Just FYI, no one in the May 27 or later dates was assigned a class. Just told to expect late July.

Saw this question get lost on the LNG thread without an answer...
Under the new guidance, when does your commute flight have to arrive to be legal for Day 1 reserve -- by 10am or 12pm?

12pm. You can use 2 hour commute on day 1 still. Short call can start as early as 10am on day 1. Commuter flight would have to arrive by noon.

And that's IF they assign you a 10am short call. My category will assign some short calls to start pretty late on day 1 of reserve. Like 4 or 5 pm. The 2 hour commute on top of that makes it pretty nice.

It's not the same place without you Captain.

Just curious, how do you know what the 6/2 drop is?

We got the drop in an email last Tue (27th) and were given until last Fri to e-mail back our choices.

I saw the new ADG is 5:15 - is that per calendar day, per duty period, or per 24hrs?

Ex: 3-day NY to PHX departing 1pm Friday and returning 7am Sunday on the redeye, with a 5:45 on the front and a 5:00 on the back. Would that pay 15:45 (3 calendar days), or is it still a 13:30 like before?

BTW, the same trip at B6 would pay 10:45 and there are a ton of them (and other similar ones as low as 10 hrs) in Open Time. Though a lot of them are even worse - 10pm Fri departure to arrive 03ish in the morning, 1hr drive to hotel, then redeye back - all for 10hrs.

It will pay 15:45.
Calendar day with a 0001 - 0200 carve out.

If I read it right the ADG is daily 5:15, with a carve out for if you arrive between 0000-0200 on the last day, so yes the 13:30 three day all nighters will now pay 15:45.


All times are GMT -8. The time now is 01:23 PM.
