus, SC has to be paid. Other then that, I'd be a yes with a solid scope.

Yea, I just looked it up, the V1 was called 6 knots early and Rotate was 11 knots early (240 or so feet from the end, he knew something was not right) 1 second later the control column was moved full aft (the report said approx 10 degree/second rotation rate)

I'd be getting some of that nice night override tonight... off to another redeye.

I wonder how many deerstrikes we would avoid using normal thrust just prior to dawn and just after dusk?

I'd take a redeye over those 6am departures any day. Have fun, 80!

Especially those wonderful LAX trips that are a redeye followed 24 hrs. later by a 6 AM east coast wakeup back to LAX for a wopping 3 day 10:30 trip. Where's min (5:15 would be great to start) DAILY credit.
