FROM THE MEC CHAIRMAN

The Healing Process

We finally see a light at the end of the tunnel, and for once I’m prettysure it’s not a train coming the other direction. The bankruptcy courtapproved Yucaipa’s revised plan of reorganization on Feb. 2 and Alohaofficially exited bankruptcy on Feb. 17. All the hurdles have beenjumped and Yuciapa has completed their investment in Aloha Airlines.We have been through a 13-month psychological war, and the emo-tional scars that we’ve endured are still raw. They say that time healsall wounds, and I believe that process needs to begin as soon as pos-sible. So how do we get there?

Yucaipa has a reputation for being a “labor-friendly” investmentfirm, and hopefully they will live up to that reputation. Abankruptcy exit party is planned for February 16 and that will be agood start. Parties are nice, but some core issues need to beaddressed sooner rather than later.

Respect, communications, and trust are three key issues I havebeen trying to address with management since I took office. Iexpect nothing less than respect for our contract, respect for ourprofession, respect for the sacrifices we have given, and, mostimportant, respect for us as human beings. The basic element ofshowing respect is open and honest communications. That meanscommunicating before the fact instead of after. We are, after all,all on the same team here. Better communication needs to beaddressed from the top down, through the management ranks,Flight Ops, SOCC, and Crew Scheduling. Pilots are the managementteam of the Company’s multi-million dollar assets, and their onlyproduct. We should be treated as such, and dialogue needs to beestablished both ways. Proper communication allows us to performour jobs efficiently and service our customers better. I give thiscurrent management team credit for communicating better thanany previous one that I have been involved with. However, it needsto be much, much better, as our recent bouts of scope violationshave shown. Once these lines of communication are ingrained asnormal business and respect is shared mutually between employeesand management, only then can we begin to build trust. Trust is thecornerstone of success in any business. We need to trustmanagement to make the right business decisions. We need to trustthat we are all working for a common goal. We need to trust thatwe will share in the rewards from our hard work and dedication. We

We can never forget what we have all been through and thesacrifices we have made. However, we can’t dwell on the past,either. Let’s cautiously look toward a bright future and allow thehealing process to begin. Yucaipa is now on board. Let’s Fly!

On January 21, 2006, ALPA Council 80 had its Annual Pilot Partyat the Waikiki Yacht Club to honor the pilots who retired in2005. It was a big success. The large crowd enjoyed the goodfood, the band, the door prizes, and the great camaraderie. Wehad a record number of pilots retire in 2005, and they will allbe missed! We look forward to seeing you at next year’s event.

Special thanks to all who contributed their time and effort tohelp make it a great evening!

Events Committee members were Kim Woerle, Joel Kanemori,Jaime Wagatsuma, Blaine Kiyuna, Dane Christ, Darius Kono, andGlen Nakamura.

Special thanks to Carol Ching, Walt Kaneakua, Phil Green, andPaul Morgan.

FROM THE MEC SECRETARY-TREASURER

By Captain John Riddel

Help Make a Difference

Aloha, All,

Another year is under way for us at Aloha, and we are all hopingthat 2006 is a better year for our company and our profession. Howrefreshing it would be if we could enter the holidays this yearwithout the stress and concerns for our livelihood. One thing is forsure: the pilots of Aloha and their families have once again shownthe highest level of professionalism and integrity, which is whatmakes this job still so rewarding.

With new investors soon to be onboard and new, hopefullycompetent, management, I am optimistic about our future. Wemust continue to protect our careers with the solidarity and resolvewe have shown this current management. Please continue to ask,“What can I do to make a difference?” and get involved with yourunion committees. We cannot afford to get complacent, as ourprofession is going to continue to be challenged by corporateAmerica looking for “golden parachutes” at our expense.

Stay alert not only in the flight deck but as a union. Participate andhelp to preserve what so many have given so much to attain. I amlooking for a new Pilot Lounge and Facilities chairman to take overthis incredibly demanding position . . . HAHA! If you think you areinterested, kindly let me know, and you can enjoy the tremendousresponsibility of calling Captain Clark and informing him of ceilinglights inop or leaking faucets. I am looking forward to filling thehuge shoes vacated by Captain Denzer as your new secretary-treasurer and will give the same 110 percent to this position as I doflying the line.

The pilots of Aloha are the greatest group that anyone could beassociated with, and I am honored to be able to serve.

MESSAGE FROM THE MEC VICE CHAIRMAN

By Captain Will Westervelt

On a recent flight from Oakland to Hawaii, my first officer came acrossan article about the airline industry written, surprisingly enough, byMr. Banmiller’s twin brother. The content of this article was basicallyhow the industry has changed from the days of carved roast beef infirst class and service that rivaled that of cruise ships to the peanutsand free sodas of today’s air travel. And with this decline in overallservice, there has been a decline in employee career expectation. Itwas quite interesting to read.

In the past, when you finally wereemployed by an airline, you were“taken care of” by the companyfor the service that you providedto that company and its custom-ers. Nowadays, in management’seyes, the definition of being“taken care of” is more reflectiveof a cure for a disease than ofproviding a foundation for anemployee and his or her family.We are all treated as if we areexpendable liabilities to thecompany’s bottom line, and the service provided by the airline industrythese days is reflective of management’s current mindset.

To say that our industry has been under duress over the past four yearsis surely a gross understatement. Our industry, as well as Council 80,has been witness to the worst economic and antilabor downturns sincebefore deregulation. Everything from the war on terrorism to infec-tious diseases has been used as an excuse for the mismanagement ofresources and money at almost every airline in the United States. Oursis no exception.

We all know of the consequences and pitfalls of the bankruptcy pro-cess, having been operating in this environment for more than a year.We also know that the pilots and all the employees of this great com-pany have shown incredible poise and character during these toughestof times. Despite the uncertainty of our futures, the pilots of Council80 have carried out their duties on the line with the utmost profession-alism and dignity. For that, your MEC is most grateful.

Having experienced the worst operating environment, barring anasset sale or liquidation, what is next for Council 80 and Aloha’spilots? Many of you have heard me say time after time to “getinvolved” with some aspect of union work. This is vitally important

port and involvement are needed now more than ever. Many posi-tions need to be filled with able people who can get the job done.Many other positions will need to be created to monitor and imple-ment the latest contract changes in the “restructuring agreement.”The few individuals who have worked tirelessly in the past needrelief and support from you, their peers. While some pilots havevoiced their willingness to volunteer, we need more of you to stepup to the plate and get involved.

While there will surely be many unseen obstacles, the future ofCouncil 80 is still in our hands. Collectively, we must help to rebuildour profession to the great industry that it once was. However, it isonly your individual efforts and involvement that make this possible.We must safeguard our livelihoods by getting involved now and helpCouncil 80, as well as your fellow pilots, to thrive in the future.

Aircrew Separation/Evasion Training (SET)By Tom Brehm, Security Chairman, Council 80

In an initiative that started in July 2005, Aloha Airlines now teachesits pilots mandatory Separation/Evasion Training (SET). Based onTSA requirements, the course is a comprehensive tool to enablecrews to increase their awareness of flight security and defensivetraining so they can handle any number of possible hostile actionstaken against them.

The course covers four main areas of instruction: evasion, separation,escape, and self-defense. In addition, there is detailed instruction onhow to control an unruly passenger and a reaction drill for anaggressive act against the cockpit. An additional benefit to this courseis that some of the information presented provides knowledge andFor a printer-friendly

skills that could be used for your own personal security when notacting as an aircrew.

Jill Yamauchi, Flight Operations, contracted with a local self-defense organization to refine a training syllabus and begin to trainthe trainers for this course in August 2005. Instructors selected forthe course were: Walt Kaneakua, Jeff Namihira, Luke Hofacker, andTom Brehm.

The initial course of instruction is a two-hour period duringrecurrent ground school training. The length of the course isexpected to be shortened after all aircrews have performed theirinitialqualification—approximatelyone year ofrecurrent groundschool classes.

Overall, thecourse has beenvery wellreceived. Theidea that pilotsget to dosomething a littlemore physical anddifferent duringground school has met with good reviews. The free-flow exchange ofideas concerning security, situational awareness in flight and on theground, cockpit defense, federal flight deck officer (FFDO) utilization,security briefs, and security drills has produced an enhanced level ofsecurity awareness for all pilots.

NON-REV POLICY ENFORCEMENT

The MEC has been informed that the Company’s non-rev policieswill be strictly enforced. If you remember, when you list online,the last page has a bunch of company policies where you must clickon the “agree” box in order to complete your listing. This isconsidered a legal document that you signed if you clicked on“agree.” These agreements you “signed” (you did read them,right?) reaffirm company non-rev policy. I will quote a section ofthe Corporate Policy:

Also, the last box states:

Apparently the company has become aware that some employeefamily members have been using pass travel to travel to and fromwork. The company considers this as a violation of non-rev policy,and it has given notice that the policy will be enforced. Contactthe MEC if you have any questions about this.

FLIER FUNNIES

Submitted by Tom Brehm

Three retired gents are walking down a street in the historic partof Old Phoenix. They turn a corner and see a sign that says,

“The Old Timers’ Bar . . . ALL DRINKS 10 CENTS!”

They look at each other in disbelief, and then enter the bar. Thebartender says, in a voice that carries across the room, “Come onin and let me pour one for you guys. What’ll it be, gentlemen?”

There seems to be a fully stocked bar, so the three men each asksfor a martini. In short order, the bartender serves up three iced

martinis and says, “That’ll be 10 centseach, please.”

They can’t believe their good luck.Each guy pays his 10 cents, they finishtheir martinis, and they order anotherround. Again, three excellent martinisare produced with the bartender againsaying, “That’s 30 cents, please.” Theypay the 30 cents, but their curiosity ismore than they can stand. They’veeach had two martinis, and so farthey’ve spent less than a dollar.

One of the men asks the bartender, “How can you affordto serve martinis as good as these for only a dime each?”

“Well, here’s my story,” the bartender replies. “I’m a retiredtailor from Brooklyn, and I always wanted to own a bar. Lastyear I hit the lottery for $525 million and I decided to openthis place. It’s just a hobby for me. Every drink costs a dime. . . wine, liquor, beer, it’s all the same.”

“Wow! That’s quite a story,” says one of the men.

The three of them sip at their martinis but can’t help butnotice three other guys who had been sitting at the otherend of the bar and who didn’t have a drink in front ofthem . . . and they hadn’t ordered anything.

One man gestures toward the three guys at the end of thebar and asks the bartender, “What’s with those guys?”

“They’re airline pilots. They’re waiting for Happy Hour.”

GRIEVANCE UPDATE

Sector-Time Grievance

The Company and ALPA reached a mutual agreement to revise thesector times for the March -200 bids due to the change in flightprofiles. These times will also bereevaluated for April. As a sidebenefit to this grievance, wediscovered that our sector timeswere being used for our reserva-tion system, OAG times, and thetimes we report to the govern-ment. Our sector times are anaverage, so half of the time, ouranticipated arrival time should belater than published. The Com-pany will now use a government-approved method to report morerealistic arrival times to thepublic instead of our pay andcredit time. We have also agreed to look at sector times quarterlyinstead of biannually, which should result in more realistic timesreflected in our bids, especially for the -700 operation affected bythe seasonal wind variations.

Irregular Operations Grievances

Pilots have been awarded timecompensation for the irregularoperations over Christmas andNew Year’s. Pilots have beenpay-protected, and furloughedpilots were recalled throughoutthe last few months in ex-change for MEC contractualrelief through some of thesedifficult periods.

Scope Violation Grievances

The charter flight grievance has been resolved with language thatstrengthens our scope clause. A wetlease agreement was negoti-ated to pay-protect our pilots before a violation occurs. The mailcontract grievance is being resolved between ALPA and the Com-pany, and we are anticipating doing additional cargo flying as aresult of this grievance.

The Company and ALPAreached a mutual agree-ment to revise thesector times for theMarch -200 bids due tothe change in flightprofiles.

CAPTAIN’S IRREGULARITY REPORT VERSUS FSAP REPORT

Captain Ray Brice, Director of Safety

What do I need to report and on what form should I report it? Goodquestion!

First of all, there are quite a few reports that are required by FARs(121.703 Service Difficulty Reports is a start) and by the Aloha FlightOperations Manual. In general, those reports are the same as thoselisted on the Aloha Captain’s Irregularity Report form (FOM page 3.6.8and 3.6.9).

The FAA requires reports from the Company for events involving:

• Fire warnings (real or false)

• Damage to an engine in flight or in-flight shut down/flame out ofan engine

• Smoke or vapors in the crew compartment or cabin (any source)

• Engine damage due to FOD or ice ingestion

• Fuel leaks or problems with fuel flow

• Landing gear problems

• Brake problems or problems stopping

• Aircraft damage

• Aircraft system failures resulting in emergency situations

• Emergency evacuation

• Any situation that produces a threat to the aircraft and occupants

• Use of Captain’s Emergency Authority (whatever the reason)

The FOM (4.2.30) requires a report for TCAS events involving clear-ance deviations (not on the Captain’s Irregularity Report). Birdstrikes are required to be reported but that fact is hidden in AC150/5200-32A, Reporting Wildlife Aircraft Strikes. Additionally,Aloha requires a report on every -700 auto-land operation on thespecial Auto Land Report form.

The Flight Safety Action Program (FSAP) Report system is not required.It is totally voluntary. However, it has some pilot protective provisionsthat allow pilots to report events that may have regulatory conse-quences with some honest confidence that the report will be handledin a manner to fix the problems encountered while limiting the penaltythat may have resulted otherwise.

The primary importance of the FSAP is that it can take immediateaction to prevent the problems from happening again to others or trackdata from reports to make a case for modifying policies and proceduresto improve Flight Safety. The Event Review Committee has the respon-sibility to read, evaluate, and make recommendations to correct everyevent reported to the FSAP. So far, at Aloha we have an excellent trackrecord of making those necessary changes.

A Captain’s Irregularity Report is required for most of the events listedon the reporting form. This information can be just the facts. The FSAPReport can contain a lot more causal information and some backgroundinformation that will assist us in investigating the event for systemicproblems. Currently, both are very valuable tools to assist us in makingrequired reports and, more importantly, investigating and trackingproblems. Flight Safety maintains a databasewith both Irregularity and FSAP Reports totrack trends. The more information wehave, the better the product.

IRREGULAR OPERATIONS

by Captain Rich Bockhaus

Editor’s Note: This article is a reprint from the June—July 2004 issueof the Aloha Flier. The MEC thought it would be a good idea to refresheveryone on the subject.

While talking to various line pilots about irregular operations, it hasbecome apparent that not everyone understands his or her rights underDoc. 10.1, especially as it pertains to a two-day trip. Let’s look atdifferent scenarios to help clarify some of your rights.

Let’s say Captain Fantastic has an HV05 as shown on February’s bidsheet. This flight shows a check-in at 1320 with a 1435 departure fromHNL. If all goes according to plan, there will be 12:34 of rest inVancouver. We all know things don’t always go according to plan, so wehave to be ready for irregu-lar operations.

Captain Fantastic drives tothe airport and checks in withsomeone in Dispatch whoinforms him that his flight isrunning five hours late due toMaintenance waiting on apart. They also inform himthat they left a message onhis answering machine in-forming him of the delay.

Now Captain Fantastic,being a sharp fellow, cor-rectly informs Dispatch thata message is not sufficientfor notification, as they arerequired to talk to him directly. Not his wife or his children—only him.In addition, he is not required to take calls from Dispatch if he doesn’twant to do so. Due to the lack of notification, his 1320 check-in standsas the starting time for his duty. Please note that even if he did acceptnotification, Section D.4 still applies. (See below.)

Once Captain Fantastic hangs up the phone, he puts on his thinking capbecause he knows there are rules to be followed and rights available tohim in the new and improved Doc. 10.1, which he carries in his baglike all smart pilots. (BTW, if you don’t have a copy of Document 10.1,you can obtain one from Carol at the ALPA office.) He knows he needsto look at the section of Doc.10.1 that discusses hours of service, dutyperiod rights and restrictions, as well as irregular operations. He startswith Section E.5.a.

Aloha Pilots:

It’s tax time again, and with the pay cuts we took,we could all use some help getting any money backthat we can get. Bob Morrison sent in a referralfor a company called Pro-Diem Inc., which is runby the wife of an NWA pilot. He said he uses theirservice, and they have saved him a lot of money. A few other AQ pilots use them as well.

Basically what they do is figure out exactly howmuch you can claim for your per-diem money. Theysave you money because the amount of per-diemyou receive is not the total amount you are allowedto claim. The IRS allows you to claim the CONUSrates for the city where you overnight. Each city hasa different CONUS rate, which changes every year,and the CONUS rate is higher than what we receive.

Pro-Diem charges only $50 for its service, and mytax guy says that $50 is also a deductible itemsince it is part of your tax prep fees! You maythink, well, I can figure this out on my own. Theproblem is, the IRS has complicated rules abouthow much you can claim for partial days, and it’snot easy to figure out the correct rates (they canchange in the middle of the month, for example).Pro-Diem will calculate all this for you, and itguarantees the results.

Check out the website FAQ, or call them if you havemore questions. It will be well worth your time.

Irregular Operations, cont’d from page 15

E.5.a—In any consecutive twenty-four-hour (24:00) period, apilot shall not be scheduled to be on duty in excess of thefollowing:

Basic Crew 12 Hours

This shows he can only be scheduled for 12 hours of duty, but heknows he is operating under irregular operations, so he looks further inthis section and finds:

E.5.c—A pilot may exceed these duty limitations by twohours (2:00) for reasons beyond the Company’s control(e.g., weather, mechanical delays).

The captain adds the 2 hours to his original 12 and notes that his totalduty time will probably be less than 14, so he is OK to go under thissection of the contract. He does remember that if he goes over 12hours, there is another section that comes into play, so he looks atSection E.6.b.

E.6.b—Rest periods shall not be less than eighteen (18:00)hours or twice the flight time (whichever is greater) releaseto report if the preceding duty period was greater than twelve(12) hours.

18

Aloha Flier

Ah, so he is probably going to need 18 hours of rest in Vancouver becausehe thinks he is going to exceed 12 hours on duty. Right away CaptainFantastic knows this is going to throw a monkey wrench in the schedulingfor the next day. He is about to call Dispatch to make sure they are awareof the potential problem when he sees that Section D.4 has anotherprotection, which he might need to bring to their attention.

D.4—If it is known that an originating trip pairing will operateunder irregular operations anytime before the pilot checks in forthe initial departure of his trip pairing, the pilot shall not beassigned a schedule that would release him in his domicile anylater than twelve hours after the ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED RE-PORT time of the last day of his original trip pairing.

Captain Fantastic needs pencil and paper now because this is gettingcomplicated. These are his calculations, using Honolulu times to keepit simple:

Check-In 13:20

New Departure 19:35 (14:35 scheduled plus the 5-hour delay)

Trip Time 5:36 (Could be more or less depending onthe flight plan)

Block-In Time 01:11 (Could be later due to late arrival andoutside runway)

Customs Clearance :30 (Add :30 to the Block-In Time whenclearing Customs)

Release Time 01:41

Total Duty Time 12:21 (More than 12 hours requires 18 hoursof rest)

Check-In 2nd Day 19:41 01:41 plus 18 hours

Departure Time 20:41 19:41 plus 1 hour

Trip Time 6:22

Block-In Time 02:03

Release Time 02:33 (Add :30 to the Block-In Time for Customs)

Original Report 09:15 (HNL Time, 11:15 YVR Time as shown onthe bid sheet)

Twelve-Hour Limit12:00 (Section D.4)

Completion Time 19:15 (Not even close; call out the reserves)

Captain Fantastic is a sharp fellow and figures it doesn’t take a rocketscientist to know that he can’t complete this flight within his rightsunder Doc.10.1.

He is going to exceed 12 hours on duty, so he needs 18 hours of rest inVancouver. Because of his 18 hours of rest, he will not be able toreturn to Honolulu within 12 hours of his originally scheduled REPORTtime on his last day of the trip pairing. Call out the reserves!

Now, let’s modify the scenario to get him into Vancouver within the 12hours of duty time but with different flight times to see if he can takethe trip.

Check-In 13:20

New Departure 19:35 (14:35 plus the 5-hour delay)

Trip Time 5:10 (Good winds to YVR)

Block-In Time 00:45 (Could be later due to late arrival andoutside runway)

Customs Clearance :30

Release Time 01:15

Total Duty Time 11:55 (Within 12 hours, so only 12 hours rest arerequired)

Flight to Honolulu the next day:

Check-In 13:15 (01:15 plus 12 hours)

New Departure 14:15 (13:15 plus 1 hour)

Trip Time 6:50 (Bad winds on the way back)

Block-In Time 21:05 (HNL Arrival)

Check-Out :30 (Customs Clearance Allowance as shown onbid sheet)

Release Time 21:20

Required Time 19:15 (09:15 plus 12 hours)

Message From the MEC ____ 2

He can’t make it back within12 hours of his originallyscheduled report time inYVR as shown on the bidsheet. Again, call out thereserves!

Another scenario that I thinkis going to be coming up ona regular basis is the HR01trip pairing running late.Please read Section E.6.aagain.

E.6.a—Rest periods shall not be less than twelve (12:00) hours ortwice the flight time (whichever is greater) release to report ifthe preceding duty period was twelve (12) hours or less.

That trip pairing shows a flight time very close to 8 hours. Twice theflight time is 16 hours of rest. If you are delayed out of HNL for somereason, it doesn’t take much to violate the return home within 12hours of your originally scheduled report time. You aren’t required tohave 18 hours of rest due to the additional crewmember, but othercontractual limits still apply.

D.4—If it is known that an originating trip pairing will operateunder irregular operations anytime before the pilot checks in forthe initial departure of his trip pairing, the pilot shall not beassigned a schedule that would release him in his domicile anylater than twelve hours after the ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED RE-PORT time of the last day of his original trip pairing.

Okay, let’s recap.

Leaving a message on your answering machine or talking to your signifi-cant other or kids does not constitute contact to inform you of a delayor change in schedule. You are not required to talk to the Companyuntil you report for duty, unless you are a reserve pilot, and, eventhen, once they give you a schedule, you are not required to talk tothem again until checking in for your flight.

Irregular operations that cause you to be on duty over 12 hoursrequire 18 hours of rest at the end of the 12-plus hours of duty—notat the end of your trip pairing, although it is possible you will needit there too depending on your final day. This is for a two-memberflight crew. If you are part of a three-member crew, you will needtwice the flight block time in rest once you land.

If the irregular operation is known before you check in, the Companymust have you home within 12 hours of your originally scheduled

End of Retirement List


report time on the last day of your trip pairing. This is true even ifthey do contact you, you report at a later time, you don’t gobeyond 12 hours of duty on the first day, and/or you are a memberof a heavy crew.

These rules are especially important when operating on a two-day trippairing because of the short turnaround times.

Two more rights that you may need to exercise under irregular opera-tions are:

Section 14.G.3 of the basic agreement states:

A pilot shall receive a minimum daily credit for flight paypurposes of sixty percent (60%) of the time on duty.

When you have a 13-hour day, you should receive flight pay creditfor 60 percent of 13 hours. That credit should be 7 hours and 48minutes. That could be more than the credit awarded on your bidsheet. Even a 10-hour day is 6 hours, which is usually more than atrip to OAK.

In addition, if you are operating under irregular operations not knownbefore the initial departure time at the originating station, the Com-pany could delay you 24 hours according to Document 10 D.1:

A pilot whose schedule has been extended shall be scheduled toreturn to his domicile no later than twenty-four (24) hours afterthe scheduled release time of his original schedule and in no caseshall be returned to his domicile later than thirty (30) hoursafter the scheduled release time of his original schedule, pro-vided transportation is available. The Company shall return thepilot to his domicile in the most expeditious manner possible.

Section 22.E.1.a

Bid Run Pilots—actual time flown plus segment credits or thetime scheduled to be flown plus segment credits, the scheduledon-duty time guarantee, or the minimum daily guarantee, which-ever is greater.

If this happens to you, make sure you claim all your time. In otherwords, if your bid sheet shows a 5:22-minute trip back to HNL fromOAK on day two or three of your trip but you get extended to athird or fourth day, you can claim both of these days. The originaltrip was awarded in your bid, and you should be credited for thatwhether you fly it that day or not. The extra day is just that—extra.

Aloha Flier

You weren’t scheduled for that day, but the Company is al-lowed to extend you. However, if they extend you, then thatadditional time should be included in your flight pay creditfor the month.

A special note should be made of a recent grievance won byone of our most attentive captains. The Company has admit-ted fault when they asked a crew to fly an aircraft to HNLfrom KOA at the end of a trip instead of deadheading thecrew as shown on the bid sheet. The violation was not thatthey asked the crew to fly the aircraft as that is allowedwithin certain parameters. The violation occurred becausethe flight ran late, the schedule was changed (flying insteadof deadheading), and the crew would have been required tofly past the 12-hour limit in D.4. This situation could havebeen easily avoided as the Company had over 10 hours to senda reserve crew to KOA to fly the aircraft to HNL. Perhaps nowthat they acknowledge theviolation, they will have areserve crew standing by if thishappens again.

You need to pay attention and beproactive in your interpretationof the contract. Don’t be a pilotwho doesn’t know his rights.Keep your contract with you,read it, and if you have anyquestions, call someone whomight be able to help you. If youcall the Company and they don’tagree with you or refuse toremove you from the flight—callsomeone to help you—like theMEC, Scheduling Committee,Grievance Committee, or Negoti-ating Committee. And if all elsefails, have Dispatch make a notein their log that you are flyingunder protest due to the violationof your rights as provided in yourcontract. Then when you are onyour trip or when you get home,call one of the above to reportthe irregular operation and askfor help. It’s your contract; use itand protect it.
