ASA Crew Utilization

[FishandFly]

In an instance like this where the company is wrong to not change us to a downtown location, what is the punishment to the company when they lose the grievance?

A retroactive overnight, just this time at a downtown location. Imagine how much fun you'll have on your second 58-hour tour of Florence when you stay downtown (which is exactly where, anyway?)

To bad that the Ford Escort Shaggin' crew wagon with all the defer stickers is no longer around. Could have fun with that one. Bring the camera for a good time! Oh the good ole days....

I remember that thing. The last time I drove it was in GTR (heard an intern got to do the repo) over two years ago. No interior lights and parked in a dark corner of the parking lot. To read the directions to the hotel taped to the dash we had to drive a well lit part of the parking lot and memorize them. (to lazy to pull a flashlight out of our bags)

thats quality

Thats a great point. We need to be careful what we wish for in some of these cities. I can't say I have been downtown FLO, but driving past it, I think we are better off near the mall where we are now. At least there are a few options.

Kind of like the 3 day MCN that was blocked for less than 1.5. I did it once in 56 minutes block with 35+ TAFB. Except that was a normally scheduled pairing, not a holiday one.

 

[No Delay]

MFE is a great place! 15 mins to the border. Ask for Boys Town!

The hotel in MCN is a HOLE. Last month, there were three floors that were closed to the public because of 'water damage'...

There's dirt ground into the carpet that predates the Clinton comradeship (the first one...)

 

[CFI2766]

I have a better idea. Grab your new FO, a case of beer, some hookers, then raise hell.

You talk about the industry going south. I'm sure TWA, Pan Am, etc... Had no problem knocking down 58 hours...

It's all fun and games until one (or two) dead hookers wind up stowed away in the donkey d!ck compartment for the ride home.....

I have a nice 36 hour MCN layover... Score.

 

[FmrFreightDog]

Have the rigs been implemented yet??

 

[Oakum_Boy]

That's what I want to know. And for those in the know, do the rigs kick in for the day or two you spend in the hotel, or is only if you fly that day? Thanks.

 

[centralpilot]

Have the rigs been implemented yet??

As I understand it, the rigs will not be implemented until the January 2008 bid cycle (effectively February 1). Once in effect, the minimum day credit applies to calendar days away from domicile, including full days at the hotel.

 

[Airboss]

I believe duty rigs start Jan 30 (1st day of Feb Schedule) or if they start earlier the underblock ends then too.

 

[Oakum_Boy]

Where will one be will able to see the credit for the day/trip? Will it be on Flica when bidding? Also, for the gurus, will rigs be applicable toward the 75 hrs when trying to bid for a vacation month?

 

[ehaecker]

I had 42 hours in Hilton Head - 3 times this month.

They're supposed to be listing sick credits on our pay checks too. They don't. I called in sick, and even scheduling said they had no idea how much sick time I had. Then they put me down sick unpaid. Nice.

That $1.60 per hour doesn't go very far at Turtles.

 

[dash8driver64]

Well I just got the FLO 4day put onto my reserve schedule. That is fine with me I guess. Flo is 4.5 hours from home in atl. I now have new yrs eve and day off. at 1.60 an hour plus time off that scheduling would have broken it off in my a** anyway. All I can say is thanks I will enjoy the time with my new fiancee in atl

§14.F. Accrued Sick Leave Credit Report
The Company will provide an automated system for reporting sick leave usage and accrued sick leave as described in §14.F. within twelve (12) months of the date of signing. The Company will provide an individual report with semi-annual updates until the automated system described in § 14.F. is in place. The first individual report will be provided within thirty (30) days of the date of signing.

It used to be on CrewWeb when we had that, and also at the bottom of the final schedules. Neither one has sick time listed now.
