100 in 30/RFO
Greetings,
New to 777, trying to make sure I don't get removed from a trip in bidding month to month for 100/30 violation. My question is w/r/t block hours while RFO and the 100/30 rule...does only 2/3 of the trip block go towards the 100/30 tally? Thanks in advance! |
Many, many years ago, I had some problems with 100/30. I asked the union to ask the company to add a question to the bid. "If you have a 100/30 issue, would you like to default to your next bid choice?" I wanted the question added to the list of questions you answer when you bid. This would save people who might have an entire line dropped during a vacation month, when they needed to burn vacation before the end of the year so they didn't lose it.
This was before the last contract, and I brought it up to the NC, and many others. Nothing changed. I couldn't believe that such a simple solution to a problem faced by many crew members would be rejected. This ended up being one of the many reasons I voted no. This could be fixed, and easily, without waiting for the next contract. All it takes is someone to do the right thing. |

If you only ask for 2/3 of the block over pay, then you should be good.
It's all of the tube time no matter which seat you occupy.😣😣 |

I was being a smart ass. Point is, if you are a required crewmember on the flight, the Faa counts it.

I’m not sure if this will make a difference in your situation, but a few things to know: W/r/t the 100 hour limit, the limit is a calendar month, not 30 consecutive days. The 100 hour limit only applies if you operate on a 2-pilot crew during that month. As an RFO operating exclusively on augmented crews, your limit is 120 hours in 30 consecutive days. |

That was a great idea, but do you have the answer to my question?:confused:
But if my suggestion were implemented, your question would be moot. |

Do need to pay attention when you bid, since our bidmonths straddle calendar months.
the 100 in 30 has bit more than one International flyer. |
