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

Already addressed. On reserve, I make it a point to check. ICrew or call the VRU as close as possible to 1501 ATL time. Works good, lasts a long time.

That works fine if your base is on east coast time...... Just make sure you are aware that the schedule check is on or after 1500 base time. That bit me a few years ago......

Heyas Shiz,

The "87 hour average" is calculated by dropping all lines that are below 70 hours.

There were several months where folks were getting sub-70 hour lines (and pay), and none of those lines went into the average.

Can you reference the part of the policy manual or location of documentation that backs up that claim?

.....Not saying it can't happen, I am saying I HIGHLY doubt that it happened as you describe. If it is like you describe, I will be there with you in working to rectify such fuzzy math...

Call the MEC Treasurer. Be sure to ask about the data set.

You can find his email/phone number on the DALPA site.

I know, I know, you don't get to do NCE anymore, which isn't nice. But your base doesn't look to bad from a different perspective!;)

I think your numbers are off, but either way they don't account for pilots coming with the airplanes, or the change in the mix of flying. We lost the 777, and gained a similar number of A320 seats. The ER FO dropped about 100 pilots. The 400 came up, but I think that was a net negative for existing pilots, because the pilots either followed, or bumped an ATL ER guys to the NYC ER. In terms of seniority in category, I sure am behind-my pre-merger position, and the flying sucks far more, for a constant relative seniority anyway.

Which doesn't take away from the fact that most of the domiciles took hits also. I know this to be true, because all the poor, the huddled masses, are right here.

Yes, my numbers were off.

In March 2008 the contractual staffing formula required 856 pilots for NYC. Actual staffing was 943.

I was off by 100. Sorry about the error.

Been in lots of briefs lately and have not heard it discussed. First I heard of this was your post. While being possible I think your scenario is highly unlikely, too many variables to make it plausible.
