Recently I was forced to do a 34 hour restart out of town although I still had 11 hours left before I hit 70 hours. I was only 3.5 hours from the house. Under what article can I file and for how much time I was there for for about 41 hours. I can't find anything about this in the contract.

I don't understand what you mean here? Are you saying they made you sit somewhere for 34 hours so you would be able to do a restart, and you had the hours to get back???
Also was any of that due to the weather?

I talked to one of my stewards about a potential double layover and how we were paid. His answer was 14 off then you get 8 hours pay to be followed by 10 off 8 hours of pay etc. Where this info is located at I don't know. But I will ask him for more info tonight.And BTW that's just flat out wrong. I'd file for all time to be paid, you deserve it.
 
there is nothing in our contract directly to answer your question, it is whatever is agreed upon locally, ask your steward if he doesn't know ask your BA. If he doesn't know file for whatever wages you lost. What is your bid? Your employer cant force you to take a 34 reset. That is at your discretion.
 
I would say if they verbally instructed you to take a 34 hr reset I would file it under road delay and would word it that you had hours to run and we're away from the house and dispatch refused to use you. I also know what the stewards said isn't true because there should be no difference between being stuck in a truck on the highway and being stuck in a hotel away from home

Yes there is a difference. Have you ever had to do a second layover in a hotel?
 
Nope haven't had that problem yet save for when I was at another terminal on temporary reassignment. Always been the standard 1 night out and back or in a sleeper. But I didn't see anything in contract saying anything about there being a difference in road delays. If they make you take reset on the road that should count towards the 6 days straight on duty in regards to overtime pay wouldn't it???
