Management and the Association agree that flying to Hawaii is not Trans-Oceanic. What I think has nothing to do with it.
Section 12
Hours of Service
3.
Trans-Oceanic: When a pilot is scheduled within the above
limitations on a trans-ocean flight, the duty requirement which
he need not exceed shall be increased to sixteen hours(16).
D.
Rest
...
b. Trans-Oceanic: When a pilot is assigned to fly a transocean
flight, his on-duty period may not be broken by anto block-out.
off-duty period of less than fourteen hours (14) block-in
The company and the globe would say you were incorrect.
Thanks for the reference on rest. I'm glad we don't have to fly beyond 14 hours of duty.
Change of subject for ignousy.......
The preliminary bid is out and shows 39 a330 f/o slots for new hires, 36 going to the 767 and 22 going to the 717.
Nine 717 Capts are around the 4 yr mark and one 767 Capt was hired about 4 years ago. That would be Mimi Thompkins, ex AQ who was flying the AQ 737 that blew it's top back in the 90's.
Another smaller bid is supposed to come out later this year that will reflect the addition of one more a330 being added beyond the 5 that this bid is meant to cover.
They are looking for more A330's beyond the 16 coming over the next three years. They have slowed the rate they were scheduled to retire the 767's.
Beyond all the above, it's anybody's guess what the future holds. Every new city we add does well so far, we appear to have a strong management team and Dunkerley knows what he is doing. They continue to increase their cash every qtr all the while they are not afraid to invest in the airlines future and infrastructure. A lot of cash is used for making purchases that will pay of down the road.
Great to hear for Mimi!!! Flew w her husband at AK before he retired and she met us in Sfo to hang right after aloha folded. Talk about someone with great stories and as tough as they come! She was the first woman hired into a 121 jet that didnt start as an FE. Alot of us could learn about how tough this industry can be from her!!!

KR is hanging on as a very senior 330 F/O. The seat lock expires before this bid's activation, so it isn't an issue.
