DAL generally schedules with a half our buffer.
It cleared DBMS, so I'm assuming that the FPO turn makes my 6 days of flying between Georgia and the Carolinas an "international two man operation" If I don't fly under by an hour and twelve minutes on day 1-5, I'll be sure to check with scheduling just to cover myself.

ah perfect thanks!

Let me guess....If we vote this TA we will purchase 88 717's. If we do, we may need to hire during the fall 2012.

Basic info

DAL is out right beating our competiton and business travelers are responding.

Flt Ops wants to hire (bid was delayed while Flt ops tried to prove the need to hire, but did not win). Hiring is slated to start JAN 2014. This summer is going to be busy. But nothing like pilot needs in 2014, Hence the need for pilots as soon as the green light is given.

Network is maximizing SEA LAX. We will provide the feed AS cannot give and we will protect our flying and feed with DAL metal. RJ building of market and switching to DAL metal is working and will be used aggressively.

Over all positive. I will answer any PM from DAL guys if you have specifics I will answer the best I can...


Feeling good that I will not be commuting for much longer!

Fiig

From a DAL wannabe, this sounds great. Hopefully good things to come for all DAL pilots! Thanks for sharing

While I like reading juicy insider rumor stuff as much as the next guy, we have to be somewhat careful if you expect him to continue to dish the info. As I recall, he got a little miffed last year when the notes from a Line Check Airmen's meeting he briefed showed up on numerous forums.
