FDO Question.
 

Can you be assigned a trip that begins on an FDO? I have a gouge that say no, but I can't find any contractual mentions of it anywhere.

Thanks.

I believe you are correct, can't start a trip on a FDO.

No the trip can not start on your FDO.

VFDO make at least 2.5/day in Premium Pay. $

for the contractual reference:

20-K-3-c-(1) A reserve assignment shall not begin on a scheduled day off, unless the day off is a VDO.

And FDO is listed under :

5-E-6 Types of Reserve Days Off
5-E-6-a RDO (Regular Day Off): a reserve day off, found only in a Global Reserve’s schedule, that may be disrupted for the assignment of a Global Trip.
Page 66
5-E-6-b HDO (Holy Day Off): a reserve day off that may not be disrupted for the assignment of a trip.
5-E-6-c FDO (Flexible Day Off): a reserve day off that, for a Basic or Global Reserve, may be disrupted for the assignment of a Basic Trip and, for a Global Reserve, may be disrupted for the assignment of a Global Trip. Without the concurrence of the Pilot and the Company, an FDO may only be placed on the first day of a period of days off and may not be placed after a period of six (6) days of reserve availability or on a golden day off as defined in Section 5-E-9.

Thank you sir.. I appreciate it! I wasn't seeing the two sections together to appropriately correlate it!
