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

Unless they don't backfill narrowbody positions in places like LAX and SLC. There has got to be somebody who has an AE in for those positions so for them not to backfill those kinda stinks. What we want to see is backfills everywhere except NYC and DTW, then we will know it is because nobody is bidding the positions. :)

They don't need to backfill the NB's out west since the few slots they had open were filled by furlough bypass guys :rolleyes:

I don't remember much (if anything) in the way of west coast slots being offered to FUR guys.

They were not offered anything that wasn't previously offered to us.

They were offered LAX, SLC, and MSP slots. I know pilots displaced from SLC and MSP trying to get back and I know pilots that have been trying to get to LA for years. Your statement is inaccurate. It is a huge sore spot for some of our pilots.

I'm sure you noticed that MSP went way down the list this bid and pilots were reinstated there.

I'll look more into LAX and SLC slots as I didn't remember those being offered to the furbees.

Edit: There were 5 SLC 320 and 5 LAX 73N offered to the FUR B's.

Recalled furlough bypass pilots were offered the following categories in seniority order:

73N B - DTW(25), LAX(5) and NYC(20)
320 B - DTW(7), NYC(8) and SLC(5)
M88 B - ATL(18), CVG(1), MSP(9) and NYC(2)
717 B - ATL(39) and DTW(37)

That is going to suck in the summertime…..
