Altrnate Crew Pairing model at ASA

[JoeMerchant]

I don't think our numbers were hurt that bad in July (or was it June, I can't remember when we last did it.)

The 9 hour rest will create delays in the morning for rest....

The whole 10-hour rest thing may not be a big deal, because Delta (and every other airline out there) will change their marketing schedule to reflect the new rest rules.

Airplanes won't necessarily sit on the ground any longer, but marketing schedules will eventually be designed around crew rest needs rather than treating them as an afterthought.

It will result in shorter days, and more days at work....It will also result in only the very short naps (ie the least amount of rest) being legal...

The way I read the memo, there would be MORE, not less, four day trips for the February schedule. More variety, whatever that means. Don't get where you are going with this; I think you misunderstood.

Pull up the PDF file of FEB sch and you will see the difference.

I just didn't like giving 10 FA briefings during a 4-day, but I'm used to it. I had trouble with it in the summer and half the time scheduling had no idea what was going on until I called up there to ask where the FA was. As for the 9 hour layovers I suspect even more fatigue calls above the 800% increase in the last few years that Les told us about in RGT.

Print up your briefing on a 8 x 11 card and just give it to them then verify the code word. That's it!

Tons of three days next month on 200. Should take some of the pain away of switching crews.

Thank you for taking the time to look before making a comment.

More impoertantly we lost 23 lines from Jan. Flying is disappearing while we argue over this other stuff.

That would be the IAD flying

Most went to IAD....Some was lost because of the 6 airplanes that don't have flying...This isn't news...

 

[79%N1]

Its news to me, as many of us are stranded on reserve forever.

Last summer's "experiment" with this crap did not work out well for me either! Did any of you geehaws notice that we missed our performance goals for that month? For what reason? -So they wouldn't have had to hire a new class of FAs. Complete bone-headed stuff.

-The only guys I didn't hear complaining were the nappers, and or course-the eternal few who chug the Kool-Aid.

You said we "lost" 23 lines of flying.

1. Actually, 22 of those lines were transferred to IAD...We did not "lose" (or loose) them.

2. One line was lost on the 50. Not bad.

3. We "move" more to IAD in May, and "lose" a little more in May...Don't want that to catch you off guard either...

What did you actually expect when 10 aircraft are taken out of the Delta system....Actually 22 if you count the ATRs that left a year ago...

The remaining six airplanes don't come offline til August.

The -700 has lost a bunch of lines also....is this due to the First Class mod's?
