Kind of. The hotel is paid only through indoc. Once you're through indoc, you're on your own. Needs to be fixed IMO.

Plus, there is a flat monthly salary given which is called training pay. Can't remember the exact amount. I'd have to check.

hi

heck idw, but post it over on the main forum and let them answer.

heck I'll do it, I'll create a thread.

The thread has been created. We shall see what the SWA guys say if they answer. I'm sure if our A320 guys added their numbers it'd be mind boggling.

The devil is in the details. :rolleyes: Go look up how many days you worked and then we'll have that comparison discussion.

The real winners are the 717 guys who are not flying at all.

Our A320 guys have been getting a TON of greenslips. I'm sure if the senior SWA guys that take full advantage of their system chime in, it'll be mind boggling too.

As one guy said, "The problem with Green Slips is, you have to fly them!"

My favorite trips are the ones they buy from me and I stay home, not the ones where you have to show up and work more.

They do - I can pull up my schedule and rotations from Jan 2011. Is three years old not enough?

Okay, I figured out how to get the old monthly schedules (thank you), but when I try to get the rotations it says something like 'check rotation date'. I can only get rotations for a few months back.

Your daily apologies for management and/or DALPA are at least predictable.
You being wrong is also predictable.

Nobody is asking Delta to prepare their tax return or give advice. However, it would be simple for them to provide us with a year end compilation of the information needed to accurately fill out the Employee Business Expense form 2106 that we all file every year.

I agree that the data is there. But the way Delta stores it makes it extremely difficult for an individual pilot to go back at the end of every year and get it out of the computer in a usable form.

For you to claim that a pilot can "easily do it yourself" is just laughable.
Flightline and Pro-Diem would not exist if that were the case.


It took me 20 minutes to pull all 12 months schedules and all rotations I flew for the year.

Enter the reserve Green-slip. Straight pay - yes. Albeit, above the cap and finally, here is the most important part, you get your days off back. :D
