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

Since I had a conflict with the meeting, I found another pilot to present the resolution at the meeting. It passed. I also coordinated with pilots in SLC and CVG to get the same resolution presented and passed there.

This is exactly how it should be done... the difference: you coordinated with other pilots to present.

I'm wondering if we are going to grab some of these because they would be available much sooner than a new aircraft. Just have to see who is taking delivery of new equipment right now and what they are parking.

Or we might be picking up some used 330's from some island in the pacific...well pilots come in that deal I guess so not really a gain.

I think they love used NB airplanes but for WBs they prefer mature new.

Also I didn't realize we didn't have the 2 hours to commute anymore as I haven't done RSV this year.

This was brought up yesterday when the OP's resolution was put up on the screen. As explained by the reps:

They used to be able to convert us to SC with 10 hours of notice. LOA 14-01 requires 12 hours of notice to SC, so the 2 hour commute (if that's how you choose to use the first 2 hours) is baked in to the 12 hour conversion. I'll admit I was rubbed wrong by the "loss of the 2 hour commute in" option until it was explained.

Used 777-300's are hard to come by. There are not many on the market and prices are high. We can have 330's anytime we want them so why buy an airline to get them.

Bump.

I'll whittle the questions down to one: what credit do you get for days that are listed as NQAT on your schedule?

I looked back at when I was NQAT earlier this year, looks like I got 2.4 per day. I think it was a 30 day month with the res guar of 72.

Hey! For you stock broker wannabees.......there's an ad at the bottom of the screen VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV to learn how to use options......

I just don't know how many times you need to refresh the page to get rid of the Subaru or Emirates ad! Sigh!

The 773 is a winner.

Not saying you are wrong, but who are you referring to as "the company?"

Specifically, Steve Dickson, crew lounge visit, speaking about considerations of the working group which eventually became FAR 117. He was far from the only one voicing the concern that commuting could be seen as "duty" and all, including we pilots (ALPA) wanted to avoid that interpretation.

We know that most SC's are assigned by 12-2pm each day....and if one doesn't preference a later SC (10am, 11am, so on) and they get stuck with a 0630, this is where the 2hr uncontactable thing came in great handy for a commuter. Either way they spin the new rules....it is a loss for commuters, plain and simple.

And as someone said earlier, yes, I guess we have to up our game now, and be connected to dlnet while on a flight, or have my wife looking at my schedule every 10min for a trip while I commute.

All times are GMT -8. The time now is 10:51 AM.
