Default Leg Cancelled

I have an international trip next month with it saying the first leg is cancelled, however it is still showing on Travelnet, but with a different Flt number. I thought it might be an equipment sub but it still shows my fleet? If I try to pull up Pilot Names via I-crew it spouts some gibberish about "No data check microfiche." I am thinking maybe an equipment sub that hasn't updated yet on Travelnet.

I assume just changing the flight number would not qualify as a reroute since the times are exactly as on my bid award.

Anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks Scoop

Did you make an appointment to visit the dungeons of the mothership so that you can check the microfiche cache? What are you waiting for?

I haven’t seen this in a while but it happened a lot around 2016. They (marketing) decided they liked some different flight numbers so changed a bunch of them. Most rotations were updated a few days before report. Kind of like a hotel change since the flight times and everything were identical and only the number changed. I did have one that didn’t get fixed. We showed and it says leg canceled but the flight is still going on a different flight number. Go to the gate and try to scan on…we can’t. Gate agent says no pilots assigned to this flight number. Calls ops to fix it. Next thing we know, two guys show up…just got rerouted to fly this leg that for some reason had no pilots assigned. Called crew tracking to ask wtf. Ended up deadheading to rejoin the rotation.

I would call scheduling and go fishing. Say they cancelled first leg so trip should be dropped. Have screenshots. Yeah, they may simply be changing flight number but that shouldn’t show up as a cancelled leg.

Cancelled leg = IROP

IROP = 23K

So the rotation showing could be the "new" 23K recovery assignment.

Got an answer from HR. Upgrade priority is based on date of hire regardless of if retired or active. So, retired can go ahead of active if their hire date is earlier. Which, obviosely, it often is.

The PS passes either don't expire, or you book it before you retire but fly after you retire.

There was an assortment of passes handed out over the years. I think some at the NW/DL merger. Then an IT meltdown in ATL that caused a massive disruption for all employees. Some were given out for Covid efforts. Some were given to pilots who took the early retirement.

Initially they had expiration dates and precluded best available (1st class) seating. Many (all) of those that were awarded became non-expiry and available for use in retirement(Technically they expire when you expire...no right of survival). Lots of rules but you can give them away to peeps on your pass rider list. Sometimes you can give them away to anybody but they must be accompanied by you or someone on your pass rider list. I think pilots that have been here 10is years might have gotten 3 tranches of 2 tickets per event. A few more if you took the early retirement package.

That's the "big picture" that is prolly 80% accurate.

Default Sit Pay

My rotation was built with 0.16 min of Sit Pay. A reroute resulted in a sit of 5.03 min yet my timecard closed with only 0.16 Addtl Pay. Is Sit Pay as built or as flown? PWA 12.S does not specify. Anyone?
