I'm not throwing stones, I just am asking.
I beleive that is one of the deals with CPS and Mesaba being able to hold them back. FWIW, all DCI employees have access to DALnet because of Travelnet, and yes, DAL is aware of this, and yes, they can access most of the Flying Operations page, so I think they can see if there is an AE.
I know one or two of those pilots and they are the ones that told me that they will be able to bid on the next AE even though they are held back. It was not their choice and they are by definition an active DAL pilot as of Aug 16th, with a seniority number and everything.
