I have two routes I regularly fly often on paid tickets. In July I was able to purchase roundtrip tickets for 600 with two weeks lead time. Tickets 3 months out for the same route in April and again in May were 1600! The other route typically ran 400 to 500. Can’t touch it for less than 890 now even with status on American and reduced rate tickets on Delta. We also tend to be more than American on competing routes to the extent they are cheaper than fly for less tickets.

The only justification I’ve heard for this (IMHO) idiotic practice is simply to “prove” pilots abuse sick leave, as evidenced by higher callouts in May. What do current numbers show? Haven’t seen them lately.

Didn’t Alpa put something out a few weeks ago saying sick calls were down?

Heaven forbid you advocate for pilots instead of the company line.

You would more than likely have to prove that after talking to a chief pilot. It is the same thing if you turn down a reroute. If you lie and it's not true, that's where you get into trouble working for Delta.

What if you lie and you’re running Delta?

Then you are ok. No problems there.

The likeminded board of directors has your back.

We have 376 pilots on mil leave, 752 pilots on disability, 8 FML’s and 36 PLOA for a total of 1172 pilots on the seniority list but not active.

Any idea how it compares to 2019 numbers? I’m guessing similar.

No chief pilot or anyone at the company is going to call you for turning a different trip down. It doesn’t happen now and won’t happen ever for this hypothetical scenario.
