Absolutely. I've had positive interactions and experiences with the guys in scheduling and CA.

On the Super Bowl thing, like most big games it will probably come down to;

1. Turnovers
2. Penalties

Just ask Sherman or Crabtree about that!

And if you are Alabama;

3. Last second field goal attempts.
Saban standard time = set your watch back 1 second.

Charity? Not hardly. I'm not sure how you got that. I am saying they do their job and, based on the money they rightfully put back in our pockets, they do it well. I agree that we pay for that service.

Speaking of- what is the min sit time for us to be required to be given a hotel? I got rerouted into a 4:55 one yesterday (while descending through 11,000 feet back into mecca... talk about a distraction- probably should ASAP that one). I didn't particularly mind it since my parents were passing through trying to get home and it was nice getting to spend time with them.
Section 5 E.1.d looks like it would cover both of these. Timbo is right on the 5 hours.

1. The Company will provide adequate and comfortable single occupancy lodging for a pilot who is:
.......
d. at a station (at or away from base) at which the pilot is scheduled for block-in to block-out time of more than five hours (upon the pilot’s request).

You don't get a hotel if you are a RES and you end up getting a domicile layover during a rotation....just REG pilots get those.

I think the reg says 5 hours but here's my story. Sign in at 0030 for a GDL turn. No CA. Do multiple preflights and board/unboard jet twice anticipating a CA show. Finally, at 6.:00 AM I call crew tracking, tell them out out on my feet and need to crash for few hours. They hook me up with the airport Hilton where I get three hours or so of sleep and an ironed uni. Huge relief!
