Also was told that Delta does not want you to perform any other job duties (such as real estate, small business, consulting) or Military while on rest on layover or while on long call reserve. Regardless of the fact that you are 100% available to meet your obligations. I had not heard this until recently. What are they saying in indoc or in CPO office's.
Delta expects that you will be available for all initial training. You can play the mil leave trump card and take time off and you're not going to be fired. Keep in mind however that it will take Delta perhaps 5 minutes to find out if the mil leave was unavoidable on your part or if you're gaming the system. Most of the 4th floor are either in the guard or reserves or served. If you're gaming things and something goes wrong later don't expect any support. I personally know one person who dropped orders on them the second day of in doc. They later had a layover issue and no longer work for Delta. Mil leave is always unpaid regardless of being a new hire or when flying the line.
As far working other jobs Delta could care less. You can do what you want with one exception. You can't perform civilian flying for hire without permission from flight ops.
