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

Just correcting the Internet board misinformation. The fact that there wasn't a seat lock on new hire awards was what astounded me.

What did astound me was that you had recovery language at all. The system in place is still archaic.

Delta wouldn't have it any other way!!!

I was just trying to be reasonable. I actually agree with you.

Let's just hope Tahoe has something in it for us.

Correct. It removed all recovery obligation when removed for OE. If you do not think this is a big deal, look at all of the retirements and ensuing training in the next ten years. DAL has LCA's bid for lines and cannot hold back the corresponding B Rotation so all of those trips will be removed with no obligation. It also means that as we are short, those pilots can go and WS or GS a rotation for pay on top of the pay they receive for the removed rotation.

If I recall correctly, the quid was a 12 month seat lock for new hires.

Tahoe, will have items in it directly for Flight Ops, but not for the near term. Our FPS will talked directly to it and will adjust accordingly. (New FPS will be developed to do this) Its a huge IT work-over and my guess is the tangible items for us will be 24-36 months out.

You can't travel while on sick leave, unless the CPO approves. Once you go onto disability, you have unlimited S3B travel.

For long term disability we receive unlimited S-3B passes for employee and family (I think there may be a longevity restriction on that...over 10 yrs with the company, I think) S-3B same as retirees, with DOH priority...sucks but way better than buddy pass priority...agree active duty should have priority.
