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

There are weight limits and seat configuration limits. Certificated seating limits were changed to configuration limits.

Under the old language the E-175 (max seating 88) was not a permitted aircraft, neither was the CRJ-900. Small changes to language can have a large effect.

I don't remember voting on these changes, curious..

I get the same feeling when I hear "our contract has stronger language than the current NPRM flight time limits". One quick end around and we know the result.

If you voted on LOA 46, you voted on the changes.

As to the NPRM, our contract has stronger language than current FAR limits, and they survived bankruptcy. The flight time duty time limits contained in the NPRM are in total signficantly much more restrictive than the current FAR. This would require a lot of the bottom feeder airlines that work to the current less restrictive FAR to tighten the difference between our contract and what they're currently able to do. That can only be good for us, and is one reason some of the ATA carriers are squawking so loudly about increased costs.

Funny that Alaska still has pilots on furlough with all the amazing growth they have had.

I think they've recalled everybody Sailing and they're going into a hiring phase. I have a friend who is bypassing to stay in the USAF and retire, then come back.

I have searched the PWA and can't find the answer.

I have a reserve line. I have OE the first couple of days. Then I have RES (S) and RES days.

What does RES (S) mean or stand for?

Thanks ...

Bump .... any ideas?

Thanks.

I don't know what the (S) means but since you have an OE just prior to that I'm guessing its flex reserve days in case your OE is postponed, etc. Just a guess.

If you want an accurate answer I suggest you go to the committee corner on the DALPA site.

I think you still have to do that one under travel net/company business.

Call scheduling to let them know. They will probably ask you which flight you will be on, too.
