From: AFA E-Lines (December 28, 2012)
In anticipation of new aircraft entering the fleet in 2013, we have been working with United on training and a number of other logistical issues. United's new 737 aircraft are scheduled to be delivered in 2013 and we have worked with the company to determine the report times for these aircraft. These new replacement aircraft are being added to the United fleet in accordance with terms of our Contract and related Agreements.
These new B737 aircraft are similar in capacity and configuration to United's 757 fleet and the report times will be consistent with that aircraft. The 737 aircraft will have a 1:15 report time at the home domicile and 1:00 at a layover location. Additional details will be provided in the cover letter and key pages when these aircraft enter service.
Additionally, beginning with the March 2013 schedule month, the start of duty for narrow body aircraft (A319 and A320) will be extended by 0:05 due to operational performance issues. Commencement of duty will be 1:05 prior to departure at the home domicile and 0:50 minutes at a layover point.
