How's that torpedo treating you tonight? I saw that sam adams just came out with a hoppier IPA. I'm going to have to check that out.
Don't forget my personal favorite. Don't get greedy.

Quick question....

Anyone who has converted to a new category lately remember how much notice you were given before officially starting training?

I've seen my projected training date, but was just curious as to how early I could expect to get the official training schedule. I'd figure at least a month or so, but not sure.

I remember "stay humble", and I remember getting teary-eyed over the backpack story (and who can forget gatehouse PA's?), but I don't remember "greed". Not since it was mentioned by Gordon Gecko.

What was said about greed?

Training must be posted by the 5th the month prior.

Search function on Deltanet home page--type "backpack." The memo is the first search result.

So according to some I have to check my schedule by 3pm the day before I start reserve even though you can't be required to check it, you're supposed to check it.

What if the day before I am gone to the mountains til 10pm? No way to check.

A friend of mine handed me a Ruthless Rye IPA (also Sierra) last weekend claiming it was "as good as Torpedo". Skeptically, I agreed to try it (in the name of science, of course). It was good, very smooth. I'd recommend it.

Check it before 2am base time.

PWA 23.S.1.d.2

S. Reserve Pilots

1. A reserve pilot will:

d. be required to check his schedule via DBMS or VRU:
1) after block-in of the last flight segment of his rotation prior to his release (see Section 12 G. 13. – 14.), and
2) no later than 0200 base time on his first on-call day following a non-fly day, so as to be able to acknowledge:
a) any assignment no later than three hours before a scheduled report of the rotation or start of a short call period, or
b) the start of a rest period.
Exception one: If such last non-fly day ends at a time other than 2400, the pilot will check his schedule no later than two hours after the end of such non-fly day.
Exception two: For purposes of Section 23 S 1. d. 2), a non-fly day will not include a day on which the pilot is on vacation.
That is what you MUST do. Anything prior to that requirement is at your discretion. The requirements of FAR 117 are more restrictive than this and the Company is required to comply with BOTH, not disregard the PWA. The list of pilots who will be part of the group grievance (or get paid as a result of an LOA as part of negotiations) is growing.

Follow the contract to the best of your understanding and within the confines of PWA language. When in doubt, call 1-800-USA-ALPA or email [email protected].
