Maybe it is 10...... Not really sure but my point was that when I have been assigned SC continuously they have always provided a break each 24 hour period. Just sayin.

They build those breaks in there to keep you legal for a domestic assignment.
Guys get confused ever since Whitlow. That rule does not apply to international.

Funny they would do that on the 744 as we don't have any domestic trips..... Maybe they do that because the schedulers don't know we don't fly domestic. Heck I got into a discussion a few months back with a scheduler + supervisor and neither knew that the shortest rotation we had at that time was 4 days and 25+ hours.

Yeah I wonder how often since 2008 we've had a plug that was in the ER? I don't think, and I could be wrong, there ever was a class of straight ER so as to have a plug hired into the ER position. If there was it would've happened in late 07 and there's a chance I vaguely remember of that happening. Don't know.

Aircraft orders
Anyone have any insight as to what Delta is waiting for in terms of placing an aircraft order? Seems a lot of aircraft slots are getting taken up by other airlines. I know we are in talks with all the manufacturers, but how hard can it be to figure out what aircraft type is going to work for us? Do you think Delta has figured out what they want & are now trying to negotiate the best price?

Boeing has made me lazy enough thank you. I don't want the airplane to do EVERYTHING for me. You can have the baguette.

Thanks for the info. I loved flying the old Stinson's. I flew two, one with a Franklin and the other was a super stinson. Here's an old pic from the beginning of my flight from SE Alaska to Eastern Washington....
