Also I believe he said something about a total of ten 900s coming online but don't quote me on that.

According to email put out by both company and union, remaining in this FDP status will obligate the pilot to be available for further assignment exactly as though they were on short-call reserve and they will remain in this de facto short call status until the expiration of their FDP as calculated by the table.
Is this how ya'll interpret the recent emails?

What I want to know is if anyone is getting close to their max duty hours for the rolling 28 days?

Prior121, you are right, I am a tool.
Please don't tell anyone. By the way, I have restored multiple antique aircraft, A&P/IA, CFI/CFII, Dispatcher, 4 type ratings, no checkride failures, and no DUI's. I know that you hold DUI's in high regard to pilot abilities. Please forgive me, I am a tool.

Klondike, I had the unfortunate experience of seeing the burned out wreakage of a Kingair. The pilot had an outdated chart that didn't show the tower he hit. It made a lasting impression on me. I keep my charts updated.

Come to think of it... I am getting a mental picture of you. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
If in fact you are pilot, (you sound like a flight attd) I am guessing Daddy paid for everything and you may in fact probably still live at home. Please correct me if my impressions are inaccurate.
