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

Looks to be the same way on the 767B here in ATL. Last time I looked they had three day lines and a slew of two and three day trips left to assign with almost no one in the pot.

The question is, are you willing to deal with the wrath of Momma for missing Trick or Treat?

It's looking similar (though not quite as bad) in the ATL 88A category. I'm sure my reserve butt will be going somewhere! ;) YouTube - Life is like a box of chocolates

happens either on icrew or ecrew, IE8 or firefox, mac or ms, tried two computers. I'll try the iphone now. Bad timing.

I've been getting the same thing for the last month on my Mac w/Firefox and on the other computer with XP and IE8. Might be something on Delta's end. Actually now that I think of it, ever since that "pink ribbon" has been on the site banner, I've had this problem??

It has been acting up way before the pink ribbon stuff.

I've been booted off only to log on again about a dozen times today checking loads.

I agree, but is it really a side job? You get time off for your reserve days so you don't end up working on all of your days off and most reserve guys are flying airplanes which should make you a better aviator. If you are doing mortgages, selling houses, or whatever else, you do that on your days off, focus on it while your flying at this job, and you are in no way increasing your skills as a pilot. Side jobs that are in no way related to aviation can become a safety issue. As a professional airline pilot you should not have to have a side job or send your wife to work in order to make more than 100K per year.

You are darn skippy I'm happy we have an off week. We needed to rest up after three tough games and LSU next.

Up here in the Big Apple, we have no trips and a bunch of reserves. I've sat for a week on my behind in NY. I got so bored I bought a used PS2 for the crashpad. Oh well i'll get displaced in January.
