Narrative

ARRIVED AT JBR AT XA00 ON MAY/SUN/06 FOR DUTY AS BE1900 CAPT. FO ARRIVED APPROX XA15 AND WE INTRODUCED OURSELVES. WE ESTABLISHED I HAD APPROX 80 HRS IN THE BE1900 AND HE HAD APPROX 120 HRS. WE REFERRED TO OUR COMPANY GOM; WHICH STATES; 'IN ADDITION; EITHER THE PIC OR THE SIC MUST HAVE AT LEAST 150 HRS OF LINE OPERATING FLT TIME 121.438.' OUR COMPANY REQUIREMENT EXCEEDS THE FAR REQUIREMENT OF 75 HRS. I CALLED CREW SCHEDULING; EXPLAINED THE SITUATION TO HER. SHE CALLED THE SUPVR OF CREW SCHEDULING. SHE SAID WE WERE LEGAL AND I ASKED HER IF SHE HAD A COPY OF THE GOM. SHE SAID NO; SHE WAS AT HOME. I READ HER THE PERTINENT LANGUAGE AND SHE ASKED THE SCHEDULER FOR MY FO'S FLT TIME SINCE DATE OF HIRE. WHEN IT BECAME EVIDENT IT DIDN'T REACH 150 HRS; I WAS PUT ON HOLD AND DISCONNECTED. RECEIVED A CALL APPROX 20 MINS LATER FROM THE MGR OF DISPATCH. HE SAID HE HAD SPOKEN BY PHONE TO THE DIRECTOR OF OPS WHO AGREED TO WAIVE THE 150 HR REQUIREMENT FOR THE DAY'S FLTS THEN RETURN. I THOUGHT ONCE THE MANUALS ARE FAA APPROVED THEY BECOME REGULATORY. WE CONTINUED OPS WITH DIRECTOR OF OPS APPROVAL AND NO FURTHER INCIDENT.
