People covered the sim stuff, but if you've been off a while you'll need to complete the CQ disks that you've missed. When I came back from Disability they mailed the one I need to be. But if you've only been off for 90 days or so you might not need to.

Thanks!

Looking back, it's probably better that I had all the practice, and at least I'm up to date on checkrides for awhile.
Headed out tomorrow for my first reserve trip. Back to a line again next month

Contract/Pay question: I was removed from a portion of a rotation due to getting rerouted on the previous rotation(FAR Rest conflict). My time card does not show the rotation guarantee. What's the best way to go about this? Will it get settled out later? Thanks.

Mrs Buzz may already know.........she hauled his butt out of the lazy boy for a garage sale yesterday, and kept all the money. It's the SoCal version of Joe Momma putting your saddle on the lawn

My STD is a particularly pesky one...it's the FAA strain.

Oh and get well soon Buzz!

I'm not going to let you or anyone else intimidate me from saying what I think.
I love having the new hires here (both here on APC and for real at Delta). They're great! I'm flying with one today. I think they are all more than capable of walking and chewing gum at the same time and can get their questions answered here during our discussion of "Any Latest & Greatest about Delta."

If you are directing new hires here to get their "questions answered" via APC (or other public webboards) you're doing them a huge disservice. The amount of inaccurate and flawed commentary touted as "information" here can cause bigger problems for pilots on probation than for a line pilots who screws up using "well I read it on a webboard, I thought it was true" argument. They can't afford to get bad gouge.
New-hire pilots are much better served using:
- Using their New Hire Mentors and the many resources at their disposal
- 1-800-USA-ALPA for technical issues/questions on benefits/scheduling
- 1-866-237-6633 for aeromedical issues
- 1-800-388-1628 for Professional Standards issues
- 1-877-888-0432 PBS Help Line for Monthly Bidding Questions
- 1-877-325-2358 Pilot Support Center for HR/Company questions
- Avoiding the "politics side" until they're off probation
Welcome to all new hires!! I am really glad we have you here at Delta.
