Hey folks,

Just wondering what airlines still do "stand-ups" (Continuous Duty Periods).

TIA,

[Mod edit to add: From AA] Yes. Rare for pilots. Depends on base. Just bringing them back recently.

Closest thing to a high speed at SWA is a redeye pairing but the redeye is preceded by a long rest day, example day two overnight is 23 hours followed by one leg SFO to BNA arriving at 0530 and done.

There was actually some decent standup lines that went sr at f9 years ago. Den abq or Phx get 8 hrs sleep. Paid 6 contractually so you could do a month of them working three days a week. Basically a true part time job. Haven’t seen those in years.

They two leg kind with a hotel are actually pretty popular... you have the whole day off at home.

At DL, the FA’s have those and call them “lean-overs”. They are particularly popular with young Moms.

I always comment that “thank heavens we don’t have those”, but some get as much as 7 hours in the hotel. Some only 3-4 hours. Yuck.

At DL, ATL 320 has them quite often. Because there are so many small airports within 350 miles.

we get paid 10:30 for them. So the company doesn’t build them in the bid package. But will for a broken pairing.

We do, however, perform standing takeoffs. But we do those sitting down.

Big D *can't* build them in the bid package...not allowed.

Only when they start making up the "will cover" rotations

my understanding is standup at DL can only be by proffer. You cannot be assigned (bid package, reserve assignment, IA) a standup, only request to fly it.(WS, YS, GS)
