i looked at 117 and it says you cant be assigned reserve or a duty during the 30 hour rest, which makes me think they cant put you on long call. Im on a trip overseas and cant call scheduling to get the straight poop.
thanks

Several of the responses here are incorrect. While it is true that you are under no obligation to check your schedule prior to the end of the 30-hr rest, if you commute it may be a good idea to do so. Treat the 30-hr rest as you would any other x-day prior to the start of reserve on-call days. If scheduling places something (SC or a trip) on your schedule prior to 9-hrs prior to the end of your 30-hr break, then you may be obligated to report as soon as 10-hrs following the end of your 30-hr break. However, if nothing is on your schedule at the 9-hr point, then you default to LC when your rest ends.

The above assumes that you were not notified of an assignment to follow prior to the start of your 30-hr break.

Also, if you are overseas, download Skype or another VOIP app to your smartphone or computer, or just use the WIFI calling feature if you have it. 800-calls to the US (scheduling and DALPA) are free.

Theoretically yes, but I don't think there is any way to do that with our existing coverage sequences. How could they "notify" a reserve of a trip 30 hours our that they aren't even supposed to have covered yet?

So basically 30 is either 40 or 42, depending on if its SC or LC. I don't see any way around that.

The one way around it apparently is if you have a ys in. Caught me a little off guard but it worked out.

This is absolutely correct. Just talked to ALPA Scheduling about this very subject last week......

Can someone give me a POC for an on-the-job injury? Currently sitting in urgent care in the middle of a rotation.

Apparently falling passengers, escalators and my knee don't agree with each other (or my slacks).

Thanks in advance.

Call the Duty Pilot. They will get you the answer and get everyone in the loop with what's going on (Chief Pilots, Scheduling etc etc)

Ouch, hope it isn't too bad and you heal up quick. Duty pilot for sure.

I finish training on the 23 of September. I would like to know what is suggested for biding that last week of September. I don't think I'll get an OE trip right off the bat, and won't be qualified until I do. Should I just bid the most credit I can?
