You can call the 800-221-1212 number to speak with a refund specialist also.
FYI, they get bombarded with p1ssed off people all day long, so being friendly can really make their day.

My MEC/LEC tab
Select DAL MEC
On the right is a box called "quick links"
click "contract language"
click on "live contract"
download, Read and enjoy. (Hint, look at Section 12)
When you still have questions, call 1800-USA-ALPA M-F 0800-2000 or post a question on the social media tab, committee corner, then the applicable committee.
Page 5 of NNP #8 also has that answer.
Get a real answer from a person with actual expertise.
Avoid APC for a proper contractual knowledge base.
This is not a slight to all the smart people on here, it is a protection for any pilot who wants to know answers to real questions, the CPO isn't going to buy your "but a guy on APC said I could do that" excuse.

Shiz,
I'm not so sure about that, the very detail you provide above actually contradicts your own conclusion, which I have highlighted.
I have always had good luck getting answers on this thread. Normally good info and usually points me in the right direction.
Disclaimer - a little common sense is required - get the information and then check it. One should not blindly accept information from any web forum without verifying or double checking it.

Dude: Oh, no. I fly the big international jets.
Girl: Like a 747?
Dude: No, no. A little smaller. We call it the E-R. It's the Boeing 767-300ER. The ER means extended range, it's an international airplane.
Girl: Uh huh... what's that loud noise? OH LOOK!!!!!
Girl: GOSH, ever since that Denzel movie, MD-80s are so freaking hot. Too bad you don't fly those!

Weekly updated says AE due out any day, "early next week". Said will mostly be to back fill the early outs. Good to see backfilling as opposed to just reducing the staffing. Perhaps this AE might have a little forward movement for a change.
