FAQs – December 2009 AE Bid Posting
This document will address some of the most frequently asked questions related to the latest Advance Entitlement Bid, which closes on December 29th at 0900E.

here is one teasing excerpt:

Q-5. I was displaced as a result of the last Advance Entitlement, but I haven’t converted to my new category. What category will I be considered to hold when this AE bid is processed?
A-5. Your AE, VD, and MD bids will be processed as if you have already been converted into your new category. To determine your relative position in your new category, sign into DeltaNet and go to the Crew Resources & Scheduling page. Look on the right-hand side for the Category List box. The Projected Category list is based on the August 2009 AE award for pre-merger Delta pilots and the September 2009 AE award for pre-merger Northwest pilots.
