I had a late ORF not too long ago with FAs were doing a lean over and because we were so late they only had 3 hours til they showed for the outbound, so they slept on the plane. Are crews allowed to still sleep on the planes during these lean over things?

And how safe are you driving home after all of that?

 

Does anyone have insight on the 10 hour rule? I talked to one of the smarter guys around about it not to/too/two long ago and he mentioned it might make the number of commutable trips drop a lot to meet the time parameters.

And I am 100% in favor of the 10 hour rule. It's about time airline crews get as much rest as a Baron 58 Part 135 guy.

 

I know on the FDL side, as aircraft up through 683 come up for their next heavy check they are also up for being parked. Subject to change depending on how many pieces of corn RA finds in his morning poop.

 

Uhm. What are cdos and high speeds etc. like tO know what this debate is.

 

CDO=Continuous duty overnight, also known as: illegal, highspeed, lean over, stand up, and nap.

Sign in at 9 or 10pm, fly to outstation, spend 5 or 6 hours on the ground, fly back to hub and get released. The entire time is on duty since it is less than legal to rest for a regular overnight.

 

Thx 80. Wow that sounds bad.

Here's some info from crew resources on where they're putting the furlough recall guys:
"
The positions being offered are the positions where we will continue to grow in the future (717, 73N) and where their seniority can hold.

Our goal is to minimize the training churn. Obviously placing the returning pilots all on the 717 would waste 717 training slots as they quickly bid off. We feel these positions will allow the pilots to return to a position they will remain in for at least the short-term.

Yup... we got slaughtered... but I got this....

Coonskin hats are great aren't they? (I'm the one in the middle)

 

See my previous post I have another one too that is with the other group. This one is just an appetizer.

I don't think there were any highlights. At least from the Tennessee perspective.

 

Jack Daniels empty light came on steady in the first quarter... dayam. Great scenery though.... I think.

 

Yup.......

Props to all the Oregon fans though. We were treated very well, and didn't buy a drink before or after the game. A very classy bunch of people. They said the Tennessee fans were equally hospitable in Knoxville 2 years ago (when they beat the dog slobber out of also) and that made me very proud...
