ASRS - Aviation Safety Reporting System

Anyways I did it for you (took 5 seconds of research, it was on the same website posted earlier)...go ahead and read. I'll even cut and paste the passage for you here.

 

Was anyone in the recurrent ground recently when the POI sat in? I hear that major red flags were raised when the class started talking about rest requirements and reduced rest. I guess he agrees that reduced rest is suppose to be the exception and not the rule. I encourage everyone who gets a schedule with reduced rest to email it to the FAA. I think thhey are on to something here and I think we can speed it up when we show them that regular schedules are being built with reduced rest. Reduced rest was designed to keep a flight schedule going when the last flight in is delayed due to other circumstances, not as a way to strategically build a schedule.

I also encourage you to write to your congressman on the issue.

 

"subject to certain limitations"

I happened to click on your guy's thread by mistake and saw your discussion on the NASA and other reports.

I would like to add a couple of comments. First, the quote up at the top of the post isn't as cut and dry as you might think. Keep in mind that the NASA report system was created for getting information out of the general aviation community.

I can tell you from personal experience that NASA seems to change when it involves a commercial pilots mistake. I had a gear up. And while sitting in the informal conference with my attorney and 2 FAA guys, it was stated rather nonchalantly in my opinion that the NASA report didn't really apply because it was a Commercial Operation and it was over a certain dollar damage thresh hold. I was totally blasted when my lawyer stated he realized that...money down the toilet.

I was cleared but after 2 more years and no aviation work for close to 7. (Bad pilot market and a medical issue)

Now the Airline system is pointed directly for us but keep in mind that if a controller reports you before you land, you are hosed. Most protection comes from being the First Source of information. Yes you get days to report but only if your sole source. If someone reports you, well you get a few days but things can get challenging after.

The best thing is to do both reports, but don't fool yourself into thinking you made it off scott free.

Sorry for bothering you guys and I sincerely hope things improve for you. Bye

 

I called the pass bureau last week and left my number for a call back requesting details on the extended benefits for us un-employed folks.... no call back. Does anybody know if these benefits continue to include buddy passes. Will call the cp office next.

Thanks.

 

According to Delta's Travelnet help site, I'm assuming it was written for furloughed Delta employees but I would certainly hope it applies to us. It said the furloughed employee would get unlimited S3B on Delta, and Delta Connection flights and eligible pass riders would get unlimited S3B passes with the yield fare.

Delta Recovery Plan and Delta Workforce Program Furloughed Employees Pass

This was copied and pasted from a table so it didn't come out just right.

 

Pass Benefits Extended

 

very good!!!

Thanks for the replies... now if I could only find a job

 

Today is my lucky day! When I got the mail, there was a large envelope from Comair. It was another Furlough Utility Calligraphy Kit, compliments of another chief pilot, with words of encouragement attached. Wow, I feel much better today than yesterday.

Which one should I use to apply for unemployment, the blue or black one?

 

We get a black one too? Is it wrong that I kind of like the pen...? I mean, it is a nice pen and it didn't explode in my shirt pocket at FL330. What more can I ask for in times like these?

 

It writes upside down!!
