Once it became a known yellow fever/malaria destination, well, then Screw Sceds couldn't assign it to a reserve, it had to be white or green slipped.

That must have been something special for just the 777. They can be assigned to reserves just like any other trip on the 767 and 330.

Not if you haven't been taking Malarone for 4 days prior they can't.

I had a discussion with the ATL Int. Chief Pilot about this very topic a few years ago. He asked me if I had my Malarone prescription.

I said, "Nope, I'm never going there, so I don't need it."

He said, "Well, what if they cancel your Dubai trip and assign you a Lagos trip for recovery?"

I said, "That's what sick leave is for, I'll just sick out of it BEFORE I go and get Malaria, so I'll save Delta a bundle in both Malarone prescriptions and malaria treatment costs."

No argument from him. BTW, he'd never been there either and had no desire to go, and this was BEFORE the Ebola thing!

I am absolutely disgusted that Tim would go after individual pilots. The latest DPA email just floored me. Tim, you have single handedly killed the DPA drive. You would've had a lot more credibility if you just turned them over to pro standards. Pathetic.

You can refuse to do anything you want. You're not going to have any contractual protection. It's recommended to start Malerone 2 days prior however the CDC states that if you start it 8 hours before entering a malaria zone you should have full coverage.

The abortion email was not enough?

I agree. I filled out a card, but since this hacking deal I think these guys are a bunch of quacks. Won't be filling out the renewal and will probably get off the email list because I'm sick of hearing about the "hacking" scandal.

Yep. The fall of the DPA movement is all on his hands.

I've been done for quite some time. Amateurs at best. Posers comes to mind. Go away.

Didn't know they were going after individuals and didn't know who TC was until tonight. Glad I never filled out a card or signed up for the emails. Time to unite under one flag and move forward...but just say no to CDO's!

Agreed. I said the same in my survey. I've done the good and bad ones in the past. Even the good ones aren't worth letting the camel's nose in, IMO.
