So, if you all are talking about Beijing, go to the Embassy District. Just west of the main row where the US Embassy is are several expat bars. They will have he game.

Be warned. Many expat pilots there as well.

 

Make sure who adds a DH leg back to MSP? Tracking? If I could, I would. I talked to both the MSP CPO and the CPSC they both agreed the reroute to nowhere was bogus - but they couldn't officially change my rotation. Oh, and I use the term "rotation" loosely, since the PWA specifically defines a rotation as beginning and ending in domicile... In the end, I deviated using the VRU. Guess we'll wee what happens. What a messed up week

 

Similarly, if you have Directv and the Sunday Ticket OR a slingbox hooked up to your TV at home, you can watch your own TV from anywhere on your laptop, Ipad, or phone.

 

Thank you. I've only been looking a few days but I see lots of seats lately.

Can you educate me on this new seat config? Are the numbers I see on travelnet for available seats accurate?

We thought we would give it a go because it is low season. I have United benefits as well, they have 2x a day to EWR. With all that said....this will be my first real overseas (off-continent) trip as a nonrev so I do have some learning to do. I have commuted before in the US and know that game, but not having the backup of a jumpseat adds some stress and I will try to leave for home at least a day early. Will probably have to buy ZEDs as backup. Any other suggestions appreciated!

I also need to do some research on where I can get a cargo jumpseat (Atlas/Polar where you can go int'l) out of Europe as a further backup. My wife is good on her own for a few days if it comes down to that.

 

She needs to let her hair grow out a little. That doo is... bad.

 

Amazing what the right people can do with a mere $300 million.

 

The difference between this and Atlanta is that these vehicles are moving

 

Hey fellas, quick geen slip question. Who's the proper dog to speak to if you believe you were passed over (overlooked) for a GS or two? Call and run the guantlet of crew scheduling or speak with DALPA. Not trying to bust any of my bros, but looks like I either screwed up royally or didn't get the call for a couple GS's I was senior for. Just curious. Thanks!

 

I think it works best to call crew scheduling initially and inquire. Ask to speak to a supervisor if necessary. If you don't get an answer that makes sense or they don't take the time to talk to you, call the MEC office and ask to speak to one of the scheduling consultants. Let them know you attempted to sort it out with the company, give them all the details and supporting info you have (screenshots, who you've talked to and when, etc.) and they will research it and let you know if the trip coverage was PWA compliant or not. If not, they will work to get the correct pilot who should have gotten the trip (may not be you) paid for it.

The MEC Scheduling and Contract Administration Committees put a lot of money in Delta pilot's pockets every year due to their efforts.

 

Call Scheduling at DALPA. You will probably have to leave a message. They will get back to you. I think they are backed up. I'm waiting for a return call myself regarding a GS, too. Just be sure to get screen shots of coverage to support your case.
