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

But is it 30 cumulative Hours or consecutive. If I add a 30 rest period to the beginning, its 177 hours....over the 168. I know I must be making this more complicated than it is. Missing something.

Consecutive. But the look back is required PRIOR to starting day 7 not at the end. If you look back from the start of day 7 there are 138 hours without a 30 hour break - which is 30 hours under 168. So at the start of day 7, you are good to go.

This has been a way to get crews to Asia, will this cause more DH's to NRT or is something else happening?

thanx

Thank DALPA for signing away 15% of our flying and giving relief on the minimum number of NRT slots to allow code share. More flying going to Alliance members.:mad:

And I think we all saw it coming.

So will they go forward with the Windows Pro or scrap the whole thing?

I am confused as usual. Does not a "rolling" look back imply before, during, and after. :confused:

There's free food under A27?

Thank you for the facts supporting your assertions.

I can see now that our work rules are better than they have ever been prior to chapter 11. 3 day trips worth less than 14 hours. We certainly work a lot less days than we ever have in the past 30 years.

And don't get me started on our incredible scope. It's like a fantasy dream. Over 50% of our domestic departures flow by DCI carriers. I bet our ALPA forefathers never dreamed we would come this far. And the alliances!! Giving half our flying to foreign carriers. The widebody promotions are coming so fast it's like winning the Super Bowl and the World Series at the same time.

A select few won the lottery at Delta and now they spend their time at the top telling us how great things are. They are a cancer. They subvert our advancement and our profession.

It is 2014 and ALPA is so pathetic their pilots cannot have internet access to view hazardous weather and their passengers can. ALPA cannot accomplish the simplest of tasks. They are to busy advising regional carriers to make concessions when there is no supply of pilots to hire.

I got mine. So the rest of you can eat dirt.

I use to get schedule change texts. Can't remember if that was from ALPA or Crew Notification on DeltaNet. Anyone know? I didn't change anything but not getting them anymore.

I was informed that none of the buy backs were inversely forced but would haves if necessary. Just hoping this doesn't become a more common staffing tool.

I don't think they can require buybacks...can they? My sim partner in recurrent a couple weeks ago had sold his... I gave him the appropriate level of crap (we've flown together a number of times and get along great). He said he had no plans, so why not...

Looks like 40% of us B's on are call in jan again. They are setting us all up to be the accumulators for the reroutes for all the DTW and MSP pilots that pass through ATL everyday.

You and I have probably flown together. See you on a short call for a reroute in Jan.

Schedule changes from swaps, WS, GS, etc would be Crew Notification Preferences on DeltaNet.

If we APD a rsv day, can you swap that for picking up a rsv day elsewhere in the month? I'd rather not take the pay hit, but have to do what I have to do to get my son's first bday off.
