Don't worry. Research was done. It was discovered very few pilots actually come close to ALV. Oh yeah, the staffing formula has not changed. This will not require less pilots. You are an exception. Just over a year from now, you will be able to sit 7 short calls. No big deal though. Research was done on that too. Very few pilots actually sit 6 short calls in a month.
True, but in international categories those 24 hr periods will be 14 and pilots will sit most if not all of the seven.
In the last three months I have had two that went to six SC's. This month I sat six by the 15th. Its all legal, but we should be, at a min, getting suit up pay for every SC sat. It now goes against RAW, but there is no true credit for it.

Maybe you will get lucky. 70% change of TRW's today. Nice out, layo and back should take care of ya.
* Don't forget, we are over staffed right now. Wait until the retirements kick in with the need for less pilots per block hr. At that time, you will really work.

While I'm at it, I was on SC at 0430- this trip ends at 2130 tonight. That's way over 16 hours, but the last leg is a dhd... how is this legal? Scheduling said it is since the last leg is a dhd, but that doesn't sound quite right...
I know at my previous company it would not have been...

Would this make 80 an ungrateful deadhead?

I'm kind of teasing.
What I believe is it right. One time I timed out and they pulled me out of the cockpit (not physically) and found an FO walking off another airplane and put him in my place and put me in the back and I deadheaded to DTW. So I went beyond 16 hours.
I'll go double check the PWA, unless Bill Lumberg wants to look for you.

I just said approach briefing complete, hold my beer, brace for impact because I could never remember what the half thing stood for.
