Dec PCS run
 

Note on Icrew that they are having technical issues with the Dec run and it will be updated NLT 0900E. No date was noted since its past 0900E

My guess -- The computer is choking on FAR 117.
The cascade of error messages and phantom violations is probably a mile long.

If they can't fix it today, DALPA's reaction will indeed be interesting.
Once again, we will probably be "constructive" and get zilch in return.


BTW - Delta is not the only airline having computer "issues" with this scheduling rules transition.

Doesn't bode well for the trip construction in January. I think there is gonna be a lot of sitting around in hotels due to the rest requirements.

Some Lindsey Stirling while we wait.

Check,

Cool video.

But, can you imagine what a wood body stringed instrument would do in those conditions?


Also, she's more of that LDS Church "forbidden fruit" which IMO just makes her more attractive.

Talked to a couple reps last month about this. Expect more long layovers and credit time as they work to figure out new rules. The issue is not the current trip construction as our PWA is more in line than note with 117. The big issue is IROPs and the flexibility to handle them. No more legal to start legal to finish is going to cause the most issues during IROPs. Expect reroutes and Inverse assignments to be used to manage the schedule for the next few months.

The 88/90 fleet was singled out as the fleet with the most issues.

Translation: we waited too long to hire now all of you (and our customers) will pay the price with work day disruption, lost days off, and unproductive trips. Combine that with poor contract language regarding lost days off and you have a perfect way to "fix the glitch."

:) Meaning more pay for everyone ... I figure Douglas "issues" result in about 10% of the pay in the other narrow body categories as everyone else enjoys white and green slips to cover ... Nothing better than a HSV or BHM short overnight that pays you between 10:30 and 21:00 :)

She is a little doll. Cute as a button. Unique and very talented.
And you're right. The whole Mormon purity thing is somehow incredibly alluring.
Refreshing change from the Miley Cyrus approach to female music careers.

P.S. If you create a Pandora channel based on her music it plays really great stuff. If you like dubstep violin and that sort of thing. David Garrett, etc. I enjoy pop music and rock and roll adapted to strings.

IA's are pretty rare. We are green slip *****s. Expect more green slips. I believe a green slip has to be offered before someone is rerouted. It can't be any worse than last summer. I was rerouted about every trip. Long layovers could be nice. Most of my 4 days are close to 21 hours anyhow.
