About time.
They love doing this to commuters.

Indeed

23.S.6. A long call pilot who is assigned a rotation or converted to short call:
a. prior to release from a rotation, must acknowledge such assignment or conversion prior to release.
b. via telephone contact or electronic placement on his schedule on his last non-fly day (other than a vacation day) before an on-call day, must acknowledge such assignment or conversion no later than:
1) three hours before the scheduled report of the rotation, or
2) one hour before the scheduled start of the short call period.

Have you guys heard about the latest addition to the 'express' fleet for Delta? Only one seat, so there is no hope of seeing it at mainline.

Just FYI during the first 7 days of Jan the Delta Pilot Network will be phone available 24/7 for all questions related to Part 117. There will be a 117 presentation on the Scheduling Committee page, and there are plans to have an online webinar available. A pilot will have the option to participate once per week.

May I ask how it is you get this information? Are you an ALPA insider?

What are the PCS limits for 30/7? I have two trips that bring me to 29:15; I want to swap for a trip that brings me to 29:42. It will not let me do it. I am guessing 29:30 is limit. If so, will it let me swap it if I go 12 minutes under block while flying first trip?

And this would be negotiating gold if we didn't have an enabling pilot group who will, for the most part, regard SD's memo as the new law of the land. That said, kudos to ALPA for taking a hard line on this.

True. Realistically, most of the pilot group will adhere to SD's memo and fall over themselves to check their schedules every two hours.

As good little white-collar wannabes, we must always ask ourselves:

If it's after the first, there is no more 30/7. I've got a trip that takes me to above 32/7.

This month, if you underblock to reach 29:30, then your swap should be approved.
