Jungle, congrats on the 88. Since I know you're coming off one of them Embraer jets with the STOP-RUN-START switches, so I thought as a gift from me to you I'd give you some of my notes on the 88 and I'm going to start with the Before Start flow. So first, here is a picture of an 88, and next is the 88 before start flow.

Let me know if you have any questions and remember this key phrase... Technique Only.

Haha that made me laugh. So true.

How about augmenting that crew since it's rather high-vis?*

*Fire away. I've never flown an augmented fight at Delta so maybe it wasn't possible.

Not possible per the contract with that ship number.

Do they still put a hotel note on our schedules so we know where we're staying for cq? I requested a hotel on icrew a few weeks ago. My cq is a week and a half away and there is no hotel info. I guess I'll call the training scheduler tomorrow.

Take a look at the remarks at the bottom of your schedule in icrew. Many times it will be there and no where else.

It's on the front page of Deltanet, FYI.

When I log in and go to the Crew Resources and Scheduling page, I see What's New... dated December 4, 2013.

To my knowledge, yes they did, and I believe that they are always looking for more folks to work in P2P and DPN. Sometimes it's paid work and other times it is not.

Having walked through several layover hotel lobbies in the past few months and seen these guys set up giving out the same brief over and over and over again to the pilots that come by, I can truly say that I'd much rather be flying for that 8-hour duty period for the same pay.

About ready to go up to one of those DPA guys in the crew room and ask for my card back...the cause is over...blown...stretched out to the point that it's just annoying white noise. Thanks for trying.

And I understand that the point of the Special Committee's effort was to bring more pilots around to that conclusion.

It wasn't. Augmentation is only allowed for an ocean crossing segment, e.g., US to Europe, and that is only allowed in a wide body, i.e., int'l, category.

Hey question...

Trying to avoid a trip to airport on my day off. Anyone else have any suggestions for picking up new id's?
Trying to get it transferred to another base so that I can pick it up on one of my turns. My problem is I'm never through base when chief pilots office is open. Just wondering what others have done in the past.

There is no restriction for the company to augment any flight. The aircraft used however must have a approved rest facility. That effectively limits it to the international fleet.
