Trying to drop two 4day trips with three day IVD. Placed IVD days on the last day of first trip and first day of second trip. Both should have enough reserve coverage for IVD. Second trip is carryout. Get error saying "dropped days exceed limit or are not".... on the status page after PCS.

Is there a problem Houston?

TIA....

That will require two separate IVD drops. A single IVD (of any length) can be used to drop a single trip (of any length), or multiple trips of up to the number of IVD days used total (must be consecutive).

AA & APA left it as a “we’ll look into that” sort of thing. So I’m expecting nothing, but very curious. *eye roll*

Thanks

It's hard to say for sure but I think the trips are better, or at least the days usually seem more balanced, i.e. three 8 hour duty days instead of two 5 hour days with a 12 in the middle. BUT we still have plenty of long days and we still have plenty of the unbalanced trips so they certainly haven't disappeared. Someone probably has real data on this but not me.

As far as pay I'm seeing anywhere from less than an hour (good, no long days) to some months 6-8 hours (good, extra pay). Also, keep in mind that includes our SIT pay and if you have a delay the EDP really helps. It's no longer 'free' for you to do a rolling delay out to a 12 hour duty day so that's a big improvement. All in all, highly recommended.

EDP and L.4 reroute pay are two of the best additions to the PWA this last contract.

I agree. Better clarity for reroute pay and EDP on the longer days has been really good so far. I'll add that the sit pay has not eliminated long sits, but there are far less of them than there were previously IMO.

There is no production balance anymore with routes to JV territories. Our JVs can continue to takeover our routes we fly today. So long as we move the WB they displace somewhere in Europe, SA, Asia/Oceania or Hawaii. I would expect a smaller share of DL metal flying within JV routes going forward.
