The 1,000 hr rule as governed by the FAA

[Happy_People]

No doubt looks like someone needs meditate in the cornfield for awhile.

Wow. Once again you illustrate what a class act you really are. You really need help.

Have you ever considered checking out the EAP at work? You sound like you need it. It's just a thread on a web board. Why do you insist on making such a big deal out of it.

Sounds as if the only bad decision you've ever made in your life was to go to work for USairways. How much longer will you suffer working there?

and you are the exact reason why USAirways is such a "great" place to work. With willing sycophants like you always ready to give the BJ, why would they change to actually make money?

 

[Bear96]

Geez, what did I ever do to you?

By your screen moniker, you appear to be a West pilot. That's all sharktooth and the other USAPA supporters here need to justify vilifying you.

and you are a, oh migosh, someone who has no idea what they are talking about.

Why ever would a sentient pilot group allow that to happen?

Let me help you out with a bit of background on our 29/7 restriction.

When the ALPA/AWA PBS Committee set the block time in 7 limit back in ‘98, virtually every airline was buffering the block time limits. Delta was using 28 in 7 for for the bid line building parameters. I’m not sure what they use with PBS but I’ll bet that it's not be higher than 29 in 7.

Anyway, AWA would be happy to let us build to a higher value, as long as we give up our pay guarantee if we exceed 30 in 7!

Remember, if you have a 30/7 conflict that requires legs or trips to be dropped, you are pay-protected.
The 29 in 7 restriction is part and parcel of that. AWA rightly needs some protection against getting scads of 30/7 conflicts.

Which would you prefer: 29/7 limit and pay guarantees, or a higher value and no guarantee?

I'll take the guarantee.

So would I. and, thank you. It has been a pretty hectic last couple of days. We have generations of scars we will have to address and the last couple of weeks have been pretty horrific. Thank you again.

If anyone has the ability to help a vet. Please. Most have been through hell and back. You can assume loyalty to you to the death for most. I don't know if that helps the vets but Dick and Georges marvelous adventure must be really great for those two clowns.

One poster on this thread is getting way out of line. I think you know who you are. If you can't stop plan on a nice vacation. UNDERSTAND?

10 months times 100 hours equals 1000 hours, max domestic.

Junebug mostly explained it but I just want to make sure you understand the difference between credit time and actual flight time. At AWA we still have trip and duty rigs so one can easily hit the 100 credit limit without having anywhere near 100 hours of block time. Additionally, our ACARs reports OUT/IN times based on the parking break and cabin doors, not rolling and cargo doors.

I'll take the guarantee.

That sounds like a fairly reasonable set up overall.

"Which would you prefer: 29/7 limit and pay guarantees, or a higher value and no guarantee?

Agreed.

Bear: "By your screen moniker, you appear to be a West pilot. That's all sharktooth and the other USAPA supporters here need to justify vilifying you." Sigh.....Did you forget your preposterous "I'm neutral" pretense for a moment? 😉
