Clearly I'm talking with a brick wall. Never mind. :rolleyes:
 
Having to take a red eye is not a commutable trip. If you're not getting home the same day your trip ended, then you're losing a day off. Suddenly an 18 day off line is really a 14 day off line.

So, when I have a Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday pairing and I leave for work on Tuesday, work that day and the next two then spend Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday at home I have somehow altered the space time continuum?

I'm not losing a day off, because I actually worked the last day of the trip so it was never a "day off" to begin with since it already included a duty period.
 
When you spend all night flying back to the east coast on a red eye and don't get home until 7am, no, that's not a day off. But like I said, brick wall. :rolleyes:

If it's not a day off, what exactly do you classify a 24 hour period in which you do not go to work and is spent at your place of residence?
 
24-7=17

No, doesn't look like 24 hours at home to me. :rolleyes:

I am not sure why the SWA pilots are trying to debate with you

They are using the actual bid packet numbers .

You are just making numbers up.


We fly 5 days a month and get paid 125 hours.

When in LBB( which is all the time per GL)the Texas Tech girls take us to there sorority parties :)



Now try to beat that. :)

Landing in MSP at 6am and then driving to Maple Grove by 7am still is work related Howie, you have to do it for work. It's different then a one hour drive home after getting off your own plane.

As I said before, your looking at the wrong city pair and the wrong base. Keep searching Junior Sherlock and maybe you'll come up with it.

As it stands I spend more waking hours at my home than I would any other way albeit with a little less sleep than I would like but luckily I sleep soundly on the aircraft.

Riiiiiight. You do allnighters home from a base with two flights avail, the first one being 1210am. (DL has a 1245am, your second choice) It has to be a West Coast base, they have allnighters. OAK doesn't work. PHX, nah, not really. DEN? Nah, not enough. Vegas? Yup. That's it. Then Google 1210am departures from LAS. And sorry, the Spirit flight arrives at 506am at MSP, and continues onto ORD.

Yup. Keep dancin Francis. Hey, I've always said I live in ATL. No biggie sport, just bid MDW and your commute will be a lot shorter.



Bye Bye---General Lee
