So from reading the above does that mean that (pending any other changes) I would be put in UNA status and likely furloughed come Oct 1st?

My understanding is furloughs are generally staged out and don't necessarily hit all at once?

I have a plan B and second source of guaranteed income...working on a plan C that's non-aviation...

So if you look at the first 10730 in the list about 1000 of them won't be assigned a plane or seat. Medical leaves, mil leaves, instructors etc. So 11730 will probably be where the last seat is assigned. My guess.

On another note, if I send you a six pack of beer, a bag of marbles, some baseball cards, and a vintage Playboy will you not bid for 717B ATL?

So does UNA equal furlough? I can’t imagine delta will pay all of us to just sit home get paid?

Is this a typo? I thought this displacement was for 3rd quarter 2021.

Pilots were missing the opportunity to exercise their reinstatement rights by literally 2 or 3 days. The real intent behind the old language when it was negotiated many moons ago when we had LOT bidding was that 180 days was basically 6 bid periods and it was extremely rare for a pilot to get caught by this. When we switched bid period begin dates it increased the likelihood that a pilot would come up a few days short of being able to exercise reinstatement rights and the company agreed to reword it to reflect bid periods so it was more straightforward for everyone involved.
