I cancelled the room I got on my own and came home. Today, a 2 hour ride from E. Cobb to training center this morning to do day 2. Two hours back home this afternoon. White knuckles and 25 MPH the whole way. I wanted to get it done, but zero guidance/advice/info from anyone at Delta. No response from training planner. No one even knew if training was still going on.
We're a big airline. It would be nice to have a bit more support and have a team to answer the phone outside business hours.
I hear ya. All I know is what other pilots have been telling me. Could be pure BS but I do know one guy in training whose instructor got a room to make sure they could do their training today, and no the instructor was not paying for it.
I am still waiting for my second reroute...... Its been over six hrs since the cancellation. I called they told me to stay in the hotel and I will comply until I get kicked out. I figure that will coincide with the freeways getting shut down.
Its a mess but I know everyone I have been talking to has been awesome.
