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

This system is totally inadequate compared to the information we had available at NWA. I know you are tired of hearing it, but would you just get beyond that for one moment and think about having really good information verses shooting in the dark. You have no idea that this system is totally bull crap.

Ok, I'll bite. You guys had separate block/rsv categories which made it easy to know the divide. What other info did you have that we dont?

I was referring to ATL7ERB. Several guys greater than #10,000 (like me, NWA Oct 1999 hire, DAL Feb 2001 equivalent) ended up with lines because so many senior guys bid reserve, I guess.

You pulled up the perference list and saw everyone bidding the position including name his current position and if he had a freeze. In this particular bid you could have seen who had a RMA award in front of you. but I guess that does not matter as it is better to just shoot in the dark or stick your hand into a grab bag and be happy with what you pull out. At least with the other system you knew if you even wanted to stick your hand in the bag.

Call crew planning. Efficient and easy as I could ever hope for.
