Yes, they directed a change to both OO and 9E that captured several additional metrics including wheels rolling on pushback. The new version rolled out and was installed at both properties several months ago. I would argue that they don’t have authority to change procedure at an airline as that would involve operational control.

All good info, thanks.
As far as the higher fuel burn goes, Delta has shown a propensity to spend money to keep the operation as reliable as possible so I’m not surprised about that.

I'm with SkyWest, very senior. This is not a slam on any airline or anybody.
We recently got a new requirement that we can't drop the parking brake until we have been cleared to push. For some domiciles there are typically 10 minute delays to push, thus this is a big pay cut. We have no recourse to battle this as we have zilch representation.
My question for this group is this new rule been put to your pilots and what are your union reps able to do about it?
It was reported that your MEC told your management "NO" to what is basically a pay cut? This being said I'm presuming your time begins at parking brake drop?
Just looking for some info to pass along to the SkyWest pilot group.
Again this is not a jab at anybody or any pilot group.
Thanks for any info!
