I don't get it and am getting frustrated. I can list on either leg, just not both of them together.
Errrrr

They will give you the same explanation if you call the travel line.
The award tickets are truly are difficult to use. As DLpilot said, they are easier to use if you book them far out in advance. Sometimes the availability does change, but more thank likely they get worse as time gets closer. I'm also going to have to drive/non-rev to get to ATL to use mine.
One thing that you can try to do is select other airports nearby. (exp: substitute JFK for LGA)
Good luck.

You could also do additional seat fillers for 5 hours each.
While assigned to active duty in the Training Department:
A Captain SLI will be paid at the applicable composite hourly rate in the highest paying position he can hold. A First Officer or Second Officer SLI will be paid at the applicable composite hourly
rate in the highest paying First Officer or Second Officer position he can hold.

He's at DAL like it or not. If we don't want him on our seniority list or represented by our union or accruing longevity for his DAL service, that's on us and frankly pretty shortsighted & playing into management's hand. What's next, buying Alaska but not integrating their pilots & planes, sending 737s to whichever operator is cheaper? And then telling AS pilots they're not DAL and their input isn't relevant in this supposed DAL-pilots-only thread? Who would that benefit, exactly? Not us or them, right?
So what precisely is the difference with 9E pilots?

We can try and negotiate items impacting the above but I suspect it would be over managements dead body. Also keep in mind that if we succeeded in getting management to merge feeder airlines it would not be a staple. It would almost certainly go to arbitration.

I'm sure some of you are thinking of bidding the 717. Here's my thoughts: Huntsville, Knoxville, Jackson, Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport and stare at this for a minute...

Personal philosophy on how a passenger ends up in the back of an airplane does not indicate what company employs the pilots.

If the similarities are so strong, then why didn't Junglebus and Mesabah just skip the abuse, and go directly to Delta. I mean, it's the exact same company, right?
