Wow, a professional aviator. One of the simplest duties as a proffesional pilot. If you were one of my pilots, you would be out the door.

You gotta admit... Changing out all of your Memphis or Denver plates is a bit of a pain in the butt every time they decide to change an atis, clearance, approach, departure frequency or re-index the charts.
No offense Sir...just sayin'

I don't know about American, but I know for a fact that united monitors what you do, so it's not unheard of.

Correct me if I'm wrong guys - In a nutshell looks like they won't be habitually putting pilots on ready reserve after flights but instead releasing them back to de facto 90 minute short call - however it will not be defined as short call. It will be defined as staying in the same FDP they were just flying under. (parking brake doesn't end a FDP for a reserve pilot, only a lineholder). According to email put out by both company and union, remaining in this FDP status will obligate the pilot to be available for further assignment exactly as though they were on short-call reserve and they will remain in this de facto short call status until the expiration of their FDP as calculated by the table.
Is this how ya'll interpret the recent emails?

Yes, without the ready reserve pay at the end! It doesn't seem right at all...
What I want to know is if anyone is getting close to their max duty hours for the rolling 28 days?

Yes sir! I got the call this past week, the same day they announced the extra 900s coming online, and the recruiter asked if I could make a Feb 20 class. That's not quite enough time given my situation so I got placed in the March 13 class. He said they had the Feb class closed out previously but were a few extra slots. Also I believe he said something about a total of ten 900s coming online but don't quote me on that.
