Too funny. Since pretty much anyone that’s read almost anything you’ve posted would put you in the ambitious seeker of a management fortune category. Also doubt you’ve ever been a warrior. Love when people liken civilian activities, like contract negotiations, to going to war.

I’m a commuter, but I would stack 1 day trips together on the 73 if my seniority would hold it. Ours are typically Caribbean turns that credit 7 plus a day. As it is, I frequently manage a 1 day at the front or back end of a 4 day when I pattern bid. With an easy to reach crash pad, a pilot could knock out an entire month of flying with a couple of 5 day stretches of 1 day trips.

Speaking specifically about the 320, they max out at about 6 hours. Not great compared to the efficiency of the 73 island turns. I know a lot of senior guys loved doing those. 2 5 day blocks of island turns and they were done for the month.

There's no violation to our contract if someone is getting bought off their trip. Everyone is just being emotional about nothing.



I was referring to a certain airbus delivery flown by pilots that were not on our seniority list.

They just posted to skynet that it could be a few more days.

No surprise. That's what happened last time too. Looks like Friday EOB

It's been EOB Friday since the day the AE posted. The results are typically ready on Wed, but always get sent back for review to save an extra $50.

I think you're spot on because the exact scenario happened last time, BS posts results ready on Tue or most likely Wed, then a Flight Ops representative posts Wed it might be a couple more days.

Another possibility is BS saying “I think we’ve got it guys! I’ll send it over to ALPA. Damnit, the computer froze again. Let me try...nope blue screen of death. Did anyone save it by chance? No? Ughhhh Send a message on workplace saying it will be a few days.”

Maybe less likely than saving a minuscule amount of money, but never count out Delta IT!
