[quote=NuGuy;535287]Heyas F4H,

That's a legit question. The short answer is that the DAL new-hire materials are not updated for either LOA19 or the JPWA, nor do they contain any transition information regarding ammendment A items that do not apply to FNPs until certain transition points.

The guys working on this stuff are still parsing it to see what's what, not to mention getting up to speed themselves.

My guess is that stuff that is straight forward, like user guides for PBS (we're going to need minimal training for that, it's practically the same) and the other DAL computer systems (like the PCS system) you'll probably see shortly after the pow wow next week.


For what it's worth I found some good information after logging into the Delta site with my new PASS code. I found some new-hire stuff that gave some broad and basic information on life at Delta.

Do you know why our MEC has withheld the distribution of these materials?

I guess we'll have to get them from the DAL MEC. "Not invented here" seems to cut both ways.....
As a relative Delta new hire myself, this is the first I've heard of any MEC guides for this stuff. This post is a great summary of things I've had to play 20 questions with any willing Capt I've flown with over the last 1.5 years to find out. If there is a MEC guide, it has not been distributed - trust me it would have saved me a lot of trouble and probably made those Captains a bit happier. If they do create a guide, it should be distributed to all pilots.

Most of the "guides" were in that monster packet we got on ALPA day during Indoc. By far the best piece of information was titled "When Scheduling Calls". If you didn't get the hard copy or soft copy or threw the packet into a dark corner of a closet (that's what I did) send me a PM and I'll let you have the old version.

Another option is to visit the DALPA site. Lots of great information there.

Heyas,

Any of you DAL guys have a sec and can send me a PM? I have a couple of nit picky questions about qual training and how pay/bidding/schedules are handled through OE.

No hurry...
