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

At some point, you will turn it on, and you will be inside the electronic fence. That helicopter on the right just shot you in the ***........

Laugh if you want, and call me paranoid, but we can revisit this in a couple of years.... Airport ready reserve. Love it...mean it.

Denny, Alan,Delta1067, & sailingfun, thanks for the answers--saved me time from sending an email or phoning my reps or an DALPA office to ask for help in pursuing what's a lost cause.

You need to call contract admin. If your yellow slip was in you should have been awarded the trip. They are not allowed to run a PCS run even 1 minute early. If the trip was for the next day they don't cover them using PCS runs. They are covered by hand and should be covered as they become known after the 7 am run.

Yellow slips are always run by hand, and not by PCS. The PCS deadline therefore has no relevance to whether a yellow slip is considered.

But that would defeat the purpose of the electronic fence and updates and whatnot. There is not an easy solution to this potential. I know some of ya'll like being in electronic nirvana of instant and constant communications, and that's fine. I am just saying that it all ain't positive, and there are downsides to being leashed.

Ya'll have fun with this. I'm going to work.

While I agree, before calling contract admin ask yourself what is the remedy? They can't go back and give you the trip. Unless that trip would have taken you above res guarantee you are due any pay.

They can give you pay and credit toward your guarantee that could help you fill up more quickly or at least move you to the next RAW bucket sooner.

True. Just update it when you sign in at work. And ALWAYS remember, OFF may not actually be OFF. And when you call in sick to take the Contender offshore leave it at home!! LOL

That is correct.

It's an electronic device that is in constant communication with the company. You have to make them "promise" not to use that capability, and then you have to prove that they did. Good luck with that endeavor.

The point is that, if they tried to use the fact that you were here rather than there in a disciplinary hearing, they would not allowed to even suggest that they gained this information from the EFB.

forgot to bid

We live with FOQA every second we operate the aircraft and we don't lose sleep over that. This is no different. It's a company issued device just like the airplane is company issued, do only what you're supposed to do with it and you won't have problems.

And then post on Apcf via your phone and don't sext with it. Please don't. :D
