Weid. I will report you post so the admin from Internt Brands sees it

I don't see why people are all bent out of shape over the hotel for newhires deal. Our newhire pay is better than anyone else out there and the health insurance kicks in day 1. That more than offsets the cost of putting yourself up for a couple of weeks.

We do get single occupancy hotels during indoc and then we are on the hook during sim training. I ran behind the hotel we were in for indoc, found a crash pad in less than 10 minutes (there are tons back in that neighborhood), and had a house to stay in the entire month for $250. I had a full kitchen, private room, and a nice living room to study in. Beat the heck out of a hotel room for a month. If I had to do it all over again and I had a company paid hotel, I'd go pay for a crashpad again on my own dime.

In the April-June 2008 hiring boom at Comair, Delta provided new hire pilots with paid hotel rooms for the entire training cycle.

This was done freely, i.e. did not require any changes to the PWA.

However there were over a dozen regional airlines hiring from the same pool of applicants, and IIRC this was done so the Comair subsidiary could "keep up" rather than "get ahead"

FYI the times are as follows

643 minutes for 88 initial
88 minutes for 90 differences
59 minutes for WWO


Total 13 hrs and 10 mins total

It was short on my time card total credit was 5:52 and should have been 6:35 I think I can't make the math work. I will contact training planning thx.

I went back and added up the times as listed on the CD menu pages and they are higher than what the welcome letter states. How do they decide how much to pay is there some type of average or is it strictly based on runtime?

Welcome to flying Douglas products. This is part of your initiation. From now on nothing will work quite like it is supposed to. Fortunately NASA developed a Flight Log for Douglas aircraft that many pilots have found helpful.

Just posted Delta's new payscale on APC... here's a quick look:

Best movie ever.

"Looks like I've got myself some diesel-9, eh? You're quick, real quick. Never seen a man beat the Douglas before. A feller, a quick feller, he might have an ADF under there. I'd have to pin his head to the panel..."

Try turning compatibility mode on for apc. "Tools, Compatibility Mode". Or "Tools", Compatibility settings (and add apc as a URL to use CM).

Its run time, and I would first e-mail your rep, and contract admin. They may have a better answer as to why.

WWO on the MD88? Thought that might be World Wide Ops, but it is probably Weight on Wheels Operations ... a course which explains all the levers, pulleys, cables and mechanical relays which get out of rig, as well as the human factors, poorly designed spoiler handle, bucket scraping, lack of powered controls, brake issues, steering issues, hydraulic failures, aft CG nosewheel steering effectivity, autopilot (autoland abnormalities) and pilot parallax issues that result in the airplane going in a direction other than intended while the weight is on the wheels.

The good news is that it seems to be designed to bounce off stuff and is easy to repair. Those things on the forward fuselage have nothing to do with managing airflow during a uncoordinated stall, they are curb feelers. Stalls with the ball out of center aren't recoverable.

Now that 5 leg days and Jackson Mississippi overnights have moved to the 737, I'm preparing for the nonstop thrill ride that is the MD88. Anyone know if we need to take Malarone for JAN? Recall on MD88 IOE for the obligatory new hire qual beverage we walked to a convenience store and shared a tall boy (two cups) while sitting on the curb.
