Go to the Delta Net Flight Ops page, click on your aircraft type, there should be all the info there you'll need, r.e. initial training, requal, recurrent, etc.
If you can't find what you need, find the Fleet Capt.'s phone number listed there, call him tomorrow, ask him to send you what you need. That's why they have an office job, to serve their fleet's pilots, so don't be shy, they can answer all your questions. |

that's a lot higher than "just 80."
JB thread says theyve got 30 320 Captains and 10 190 Captains returning to Delta. |
I say 160 or 80%.

Exactly. We want guys who have been dragged into the LCA position.
It's the guys chomping at the bit, and campaigning to be LCAs that are always problematic. :eek: |

I think when your dealing with the Feds it all boils down to money, lobbyists, and greasing the right wheels. Depending on how things shake out with this AA-US merger will be very telling on how this industry consolidates and changes in the the future. Personally I see it going through after certain slots and markets are gift-horsed out to the luckiest competitor. If I was a betting man I'd say SWA will get the most out of it, and we'll probably eek out a few things from it as well. The harm of stopping this merger outweighs the harm that would be created from it. We got in just under the wire on our merger and one other big transaction: Although management and the union misled (to use the polite word) the pilot group about the LGA/DCA slot swap with US Air, after last week's news that whole deal now looks like pure gold for Delta. We got a lock on a big chunk of LGA slot capacity before the Justice Dept. decided to begin their little anti-trust hissy fit and US Air got a bunch of DCA slots that it now looks like they might have to surrender. It wouldn't even surprise me if we ended up with some of those same slots back, although most of any divested slots will probably go to new entrants willing to fly to some Congressman's district that doesn't currently have direct DCA service. |
you know what makes me mad? the thought that pilots who get one of those red A Job Well Done cards from a frequent flier would turn those in for personal gain?!? No. You take those home and you keep them to remind you of who matters most and not go sniveling to the CPOs for some personal gain.
I mean if I did that Id have to turn in 10-12 of those per trip. And that's just for a 2 day trip. But I dont. Fly right people, fly right. /posting on Delta provided tablet practice |

Just because they sent a letter back saying yes doesn't mean they'll show up for class... There isn't a penalty for prolonging the decision, but if you now out now you have no option later.
A simple "Thanks, but no thanks" would seem far more prudent. |
quick question, 1 for 2 rules?

K. Duty Period Credit (“1 for 2”) 29 30 1. A pilot who reports for duty will be guaranteed a minimum duty period credit. Such 31 credit will be calculated on the greater of scheduled or actual duty time, prorated on a 32 minute-by-minute basis, for each duty period, as follows: 33 a. one hour credit for ever y two hours of duty time from 0600 to 2200 (pilot’s base 34 time), and 35 b. one hour credit for every one and three quarters hours of duty time, 36 1) from 2200 to 0600 (pilot’s base time), or 37 2) from 2200 to release from a duty period that includes 0359 (pilot’s base time). 38 2. A pilot who is granted a personal drop for a duty period(s) or portion thereof, will not be 39 eligible for duty period credit for such duty period(s). |
