I live in West Texas and have my house for sale. I still plan to move to MSP. Is commuting a choice for me? House has been on the market 2 years well below appraised value.

I think it is just your line that is 72:30...... Management is upset that you were so outspoken against the TA.

Not too many posts past this one, and I don't know the answer but I can use it to segue to a another question about this topic:
Was on SC starting at 0900. Got a trip with an 1830 sign-in. A maintenance delay resulted in the flight finally going out at 2048 (Not that it mattered, but I had been at the airport since 0745 that morning due to all the other flights for the day being over-booked).
The rotation showed an ACTUAL ON DUTY of 5:59 and a MAX DUTY of 10:15 (I ended up with a duty day of 14:59 that day). I was concerned if there was anything other than 16 hrs (15:30 before push, I believe) to be concerned with so I called scheduling and they said no flags were showing up and I was good to do the trip. I guess I was, but this post made me think of it again. Does the MAX DUTY DAY (even going past 2 hrs) not apply to Reserves?

Although, I was told the other day living in base is a choice or something because if you get MD'd off your equipment to a smaller paying one then that's your fault for not commuting to a higher paying one. So commuting or not commuting is a choice and will be used against you in whatever way is necessary to the it's all your fault narrative.
So just remember, going to work is a choice. You choose to do it. And everything that happens after that is all your fault.

No, its correct. Under the new scheduling rules your projection or guarantee is reduced by vacation training etc. What you see is your guarantee there minus those two reserve days that you will be in training; pro ratta. They are correct.

You are confusing Whitlow with the contract. Your duty day contractually always starts at the report of your trip. Whitlow is a add on rule as a result of the American Accident in Little Rock. It requires that in any 24 hour period you can look back and find 8 hours of rest from any company requirements including answering the phone on reserve. That limits reserve to 16 hours max as a practical matter. Whitlow does not apply to international.

Being the second day under this contract, why is the old contract still on the DELTAnet homepage?
