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

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

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

Scoop

Yep, works well on 88. Done 2 this month. Only issue is you have to fly the weekends usually.

You do you're thing your way, and I'll do my things my way.

Buzz one day when your Captain and your FO is eating a cheesesteak, you now think he is not a classy Delta pilot. As they say on ESPN, Come on MAN!

Now you have to figure out the proration of partial days and go layover by layover through the date to come up with the number you need for 2106.

I used to print all my rotations and schedules to One Note and do the calculations on layovers. At the end of the year I would add it all up and was done with it. For $50 it is WAY easier than digging it all out of I-Crew and doing all the math myself. Plus, and an auditor won't question Pro-Diem or Flightline.

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.

I don't know, I use the iCrewMax plug in for Firefox, I just click on the rotations on my schedule.

Incorrect. You cannot WS/GS over the entire footprint of the trip you dropped with an APD, even if you only specified one day for the APD.

I don't think this is correct. I just dropped an entire 4 day by APD one day then picked up a white slip overlying the last two days of the dropped trip. You cannot pick up anything on your APD day, however.

You are correct. Purple is not. I have dropped trips with an APD then GS'd on the days that were "shadow" dropped. Good way to make the same amount of money by working less days if the coverage works out right and you have not used your APD. I do it every year in the month before my anniversary date if I haven't used my APD.

What is the age to sit in first/business class as a non-rev? I'm thinking we're almost there...

I think it's 8, unless they raised it to 10.

I know. Started a whole thread dedicated to it. Me, you and RJ guys responded.
