A bit off subject, but speaking of scheduling "got-cha"....We were running behind schedule, trying to catch-up. Did a turn-around in just under :30, and were rewarded 1:00 extra pay for the hustle-up. I didn't know that this incentive even existed. All you narrow-body guys, you can thank my able-bodied F/O for this.
That's an actual contract thing too?
Hmmmm.

Anyone know if a "voluntary displacement" incurs a 2 year seatlock?

I wonder what the chances are of my flight into JFK tomorrow night operating. 
The lights are all still OTS.

Our Pan Am pilots wouldn't have any issue with LGA in its current state.

From the DALPA blast mail that went out today. This assuming you have not already reported for the rotation. If you have, a whole other set of rules applies....
If he is removed from the first leg of a rotation, he must remain available for recovery flying as follows:
· If he is notified of the removal before reporting for the original rotation,
o He has no obligation to be contactable prior to the original report time. He
is essentially on short call beginning at the original report time and continuing for six hours, unless he is notified of a recovery assignment or released by Crew Scheduling prior to six hours.
o He may be notified, prior to the original report, of a recovery assignment. He is under no contact obligation, but may acknowledge such recovery assignment and then report at the scheduled report time for the recovery rotation.
o He may be assigned flying that reports on any day of the original rotation, but not earlier than his original report, and releases not later than four hours after his original release. An international category pilot may be assigned recovery flying scheduled to release not later than four hours after his original release, or same calendar day, provided the last duty period of the recovery flying contains an ocean crossing.
o If no recovery flying has been assigned by six hours after the original report time, the pilot is released with no further recovery obligation and retains full pay of the original rotation. The pilot is then free to pickup flying over the days of the original rotation and be paid for both rotations.
Also....
A regular pilot will be released from Section 23 K. recovery obligation if
· He requests to be released, and
· Waives his rotation guarantee, and
· Crew Scheduling agrees.
A regular pilot will be released from Section 23 K. recovery obligation if
· He requests to be released, and
· Waives his rotation guarantee, and
· The time until originally scheduled report is greater than 24 hours, and
· Reserves available are at least 50% of reserves required.

I did not get the white-slip for tomorrow - and the reason is: "does not meet contractual time limits". So.... is this a scheduling mistake, or is the above info not correct? Just curious!

Is anyone out there familiar with minimum line guarantee?
I'm stuck in AMS now (I know, woe is me), with a 48 hour layover that's become a 98 hour layover. My original trip was due back before the end of the month, but the reroute is a transition trip.
My original monthly projection was 67 hours. Now, since the new trip pays mostly next month, my projection is 56 hours. I haven't modified my line from what I was initially awarded. Does the line guarantee of 65 hours apply here? The way I read it, the answer seems to be yes, but a second opinion is always nice...
Thanks. (I don't want to make a call to ALPA; they've got more important things to do right now.)

But you see gentlemen, these pilots are now fertilizing daffodils.
However, if you fly the ER out of New York, you'll have the opportunity to see their flight attendants on a trip. So make sure you ask to carry all seven of their bags up the jetway stairs, because it may get you somewhere.
Just like it worked for those Pan Am pilots who are now fertilizing daffodils.
Carpe diem.

I was not assigned any recovery flying, and today I requested another white-slip for a trip departing tomorrow. Original WS that was 23K'd was 30Oct-1Nov. According to the info above, I should have been able to pick up another trip on any of those days if i was not assigned anything within 6 hours of my check-in.
I did not get the white-slip for tomorrow - and the reason is: "does not meet contractual time limits". So.... is this a scheduling mistake, or is the above info not correct? Just curious!
