FDX 757 Open Time
#12
And IND. B757 taxied in behind me in IND a couple weeks ago and they rode the bus in with us - those guys dress as we all should - polo shirts and khakis! They were telling us that they were to do the FAA proving runs last week and/or this week, and start revenue service early Aug.

MPDP-1
Duty periods during a trip, when such trip contains at least one layover, shall have an MPDP-1 of 3 CH.
MPDP-2
A duty period comprised exclusively of a trip which departs and returns to base in the same duty period shall have an MPDP-2 of 6 CH.
No layover, it looks to me like the trip should pay 6 hours.
Most Test guys are on a pay only status, so they are paid their line guarantee for the month regardless of what the trips pay. If they work more hours than their RLG/BLG then they would get draft for the overage.
In this case it looks like the pairing is being built for scheduling purposes and the pilots who actually fly the trips, if they are real trips, are going to get paid their BLG/RLG regardless. Those pairings, if flown, however, should be worth 6 hours.

Where do FDX's airplanes park at DCA, down by the Banjo or on the Signature ramp?
I was based at DCA until late November, so all of this is news to me...I can think of an AWAC guy that lives in Memphis now that is probably always begging for a ride!
