Same way we work the -ER out of NYC now... we have ZERO domestic flying. What's your question? Not being snotty, I am just wondering what it is you are wondering about.

I was referring to the long call vs. short call for reserves with all int'l flying..... The question was regarding acl65pilot's post:

That's because I've been flying all the other 767 legs to/from MCO.

I don't really understand what you are saying either. The part about domestic he posted refers to the Whitlow ruling with the FAA. If you are flying domestic you must always be able to look back in any 24 hour period and see 8 hours rest. Being on call on reserve is not rest. If the company places you on short call you must block in 16 hours later or you have committed a FAR infraction. No such rule applies to international. His point was if the company puts you on a 24 hours short call you are no longer legal for a domestic leg after 16 hours. The company cuts it off at 12 to avoid issues. Has nothing at all to do with international trip assignments. They can give you anything they want at any time during the 24 hours you are on call.

They can assign you long or short call at their leisure.
I have been given six periods this month where as some of by buddies have had none to two. There is no rhyme or reason to who they assign it to.
Also please clarify what you are asking about with the short call rules.
Basically international stinks.

Well then you need to share the wealth brutha'. I think I forgot how to land a 76 its been so long.

Heck I have not landed anything in over a month.

Bid reserve, that's my strategery.;)

Mine too, and I am not flying that much.

Crap. We're all bidding reserve. Apparently that means the secret's out. I just need everyone senior to me to keep getting lines and not bid reserve. That makes my life complicated. My only concern is with the next AE. I am worried that the guys junior to us are going to bail to the ER and the guys senior to us are going to come back to domestic and push us to junior reserve. That's not a good prospect. I know I can hold a line in the ER its just hard to give up the domestic senior reserve lifestyle.
