Post-Positive Space Issues?
 

Have there been any? I have been off but I really didn’t expect any. I know everyone is worried about the holidays but was wondering if there were any war stories yet.

we have 3000+ new pilots at DL since the LOA went into play allowing PS…there will definitely be issues. I’ve already had to explain what to do with 2 previous mentees off probation

I’ve heard they’re loading up on SC numbers compared to normal, possibly in anticipation of issues…wonder if they’ll hand out the limit of SC before Thanksgiving, when they really need it.

I have been looking at SC in my category (NYC320A) and they are handing out about 2x the normal SC, and this is with reserves thin already.

I mean at least they’ve got the 1 day guys starting SC at 0300 and 0500…

Yeah. I'm pretty sure the day I call in well, I'm getting SC 12:01 after my call. Because they are going to burn all the SCs up at this rate. I will be fairly high credit and probably in RAW bucket 2, but 0/6 for SC

It’s a medical certitude that frequent commuting in the tiny, cramped, highly competitive jumpseats will lead to a statistically measurable uptick in anal glaucoma.

It’s science. Sad but inevitable.

No issues that I’ve heard of (other than a couple guys I know not being able to commute home). But that’s pretty much the end of picking up any extra flying for a lot of pilots. And I’m sure there will be more short call. But with how thin we are on reserves I don’t know how long that’s sustainable. Flights seem more full now than I recall them being in 2019. We shall see.

It makes no sense . If we are good enough to get positive space second flight to work then we should be good enough to get positive space going home. At the very least how about an option to become an S1A as working crew to and from work and mainline would be an S1 .

That’s how it was done when I was at Alaska. Commuters going to and from work had non-rev priority above everyone. I don’t commute anymore, but I sure appreciated it and would support it here at Delta.
