If you have a smartphone (e.g. iPhone/Android device) you can download the "ALPA Part 117 Calculator" from the App Store and it tracks through your user inputs.

Yep, taking your frustration out on innocent passengers is deplorable. I wish he could be removed from 9E.

A buddy pass isn't, and should never be, considered "in your party" WRT inheriting your S3 seniority. They get your S4 seniority. That is enough, regardless of who(m) they are travelling with.

I'm glad DL saw whatever they saw with that candidate and made the no-hire decision. Maybe he was mad at himself that he wasn't as good of an actor as he thought he was because he couldn't fool professional actor spotters. I hope he gets over it quick. Behavior like that has a way of getting around in the small world of aviation. Some things are way worse than anything that can be found on a PRIA check. No other major would EVER hire him if they knew he behaved like that in uniform while working a flight.

As for the standards, I don't think that had anything to do with that event at all. And I don't like "special minimums" one bit for select groups or whatever. But the answer isn't to lower the mins for everyone to the least common denominator.

LHR is better then MEX when it comes to recovery. Have fun at security. My wife forgot to pack up a tube of toothpaste while visiting our daughter. She tossed it in my India bag as we were leaving. Never new it was down there until leaving LHR. They were incredibly excited to catch a criminal like me trying to smuggle a tube of toothpaste out of the country. I am in the book now whatever that means!!!!

Split the difference and have everyone meet at the OZ bar!

It is block time off the rotations. If you are looking forward its scheduled block time and if you are looking back its actual. There is no easy way to track this until Delta IT gets their act together. We don't even get a 28 day block hour readout. Its still based on the old 30 days. You can use the legality checker found in the PCS swap submenu to see if there is a legality issue on something you want to pick up. It is now programmed for 117. ALPA does have a app however it does not know your schedule so its not that useful in this situation. I understand they are trying to get permission to access the Delta data stream so it would know exactly what is going on but so far Delta IT will not grant access. Hopefully soon we will have a good app and more information available on Delta net that matches FAR 117.

Crap:( Sorry we missed ya. Great wine great conversation and even dinner:D

Next time! ( now where is this OZ bar?)

My fellow Delta pilots ... Delta wants cheap. When the market is unable to provide qualified pilots for the worst deal in the profession, the cheap response is to lower the standard.

I am not sure how we "permit" this while simultaneously trying to justify improvements to our pay and working conditions.

Best if we do not "permit" this to continue. I pledge to never vote yes to a contract which fails to further restrict, sunset, and lower the amount of Delta flying we permit to be done by those other than Delta pilots.

These pilot social engineering experiments should go to hell and burn there.

I'm glad to know I didn't miss a memo. After reading his post, I was wondering, since when buddy pass riders shared your S3 status, just because you were travelling with them.
