All good advice, but beware that the above isn't exactly true. Let's say you're coming up on your 1-year anniversary. Time to leave that flying-ASAP-report Mad Dog, right? Yeah! Except there's no AE posted...now what?

Well, you're on the 88 until an AE does get posted. Thankfully, you've gotten hired at Delta during a great period of growth/retirements so the next AE is never more than a few months away, so the risk of getting stuck on something for years and years like pilots hired in the last 15 years is minimal. But as an example, an AE posted right before my anniversary, and I missed being eligible by just a few days. The next one didn't post for two months or so, taking me to the 14-month point. Add up to 210 days for a training conversion (once a year Delta can post an AE with up to a 365-day window I believe) and you're looking at upwards of two years on your "1-year" lock. Just so you're aware.
