Default A new trick from schedules

Check out MD-11 F/O (RFO) pairing 2208 on 31 Aug. It goes over to Europe, then goes thru MEM on it's way over to Asia. What did I miss. I always thought that when you hit MEM, the trip was over. I called ALPA and they sounded just as surprised. Anyone ever seen this?

Looks like ALPA must have earned their pay today. It's already revised. No more turn.

Good catch. Is it an LAX or ANC trip now or broken into 2 MEM trips?

I flew a similar trip in May, and I'm leaving on another one on 31 August (LAX 2039 30Aug). My upcoming trip goes to Hawaii, but my last trip went to NRT. Neither trip was disputed (obviously) and really, I don't consider them that difficult. I get a 40 hour layover in CGN, then a 40 hour layover in MEM before continuing to HNL.
I'm an LAX guy, so maybe the MEM thing isn't an issue. Either way, it isn't a difficult trip.

If you're an LAX guy, then MEM is just another layover city. However, you shouldn't transit LAX on the same pairing. Same goes for an ANC crew member transiting ANC.

If you had just kept your yap shut you could have touched base.....called skeds....and said ..."oh by the way....I'm done". Then watched the scramble-ex.... and at the right time, let them know you are availible for draft for the remainder.......graduate level pairing managment. Good luck.

Well there you have it then. Makes sense.

What about a CDG guy transiting CDG? He's domiciled in MEM, right?

Never mind...He's still "based" in CDG.

Yet another benefit to the company for a HKG base vs. CAN. They can turn the HKG guys all week long through CAN since they won't be based there.
Nice.
