Classic! Thanks for that BB. I laughed so loud my wife came in from two rooms away to ask what was so funny! I had to show her. She laughed pretty good too.

on our positive space deadhead flights we use to be able to change our seat to Economy Comfort now it says there's a $29.00 charge, do you guys know if we can't do this for free anymore or is that wrong?

It's free within 24 hrs of departure. I recommend setting an alarm!:eek:

K,thank you

Delta raised to 33.00 in forecast this morning on Faux.

Sweet-even more short term multi millionaires at the dal.

Stock's at $24.87..... I like it, I like it!

So I pre-posted military leave this month (a weeks worth) and with the government shut down my military trip will likely be cancelled. With that in mind I called the CPSC to see if I could cancel my military leave and fill my schedule back up with reserve days (I'm on reserve).

I was informed that the company is under no obligation to do that for me. This response surprised me since we are short reserves over the weekend that I was requesting.

Just a word of advise... It may not be in your best interests to pre-post military leave during these turbulent times. Your efforts to help the company will not be met with the same courtesy.

Exactly. That is why I hardly ever post my MIL LV in advance - too dicey. Even without the shutdown we would always have trips or detachments cancel. Its a trade-off between giving the company adequate notice and ensuring your MIL duty will actually be funded. With that being said I do remember calling the schedulers once and having my MIL LV removed. I assume you already talked to your scheduler?

Scoop

Just curious, is this why the Company never awards enough weekends off to reserves? Since we've improved reserve language and senior pilots have engaged in shrimping the lower depths, it seems every month my request for weekends off is denied, only to see that the end result has a half dozen or more available pilots over reserves required.

When I've asked I've been told it was to account for Mil Leave.

So do we have more staffing while the government is shut down? How does this work?
