Directions to the calculators are on page 4 or 5. They're excel attachments to the pdf file. Pretty useful spreadsheets that are very well thought out.

Beat me to it.

I think this may have been a case of not realizing how the tone might appear to come across. That being said, his point is very valid....we have quite a way to go on toward getting vacation where it should be, IMHO. It's kind of sad that it would take two whole weeks of vacation to get to that point on resv. I guess I'm a glass half-full on this topic--I look at it as to how much resv I have left on my plate in a month when I take a week of vacation--it doesn't add up to much, really.

EXACTLY. every time I look at the #required report, it is less... less and less and less. In fact, it has ALWAYS stayed about 200-500 numbers LESS than my seniority #! So every single AE, I look and I see that I am EXCESS to what the company NOW needs to run the airline. Always 6 months ago I was hoping to be under the wire at my current seniority... and they always move the bar lower!

Sorry Imapilot, but for those of us who for 12 years have watched the company reduce the # of pilots required, always just less than where we sit, we KNOW that we are just one un-voted side-letter away from being furloughed again... just one 757 retirement away... just one 737 being outsourced again to DCI away...

Yes, it's a big thing. Great on the company for being productive, if my #1 concern in life was the value of return on my Delta stock I'd be saying "sweeet!" But my concern is with my flying career-- I'm locked into a position here at Delta by a totally bogus non-portable seniority system that resets me to college grad status if I try to take my 30 years of flying experience and skills and market myself-- I CAN'T "go somewhere else if you don't like it!". I pay a significant chunk of my salary each month to my bargaining agent to PROTECT my fragile position, NOT to make Delta more productive. Each 5 months another AE comes out showing how my position has degraded, and how I am now even closer to the bottom of the pile and even closer to being furloughed as excess. Bah on that! If I was #1 concerned about stock returns, I'd be prosecuting investor initiatives to limit executive compensation to only 20 times the average worker's salary. Someone out there is seriously doing a better job looking out for executive pay and bonuses than my union is doing looking out for my pay and bonuses, and it's worrisome.

OTOH I had some really superb cask ale and brisket tonight, so I'm not entirely bitter ;) Cask ale... bitter... you see what I did there? ;)

Truce accepted still want to know which names you locked on in that report

On the 22.D.3 reports, I guess you can say there is less than there was. Note this is 2012 vs 2014, not 2008 vs 2014 and it's using the numbers from the 22.D.3 reports (or the person who has been tracking them).
