Tell your reps and put it on the contract survey. Prolly won't even be a concession/have to buy it.

Who are we kidding, they'd still have GFB. Their goal isn't to dissuade "abusers," it's to dissuade use over the entire group.

Nope, that gives us less sick accrual. Hard pass.

Reign in GFB, leave the hours alone.

Buck is just being purposefully obtuse. He spends his time simping for Delta even in retirement. If you look at his post history they're all anti-pilot.

This is true but the doctor has discretion about how much they are willing to communicate to a third party on their (3rd party) form. Most will write whatever generalized statement you ask them to write but they can refuse.

Concerning sick leave - once you call out for a trip as a line holder you are fully pay protected no matter what day of the trip you call in well. The only thing calling in well does is allows you to fly and lower your sick bank deduction - is this all correct.

Thanks Scoop

Latest numbers regarding Delta’s AUS strategy. DL working with 4 dedicated gates and 2 common-use gates - set to have 15 gates in 2030.

2--Delta Air Lines passengers totaled 302,647, up 9%;

3--American Airlines passengers totaled 298,579, down 19.3%

Top three for the year, January thru April:
