When the entire contract is implemented this restriction is gone? Am I missing something, soooo the fsm is more restrictive then the contract?

I hope I'm wrong.
Nope... you’re right

Sections that aren't active cannot be enforced. The yellow color is a solid indicator.

I hope I'm wrong.

I think the email was emphasizing that they cannot release you from an RAP early without pilot consent, but they can assign a shortened RAP less than 10 hours as long as it is a part of the daily reserve assignment process. A clever loophole.

I am aware of the current-day Crayola colored contract, but fast forward to Jan 1st 2020. This assignment is perfectly legal ( again, I hope I'm wrong)

I've had several conversations with CS in the last week and they were spouting off sections that haven't been implimented yet. They are ready for Jan 1, 2020 and we're now seeing some of the loopholes in our contract.

As a senior reserve guy, I fear Jan 1, 2020

it is legal now and will be legal then, too. alpa was just telling you to look at the rap start and end times and make sure the company doesn't do something that is against the fsm now. the email wasn't saying that what they are doing violates the fsm or the contract. the email was poorly worded.

Yeah that’s going to be a fun one.
They basically own the middle days, sorry.

While I don’t bid reserve I wholeheartedly agree with you. Things will certainly NOT improve.

Also the ability to call you during your current RAP and change your next days reserve availability period.

This new issue is emblematic of the Culture and Safety are just BS. In the bluthisphere you can put a reserve on first thing in the morning for 4 hours, shut the pilot down and then expect them to be able to report 10-11 hours later.

Show me another major airline that abuses their pilots in such a manner.

But again, the system chief pilot publishes some diatribe about culture and taking care of the airline.

Go **** yourself Jetblue.

25.R.5.c - If you are assigned to rest while in an RAP you can’t be put on a later RAP that same day.

That being said, there’s nothing preventing them from putting you on at midnight thirty. Probably worth a fatigue call at that point.
