Well I had a plane with a seat with my name on it ready to deadhead home. I spent twenty minutes on the phone with scheduling and reroute. They both had managers on the phone talking to each other and said I had to fly into my day off. Everybody on the phone knew about the golden day. They also knew I had a nice cozy seat on a plane. I was not stuck, the weather was great. The company just needed the best , and only, pilot available!
Yes, and you get nothing in return. I am thankful there where a lot of improvements made to the reserve rules/pay over the last year, but I'm still irked by the fact that a reserve pilot is always subject to flying into days off without any compensation.

I think the schedulers feel terrible when they have to do this. Isn't that enough of a penalty?
According to ACL, the negotiating committee was pressed by domestic only reserve pilots for the opportunity to be able to go home for a conjugal visit in-between trips. No more land at 0100 and be back out that afternoon for another 3-day.
International pilots said it was unnecessary, they get plenty of conjugal visits while at work and they're not going to waste negotiating capital on domestic pilots conjugal visits.

If this went down as you have described it, I recommend that you call the ALPA office. You may be due inverse assignment pay, and despite the ALPA-bashing often read here the union get pilots pay protected and compensated all the time for company screwups.

Delta lad, 4 short calls before today (#5). Flown everyday I've been at work. I merely question the need for 6 guys on short call. Are we covering for NY or SLC? I like sleeping in my bed and having the opportunity to beat my kids.
Ok, I just tried to move some money around in my 401k, specifically the DL stock we got from the merger, IE the Delta stock fund. The Fidelity website wont allow me to do anything with this stock, a message comes up saying I must use a company trading site or something similar, Did a quick search of this thread with alot of why you should dump our co stock from the merger, but not much on how to do that. Anyone have the gouge on HOW you do it?
Surprised that more hasn't been said about the downfall of our late, great friend Bill Lumburg, considering he was one of the TAs biggest cheerleaders on here. Obviously it was a false-flag disinformation campaign...but on behalf of whom? Management? ALPA? RAA? Or was he some regional guy who really really wanted a shot at flying more 90 seaters?
The silence from shiznit in particular is deafening considering how many times he told me to go back to playing in the regional forum sandbox because I'm not a Delta pilot .
Jungle,
Not sure what you are getting at, but Lumberg aside, are you saying that the TA was a failure and is proven to be so because Lumberg is not here to spout? Can the same then be said because Carl is no longer posting that the TA was a success? These forums are anything but balanced. Trying to figure your point?
The obvious fact that you are not a Delta pilot really is telling that your opinion on the TA, good bad or indifferent is meaningless. So what is the point in your view that the TA is not going well simply because Lumberg shut his pie hole?
very curious...
DCI is smaller and there will be less DCI pilots flying less seats for DAL. A fact of the TA.

6 SCs isn't enough...we can look forward to that increasing by 17% soon enough.

Horsepilot, It's probably your schedule that has my name at the bottom of it once or twice...not stalking you; was just curious why you weren't getting as many SCs as I sat here in ATL. Apparently, you can't sit as many SCs when they're flying your @rse off!
