Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

Hey 80,

Look at Negotiators notepad 12-12 under scheduling section. It says that the point at which a reserve is "full" does not change until December.

I am aware that New hire Pilots have housing paid for during the first 2 weeks of indoc and then you are on your own.

Can anyone give me details of what they have done?
Hotel, Crashpad, RV,
How long is the training footprint?

Trying to plan ahead of time and start saving $ towards this time so thats one lest thing to worry about.

Thanks

You're probably a planner like the rest of us, but you may want to wait until indoc to get recommendations on places to stay in Atlanta. The new hire coordinator will help step you through everything you need, and one big help he could give you is in hotels/crashpads during sim training.

Early out update from a CPO type yesterday. Up to about 160 now, approx 10 per day. He said he expected about 300 total by the 30th.

Anyone have the time or the patience to explain how the swap board really works?

If I want to pick up a trip, does my schedule have to be clear for the days that operate?

Is there a way for me to pick up a trip, and not have to give up a trip I already have on my line in the blind without knowing if I can get the trip beforehand?

Ok. Those are the two main questions.

Didn't we have a bunch of guys who put in for the early out last time rescind it either right before the cutoff date or right after it?

A "swap with the pot" is only going to be awarded if the days dropped (and not covered up with the new trip) are above min coverage.

A "swap board" pickup has to be over off days, or you can personal drop your trip that is on your schedule and then pick up the trip from the swap board.

A personal drop and swap with the pot are both processed on a PCS run.
A swap board transaction can occur at any time.

PM if you want more info.
