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

Have you ever gotten a terrible schedule? And then tried to fix it via pcs?

But you got a few little dates wrong and now your wife is really, really mad?

I have.

That's nothing. Try forgetting that you had a bid in for 767 captain at any base, and getting an award to LAX 7ER... when you live in MCO... and SHE has no intention of moving... and sitting reserve in MCO was not a real option... Mad didn't begin to describe it.

Rookie... :D

But really.. I feel your pain.

Sorry, taking the wife to a movie.

May I use 2 payback days over a 4 day trip or do I need 4 payback days?

When you have a regular line, it only takes one day to drop the trip. Reserve is different.

Quick question regarding an LOR.

A friend recently submitted one for me. I sent the link to his DAL email, but in the email field on the Airlineapps website he put his own personal email address. Does that make a difference? It was obviously sent from the DAL email account but I'm wondering if DAL sorts internal LOR's via the email field in Airlineapps......just wondering if I need to ask him to resubmit it. Thanks.

I would ask him to resubmit using his delta.com e-mail for contact just to be sure.

What's the best way to get recognized as a legacy family member when applying to Delta? I can't seem to find a specific area in the airline apps site where it will stand out. Thanks.

Don't worry. Research was done. It was discovered very few pilots actually come close to ALV. Oh yeah, the staffing formula has not changed. This will not require less pilots. You are an exception. Just over a year from now, you will be able to sit 7 short calls. No big deal though. Research was done on that too. Very few pilots actually sit 6 short calls in a month.

Not in my category. I always get 6 short calls. They run out of people they can put on short call too because everyone hits the max before the end of the month. But I also went 6 weeks without flying, so I can't really complain.

forgot to bid

MSP 73N?? Really? Thanks for all the contract help though. Just remember, short duration, fewer RJs, ratio, 20% raise 3 years, good deal. Have a great night.

Bill, can I ask a quick question?

If you are senior on the 88, when were you hired? pre 9/11 right?

All times are GMT -8. The time now is 01:46 PM.
