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

Kinda like Seinfeld's show ... nothing.

Somehow Seinfeld make that supremely funny. The View has a talent for making it extremely annoying. Imagine being on a date with Whoopi Goldberg and Rosi O'Donnel all trying to out cackle each other for media attention.

I may have come across something even more inane by accident. The channels on my directv some how got limited to about four or five and for some reason it was on Headline News last night as I went about editing the channels I get. As I did my editing I heard the hosts of this show discuss the topic of amusement park ride safety. The only sense I could make of this is that the audience of The View has to have something to watch in the evening that doesn't confuse them too much.

Well, being that I live a 10 hour drive, or 5 hour drive/fly south of ATL, I didn't press one, but I did turn off my ringer and went back to sleep.

I looked up the trip this morning to see who the lucky ducks were, but they never did cover it, I guess not enough guys pressed one! So it was MX CX.

Here's my question, let's say I lived in PTC, and I press one, then I get up and get dressed, pack, jump in my car and get to the airport...only to find they've cancelled the trip due to lack of interest.

What would I be paid for that? Just 2 hours suit up? Or the full value of the original trip (29:20, a DXB trip) ? Or nothing at all, since they eventually showed it as MX CX?

And should I always press one, then go back to sleep? :D

You would get single pay and credit for the rotation.

I believe you have two choices. First you could go into 23K for the rotation and receive straight pay. Second choice refuse 23K and get no pay.

The Call In Honest policy is to be used only a few times in a pilot's career, and only after a well planned commute goes to pot, which this summer, was a weekly occurrence. Hardly a free ticket to work, and only used at the company's discretion. You are still on your own as a commuter.[/QUOTE]

I think the well planned commute is a back up, can't do much about it when your base is closed or you get displaced to another base.:mad:

So put it this way, you fire that shot and 3 million women out there will just mindlessly turn to another channel.
