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

Maybe. But the Crew Planning did say to expect 7ER FO displacements. Maybe they'll all be in ATL? :confused:

I'm tired of training. It'd be nice to actually settle into a category.

My bet is there will be displacements in every category but the DC9 in ATL.

And I don't mean the sky is falling so we're displacing, expect furloughs, maybe the bubonic plague.

I just think the intent is to staff the 717 in such a way that is 88 MDs and some DC9 AEs and they'll massage it to make that happen. But hopefully I'm wrong.

I thought she went down in a Blackhawk during a USO tour in Iraq. Matt Damon carried her out.

Bid what you want and want what you bid. The closing of the 767 domestic category will make it interesting. Also, opening the DTW 73N category.

The crew resources update that was just put out said there would be at least 100 crews for ATL 717 and they may possibly open up DTW in addition to that. Too bad they aren't growth airplanes (at least initially). Going to be a lot of displacements.

It'll likely need to pass about 150 crews in order to break into growth (parking of the 9).

Our codeshare partner is really enjoying the hawaii flying we are helping them with.

Anybody remember the good old days when 767-400s went there out of ATL, SEA, SFO, LAX, a 767 from SLC, plus 757s to the out lying cities and NW with 757-300s from SEA, SFO, LAX, plus a 330 from MSP?

Yeah... those were the days. :)

So what you're saying is my reasoning of not going to SWA because I want to fly international is becoming flawed?

when we make mistakes in the airplane--whether intentional or not--there are consequences.

the company itself must be held accountable, just like we are. the award was published before it was ready. That's Delta's mistake. Delta needs to honor the more favorable awards from both runs, and eat whatever green slips result.

ALPA should be there to make sure Delta is held accountable... not just to hold Delta's hand.

I guess we could go in and demand that. The company response would be simple. Ok, we are never going to publish a vacation or PBS award again until the deadline. We have tried to get things posted as quick as possible but those days are gone. We will use every minute available to us.
