Not necessarily. 1998 - 2000 hire, depending on which side of the merger you came from.
For those that don't know, there is a DOH disparity throughout the list depending on which side of the merger you came from, so using that as a touchstone will yield inaccurate results.
NOT saying...
Right now, "it depends".
Current upgrades have been in the mid-8000 range, which is 15-17 years, depending on which side of the merger you came from.
Even if it dips down to 9000, that's still 13-15 years.

Yea, the Tri-Rail works OK if the schedule actually meets what you need to do. The bus ride from the station in FLL to the airport borders on ridiculous, though.
Many rental car outfits rent one way in FL, with little or no drop off fee. I did MCO to FLL for about $30, but the facility...
That's interesting. Assuming before 117 you had some kind of duty restrictions more restrictive than just the plain FARs, did the company require you to file a fatigue report if you walked because of contractual limits?

Agree. Interpretation at different shops are all over the map on this. I've heard stories that some at the regionals that failure to extend is being treated punitively (removal from the trip and sent down the fatigue track).
The FAA was pretty clear on this. Extensions are only to be used for...
That is simply saying in designing the actual final rule, the FAA thought providing a 30 minute buffer for each FDP was appropriate and reasonable. They are supporting their decision process as opposed to what was published in the NPRM.
However, the actual mechanism of extending the FDP for...
I'd like to see your evidence of that.
FAR 117.19 (nor the Federal Register Clarifications) makes no mention of what you are saying. It simply says that extensions UP TO 2 hours require both the PIC and company concurrence.
Once you are beyond 30 minutes, other items come into...
I would add that you can't use the old statistics for guys going early for medical issues.
While you would think that going early for medical reasons would be fairly cut and dried, the reality is that it isn't.
Back in the day, say 1999, lets use the example of a 57 YO dude (or dudette)...
MSP usually goes more senior than DTW or NYC, but it's fairly junior otherwise.
Decent base. Decent mix of flying, but the 757/767 is the biggest thing there. For the 330 and larger, you'll need to go elsewhere.
MSP has a surprisingly high cost of living if you are unfamiliar.

There's no national bargaining under the NLRA. Each crew base would have to be organized individually AND negotiate it's own contract.
You think regional vs regional whipsawing is bad, wait until your see LAX vs ORD. Gee, the airline doesn't like your contract, oops, your flying just got moved...

I'll see your 12 year old APC mats, and raise you 25 year old FAPA reference materials. To their credit, back in those pre-intrawebz days, that was pretty much the only way word got around...at least in the civilian world. Unless you were juiced in somewhere, that's how you got your info. Mil...
The FAA just put out their first interpretation of the rules in repsonse to questions asked by airlines and pilot groups.
IMHO, the FAA interpretations are amazingly strict.
No legal to start, legal to finish. "Legal for flight" means legal at the start of takeoff, NOT block out...so if you...
Wrong forum. Over on Ahe Pee See, the "Latest and Greatest" Delta thread is nearly six years old, with over 122,000 replies and 14 million views.
This thread isn't even a rounding error in comparison.
