The Delta pilot group never had to vote on a offer like the American pilots were voting on. Even the 1113 contract at Delta was far better in most areas then what AMR is trying to force on the pilots. The single giant difference being duration but every other section except pay is far worse.

Out of pilots?
Tomorrow I start my 12th straight day of flying. All trips with strategic 24 hour breaks sprinkled in. Reserve with no yellow slip activated. I'm already over 60 hours credit with 10 days to go. CS said to expect the reign of terror for the rest of the month. We are out of pilots in my category. After my 3 day I'll be at 14 days straight flying with no end in sight. I've never worked this hard in an airplane before. My guess is 110 credit on reserve when they're through having their way with me.
Bring on the new hires before this place starts melting down further!!

If its not rest, then it breaks up the lookback. That's why if you don't check your schedule during your 24 hour FAR rest, as soon as that rest is over, that is a break in your rest. If you have a report 5 hours later that's fine, but the break in your rest triggers the lookback and is therefore functionally the same as duty. They can't have it both ways. They just can't.
It doesn't apply to me anyhow, but very interestingly, there is an internal co. memo floating around about the (im)practicality of 24 hour shortcall for ULH crews. It is very illuminatig about how the company looks at it - and IMO, it is a factual and honest viewpoint the company takes.
If you are an ULH pilot that sits reserve sometimes, the memo is not "readily available." tic
