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.

Not sure. I've just had multiple occasions where I had a GS in for a trip with no reserves avail to fly it. Then, they DH someone in to fly it or split it up in to pieces and give it out to RES in small pieces. Frustrates me because we can't split up trips to give the last or first leg away like SWA does, but scheds can cut up trips like a Japanese chef. And it is hard to piece together if they are even looking at the RUO at all.

The choices offered within many question on the survey are troubling. Too many choices to move the wrong direction with fewer to restrict more productivity for example. Less flying, more pay should be the goal. We don't set goals in this union however.

The fatigue question missed what I think is one of the more important choices. Changing AM's to PM's, and all nighters with daytime flying within a short period of time. Some people are morning people by their nature and do best staying with that and others are better off staying on the evening rotations.

Also, ADG was mentioned but nothing about MDG??

Somebody want to explain this time me. It would seem making the company have min staffing for each category in base would actually increase the number of required pilots instead of borrowing through deadhead base to base?

STAFFING

The PWA provides for a minimum staffing formula for each position (aircraft and seat). So long as each position is staffed to the minimum required level, there is no staffing requirement for an individual category (position and base) within a position.
Moving to a requirement to maintain a minimum staffing level for each category could have the effect of providing the Company more flexibility in managing pilot staffing and could lead to a decrease in overall required staffing. At the same time, it could provide more balanced staffing levels among bases in a given position.

Some how Grimley has broken the code on getting 2 for 1 posts. (So it doesn't look like you hang here a lot.)

Trying to charge my phone in the back of the 757, where is the charge port or is that only a 717 thing?

That was the critical information I missed. I'll be looking forward to February then.
