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

I don't think that's it either, because none of that shows up in trip coverage. ATL had some reserve trip coverage today, but none of them show up as out of base pilots. They had 1 oob WS, and the rest covered by ATL pilots. NY had only 1 reserve trip today. ATL/DTW/MSP all have reserves available, so why would they DH NY pilots to any of those places to cover trips? But if what you are saying is correct, then line holders are being held hostage to capped reserve days for no good reason.

I just took a look at the reserve availibility lists for the NYC Er A through Saturday and it looks like they jive with what is on the reserves required list within 1, or 2 people.

Even though they might not have started out the month being that short, if guys were called out at the end of last month who were supposed to be on at the beginning of this month the available reserves will quickly dwindle.

That's my guess. :D

I was referring to your gross amount, and I emphasize again, doubling tomorrow's check is a very rough guesstimate.

Reference please? PM is fine if you can't publish specifics. I'm more than happy to check on this one if you really think this is happening. That WOULD be unacceptable - however I'm sure there is more to it than your drive-by infers.

I highly doubt anyone is on FPL to organize/play golf but don't let that get in the way of a good ALPA misinformation campaign. :cool:

Foxnews hates Delta. Sheppard Smith took it personally when Delta drew down Memphis.

I do think it's happening, based on the individual's own admission.

I'm curious to hear your reply after you read my PM and look into the matter.

You seem like a fair guy, so I'm certain you'll publicly (or privately) retract your "misinformation" statement above.

Here's what I've heard. The Delta MEC organizes a charitable golf tournament for the Delta Pilot Charitable Fund, as well as raffles throughout the BOD. It's a major source of donations for this charity. Pilots attending the BOD pay a sizable green fee, with proceeds going to the DPCF. Perhaps one of this pilots duties is to organize this effort.

The only people I watch on Fox anymore are Greg Gutfeld and Megyn Kelly.
