From the Crew Resources and Crew Scheduling page in DeltaNet:

Attention All Pilots
The LAX 7ERA, LAX 7ERB, SEA 7ERA, and SEA 7ERB categories were rerun during the morning of June17th due to some erroneous conflicts causing a pairing in each category to appear unawardable due to WOCL violations. If you reviewed the preliminary awards prior to 1400E on June 17th, you will see that the results have changed. The reports posted on the Crew Resources and Scheduling page and in iCrew reflect the correct awards and are finalized.

RT looked good on paper, but in reality it will cost Delta a lot more, than had they gone with Pro in the first place. I think RT is already an end-of-life product, so it has to be replaced in a few years as well.

I'm on my standard not allowed to go west of the Mississippi in July, but I loved that now disapproved hotel (that was previously the crew hotel)!

Default BCN Crew Hotel Rate

Anyone done BCN on vacation recently?

I found a note on mycrewguide saying we can get the crew hotel for 76 euro/night, but that was about a year ago...Anyone done this recently? What's the mechanism to book at this rate? Their website starts at 122/night.

Any other recommendations for the area? We're going to be flying in with 2 young kids (under 6) and then training over to France to meet some friends. I need a few ideas of how to entertain everyone for a few days in BCN - I'm thinking the beach but have never been over there.

The current place is much, much better by any metric--only thing it doesn't have is a water view.

Like daldude said--why the rush?

More evidence that "constructive engagement" is a one-way street the company embraces only when it benefits the company.

A domestic trip at the end of each of those blocks. 1 AMS and 3 KEFs (11 hour 3 day. Like sailing said, next summer I won't be able to throw bags on them.) and the 2 domestics; a 3 and 4 day. Yeee freakin' haw!


Mine will have lots of time off between (not enough to go home of course) so I'll do my laundry at the crashpad.

OK. So by your refusal to answer my question about whose contract you would rather have than ours, I have to conclude that your grenade throwing about all things dALPA and our contract is nothing but sniping. You have no real argument, therefore you snipe and throw grenades. Played out you are.

You have had ample opportunity to answer.

From our little world here on APC, it appears that the July scheds are a big 👎 from most of us. Lots of avoids disregarded and the bonus denial. Not sure if this is a summertime thing with high alvs, shortened months and lots of vacation (at least in my cat) or something more nefarious.
