Issue you may be having with Option 1 is that the flight is full and they have pulled certain booking code classes from the ability to swap seats. I have seen that happen. Flight may also be within 24hrs but not within three hrs of flight were they block the entire flight and seats resulting in the inability to move around.

Normally, I am able to move my seats under the first option multiple times.

On a side note you may be trying to book in a EC or premium seat too far out from departure (24 hrs for employees) and it is refusing to let you move.

Default Scheduling question

Can someone out there answer a 23k recovery question for me. This is my first time doing any recovery flying.

I have 23k on my schedule from the 11th - 23rd of AUG. Am I to assume that scheduling has till 0700E two days prior to my original report to assign me a trip. If they don't assign me a trip I am free to go and pay protected. If scheduling assigns me a trip, does it have to start on the 11th or can it start anytime from the 11th to 23rd.

Last question, is it to my advantage to fill out a recovery slip?

Thanks for your help,
BFS

Call 800-USA-ALPA Option 3. If they do not answer, leave a message with your employee number and they will return your call at the number you provide. They are there to help you.

I've heard it would be announced after the DAL Board of Director's meeting (after all, the board has to approve the order.) Has that happened yet?

Default MEC Update 13-2

Wow!

From the update:

"At that point, Delta expected to grow compared to JV partners Air France, KLM and Alitalia. Due to many factors, this growth beyond our “fair share” has not occurred."


So if we were to meet the "contractually agreed to" numbers then we would be flying more than our "fair share" of the flying. No wonder DALPA does not seem too concerned about this.

This brings up numerous questions:

If the contractual number is not fair - why did we and/or our partners, and the company agree to them?

If the contractual numbers do not represent our fair share of the flying then what is our fair share?

Why don't they just say the company is not meeting its obligations and we expect them to correct it?

OBTW - Who had the great idea of a 3 year measurement window anyway?

If you'd like to see Sandra Bullock all hot and bothered in a suit...

Looks like this Friday, hopefully good news will follow.
Makes sense from a stock standpoint seeing as we just posted a decent profit in Q2.
Correct me if I am wrong but if that's the case wasn't that almost a month ago?

I get the feeling that I'm being shown all the excuses on why the company will not be able to honor its portion of section 1. Almost as though I'm being prepared for bad news, or at the very least to anticipate what can be expected in the near future.

The 3 year window, in addition to the cure period, is basically useless if you ask me. March 2015 bumps up to openers for contract 2016 which undoubtedly be hung over our heads.
