If you don't put that in, you will not get paid per diem for training events!! Other than the perdiem, I don't think they re-imburse us for anything else. Another fine feature of Delta's extremely advanced computer system.
You have to input it manually because the computer system has no idea when you actual travel to training and when you go back. It also has no idea when you go home on days off for transition training. Its a honor system but if you go home for blocks of off days your supposed to list each block of days actually in training and they only pay per diem for those days. They will also pay for tips and transportation if needed to and from the airport.
