I start reserve on Friday and am coming off a few days off. It says I have to check DBMS or VRU no later than 0200 on my 1st day of reserve when coming off of days off. Does this mean I have to stay up until midnight in order to check DBMS/VRU? I assume icrew is the same as DMBS/VRU? Sorry guys, I"m trying to figure this out on my own but I'm kind of confused on what I need to do on my 1st reserve day. Thanks to whoever chimes in with answer
For all new pilots, and old pilots, when the delta alpa website is working
there is a document you should search for called CA 09-12. That CA stands for Contract Awareness. It's 1,170 pages long.
What's great is you can keyword search everything from the PWA to all of the supplemental documents. It's a tremendously helpful document. As to your particular question, I'm a few minutes from getting in trouble for being on the internet again.
Here is the table of contents below. The Get to Know Your Contract and the TWG (Transition Working Group) puts the contract in lamens terms but then links back to the full PWA. The TWG was for NWA pilots transitioning to the contract... and for all of the thousands of us PMDAL pilots who had no clue about the Delta PWA. It's very well done. Not sure if they've updated recently but the fact you can keyword through all of those documents is great.
