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

Is that Covers, and her sister, Blanket? It's going to be COLD tonight, even down here in Florida!

I'm thinking I'm going to need both Covers and Blanket pulled right up tight to my ears tonight!! :D

Then your PD will be denied and your swap will also be denied sticking you with a Christmas trip.

So, if you have an APD you can use it and you will go before everyone requesting a PD or a swap. Good way for a junior guy to drop Christmas. I've used that twice and been successful.

I thought you couldn't use your APD over major holidays?

Disclaimer - I got no idea what Delta's going to do. But, I found a rumor / speculation thread with smarter than average participants (ie, one has "Managing Director" as a job title). Scott Hamilton has an inside track at Boeing and FWIW, he says, "No 777, no 787-10." Even if Delta were looking at used 777's, Boeing's role in ongoing certification and support would likely mean it would be on Mr. Hamilton's radar if it were likely.

New hire Delta Pilot here...

Is it too early to try to drop December trips? Seems like I'm unable to access the reserve levels for December... or I'm doing it wrong, which is typical.

Thanks,
