Scheduling question for you guys... Next month I have a week where I am on reserve for two days have recurrent ground the next two, aerodata training the next day and then immediately start 5 days on rsv... no days off in between. Basically I am working 10 days in a row. Please tell me that this violates the 1 in 7 rule?! I dont see any specific guidance in the contract with training as counting as days off or on with regards to 1 in 7. Help!

Our MEC Chairmen had a meeting with JS today and appearently JS was uninformed on proposals that ALPA has been giving to DS. DS has been keeping stuff from JS. Also our MEC has been working with the Delta MEC over the past month or so. This is definitely a step in the right direction. I think one of the top areas of interest is DS and what he is doing to this company.

What kind of proposals? For what? What is their to negotiate right now? What is there for the MEC to be working on right now with the Delta MEC? Seems to me the most important thing to "negotiate" right now is voluntary leaves, like the flight attendants got (and lets face it, it is a heck of a lot easier to replace an FA outright vs. a pilot) and we don't seem to be getting anywhere with that...
During the BK the same thing happened. The union was offering many differerent ideas to the company and getting nowhere. It was then that the MEC went straight to Delta. Delta was confuesed as to why the offers weren't taken. Delta agreed with the MEC and then shortly after there was a plan. How bad is it when you have to go around your management to your parent company to get anywhere.
Delta should just get rid of Comair's management and just run the place themselves. How much money would that save over the course of a contract?

I would call training scheduling and tell them to give you some time off in between!

Print a hard copy of your line for proof/record and call planning. I think what happens is (correct me anyone if I am wrong) is training is hand built into your schedule, so it is easy to miss the 1 in 7.
Good luck.

For some reason at the end of the month im working 10 days straight. I know I cant do this, but whats going on with scheduling. Also they only gave me 10 days off. Are they saying my training day is a day off?

2) Any day in training, reserve, etc counts as a work day. You get 1 day off in 7.
Call planning and they will be happy to fix it. Posting it on an internet forum isn't going to do much to fix it.
