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

Frank,

I guarantee you the Co. looks at pay-banding as a HUGE money saving opportunity. Better think hard about what that means for us. Sure we'd see some short term gains on the surface but likely at the long term cost of career advancement. I don't want a trivial pay raise in exchange for reduced career progression opportunities. The biggest pay raise you'll get is moving to a higher paying seat.

Sorry, but I kinda doubt all WB will get paid at 777/744 rates, nor MNB at 739, or SNB at M88 rates with additional time in grade steps. Management says training is no cost, so what's the incentive other than to reduce staffing (=increased productivity) which helps us how?

Strikes me as more selling off of our career for transient dollars. Staffing = seniority, and while pay comes and goes seniority is form entire working lives

Yes. This subcommittee of the scheduling committee was created specifically for 117 negotiations. Their charge was to find a way to increase pay/credit hours per day while still remaining within the new legal framework defined by 117. One of the concepts this subcommittee devised to raise pay/credit time was the adoption of CDO's.

Thanks Carl!

Now, when do I get the pay back? :confused:

It should come on your next one or two paychecks, depending on exactly when the PD was removed.

Off topic. Does sick time count towards the greenslip trigger?

Three possibilities (only two of them legal):

1) None of the 3-day guys are legal for the trip
2) The 3-day guys are all on short call at the time of report and the 4-day guys is not
3) Crew Scheduling is making sh!t up again.

His 3 book history of the Civil War is incredible. It's probably around 1500 pages all together, but it's almost impossible to put down. The level of detail and quality of storytelling is just amazing.

We pulled down the CAL Codeshare when it was no longer used.

Let's pull down the Alaska language as this becomes the Company's business plan.

As other folks have noted the 117 PD issues have been corrected...does anyone know how these will show up in our pay?

Also, its been a long time since I went to training...can you use positive space to go back and forth to home on days off?
