NMD at ASA

[bigshooter107]

Got a call about this little jewel yesterday, NMD on a reserve schedule. It means no min day credit for a reserve pilot. Part of the PBS agreement. It's one thing when a line holder picks up a trip that he/she knows is not worth min day but for a res guy to get assigned that while struggling to break 75 is pretty crappy.

If that's true there better be a grievance filed on this yesterday! A reserve has no control over whether or not a trip is split.

Fight the good fight, no one else cares until they are on reserve.

What does "Rainmaker" show? SkedPlus, trip pairings, and Rainmaker tend to show different things.

I have a hard time believing that a reserve would lose out on Min Day Credit.

This had BETTER NOT be true! If so, that is the BIGGEST bunch of crap ever handed down and EVERY reserve had best call their reps and the JCBA group immediately! Reserves have NO control over being assigned a trip, and ALWAYS have been assigned broken up trips! To rip them off of min day is REPREHENSIBLE!!!

I'm betting that rainmaker is putting it in this way, and they are hoping you wont catch it, or they are too stupid to realize it is happening.

I'm sure we will hear about it being another "glitch" in the system.

3. Pick-up, Swap, and Trade Minimum Day Pay Application
2
3 a. A pilot initiating and awarded the split of a pairing will not be entitled to
4 minimum day credit. The splitting of a pairing with open time or the
5 splitting of a pairing on his final schedule will result in a pilot not receiving
6 minimum day credit only on the day(s) in which the split occurred.
7
8 b. A pilot will receive minimum day pay credit if the Company initiates a split
9 of a pairing in open time.

This is from the PBS LOA..

How are NMD pairing even showing up for reserves? Did somebody pick one up, then call in sick for it?

8 b. A pilot will receive minimum day pay credit if the Company initiates a split
9 of a pairing in open time.

So let's say a pilot splits up a trip, then calls in sick for it. Technically the company didn't "initiate" the split. Hope that's not another one of those loopholes big enough to drive a truck through.
