No, I think DAL is in a position to exploit a few options.

They are looking for our help on HND.

Any samples, or talking points, posted anywhere? I like to add a little whipped cream to the Apple Pie and we need a job ... .

Schedule bidding opens. :p :D

As far as Asia, keep in mind DL has requested to postpone the Guangzhou slot... Much less expand on it.

Sorry to derail but I need your guys' guidance because I can't figure it out on Icrew.

I have 2 weeks of vacation in october and I'm trying to move the second week to the front of my vacation.
Do I do that under the "split to create lower priority vacation" or the "move any or all of vacation" section? Another issue that may or may not be an issue is the vacation week I want to move to starts on the last day of September, will the system not allow me to move it since it will interfere with September?

Sorry for all the questions but if anyone can help me out, I'd really appreciate it!

Heyas Tri,

The vacation move-up process is probably the least understood and least transparent of any of the bid processes (other than maybe SC assignment).

Your very best bet is to call the "vacation people" directly, and ask them your questions. The number can be found in the list of frequently called numbers, under "Vacations and Vacation Move Ups", located in the front of the monthly bid packet.

I know we are hardwired to try to do things via iCrew, but sometimes it's just better to go to the source and talk to a live person.

You will not be able to move into a Sep vacation now. You would have to have put it in the computer last month. Sep is done and gone as far as moveups. What you can however do is use the new vacation move feature in PBS. A friend did almost exactly what you want this month. Call the PBS guys as its a somewhat hard to understand process. You wont be able to move into Sep but could slide everything to 1 oct.

I believe so - it's going to be satellite based for them.
