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

Just think how much better off we might be if folks like Criswell, Garcia, and Riggins actually stepped away from the keyboard and did some work for all of our benefit.

Naming names. Is this an attempt at deflection? No, a great strategic thinker wouldn't be so obvious.

Moak caused harm.

But the RV would be really nice. Gotta stay classy.
We would take the wheels off and set it on cinder blocks.

FYI... I emailed my reps with input that I think Lee Moak should be recalled. I've had numerous exchanges with them in the past few hours and NONE of them see anything wrong with what he said. Houston we have a problem. Maybe these reps need to be recalled too!

My understanding is 1000, so long as it's on your schedule before 1500.

Newbie question. How do the Reserve day Coverage awards work? I'm on the ATL 717 and basically everyone of the bottom 50 guys got the last 3 weekends of Sep pre-awarded. I understand the concept, but 50 guys on reserve those days seems excessive when the typical required number is around 15. Granted a few of those guys are shadow bids but not many.

Well, they're running about 70 reserves with 244 pilots, almost the same amount of reserves as the 88 is running with 600 pilots.

The ALV was set high thus fewer lines and therefore too many people on reserve.

The good news is you should be able to trade out of those weekends on the first PCS run on the 20th.

There isn't a requirement to check said schedule on an off day correct? So if it's on your schedule and don't "self notify" on your off day, which you aren't required to do, what happened to the pairing at 0000on your first on call day?
1) Scheduling calls you at 0000 or some time afterward to notify you of said trip and you then have 12hrs to show (long call window)
2) Scheduling removes the trip since no "self notification" and your still sitting 12hr long call
3) Scheduling calls you and notifies you @ 0000 or sometime afterwards and you are on the hook for trip that duty's in @1000 b/c you just got your 10hrs of uninterrupted rest

If option three is correct how does this affect your duty day? You went on long call at 0000 so you are no longer considered @ rest, but they put you on 10hr rest after the notification. Either way I would think it affects your duty period for that day?

Thanks for clarifying....I just got reserve for Sept. and haven't been on reserve in 6.5yrs!!

Sound like negotiating on our behalf, hey Wall Street, pilots are good, don't need much!

Better idea is to say:

Isn't that what he should be saying to Wall St.? "Nothing to see here, keep investing in airlines." Isn't a favorable opinion from investors a good thing? Kind of hard for the company to argue Wall St. won't like labor cost increases when the stock price keeps going up. It's spin, no doubt, but hardly negotiating.

Look who the audience is. How would it benefit us for the head of ALPA to antagonize investors?
