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

BB, I think something is up, that's all. And it isn"t the first drops of Jet-A out of Trainer. There are some unusual ALPA trip drops on the schedule for next month.

Q. Are they about the time of our Special MEC meeting that coincides with the ALPA BOD meeting? Ala Merger Committee brief? That is nothing totally out of the ordinary fwiw.

Quick question for the all knowing thread: I bid reserve this month (like an idiot), & remember seeing some discussion on here about guys timing out.

If the guarantee on my line is 72, can they assign me a trip that takes me over? Or am I essentially done for the month when i get to 72 hrs of credit?Thanks!

Depends on contract implementation dates. Old contract your full at the ALV. New contract your full at the reserve guarantee.

Ice you're right as this will be the first realignment, but ATL is not congested. The flying out of here is increasing but being done by crews not only from ATL but NYC, CVG, LAX, SLC, and DTW 744 and 330 crews. And if the rumor is right then the 320 and 9 should be here soon doing fly throughs with no base. This is the realignment of 765s and the elimination of the 767 category. The problem for ATL pilots is no 330 base on this AE so seats go out but don't come in. I think we really wish we had a 320 or 9 base in this AE but we didn't get anything but a kick in the privates.

Our best or only hope here in ATL is they decide to go fat. But I'm not planning on it. Jew Gardens here I come!

HA! iPhone autocorrects typing, type Kew and it replaces it with Jew. Funny.

Someone then got 70+ hours of FPL. All that and not an elected rep or chair of a commitee.

Like I posted before Compass is still full steam ahead with hiring I guess, why would they do that if the flow wont happen until a year from now? "ya guys you got the job but you wont be in class until October...2013" The HR rep said they did not want to hire too many too soon because they lose interest after awhile. Some of the people have already been in the pool since April, a year from now will be a long time and doubtful they would accept a class. I still believe something is up...but just my optimistic observation.

Buzz is going to kill me, but I missed the game last night and just watched the hail marry on replay.

I have to say, Tate should've been called for pass interference but wasn't. I'm not sure if anyone was in position to see it so who knows.

But I think it was a TD. I think it was a tie catch until after they were on the ground.

If it had been called the other way, it'd still be a controversy, just in SEA.

Scheduling is still running under the old PWA until 1 Dec. You won't be assigned anything once you hit 70 hours. After 1 Dec who knows.

All times are GMT -8. The time now is 07:47 PM.
