I'll fly it! I doubt we'll get them, though.. they are far far too adept at whacking jumbo RJ's and putting them out of service.

But, if we do... I'll be all over that fat chick like its last call, and I hope it pays a few more bucks an hour than the 744/777, just to make tsquare squirm a bit more on top of the twitches from us buying airbus.


I saw that korean air has a truck follow them around the airport to verify wingtip clearance! Delta probably called them to protect our the newest planes in the fleet (jumbo RJs).

Are we allowed to deviate from a front end deadhead on DCI?

Yes, just book it. Live contract chapter 8:
(definitions)
32 6. “On-line transportation” means travel on Delta Air Lines, Inc. and Delta Connection
33 Carriers in category A operations (i.e., not a prorate agreement).
...... little later on...

Well, it looks like there will be an Oct AE. I will eat crow on my whining after the single layer backfilling on the previous one.

Let's hope it's a good one!

DLpilot

Hope so. Where did you read this?

80ktsClamp

Crew Resources Oct update. It's about half way down the page with the other monthly updates.


For those of you looking to see if your category gets an extra X day, it's in the ALV/RLL document on the left hand side.

I will go have to re read the CR Oct Update but I recall a remark about the next AE being this fall/winter. I hope it means there will be one in the fall and one in the winter. Can you cut n' paste the part that siad there WILL be a fall AE?
