Makes you wonder - should a pilot find herself on a trip where the first three conditions are met, does that warrant a call at the beginning of the day stating that she's unfit to complete the day as scheduled because Delta has deemed it unsafe and fatiguing?
In related news Delta announced the transfer of a former QCQ slide production VP to Fairbanks Alaska where he will now be the on-site ramp supervisor of deice operations. No company parka will be provided!
