He is a DAL pilot. He has a right to his viewpoints. What are annuities paying these days? A $5000/yr annuity nets you what amount monthly in retirement $35, maybe, I'll pass on that.

Looks like October 2012 Mother Trend for you.

I'm taking the family out to SLC for a week to teach my son how to ski. Where's the good snow, hotels that shuttle and reasonable lift tickets...it's been awhile for me. I need a refresher.

He doesn't have the right to out someone here, which was his parting action. According 80ktsClamp he violated the TOS several times before threatening to out another poster (which I saw before being deleted).

He posted something just believable enough to elicit response and went off on people when he got the (very predictable) response he wanted. Throw in the fact that he just started posting a few hours before he was tossed and that he admitted he had multiple user names and it adds up to troll. I'm not certain he's even a Delta pilot.

Thanks for the heads up.

Sundacne is going on right now in Park City, it ends on Superbowl Sunday. All hotels will be priced high until it ends. We came last year in early Jan. and stayed at Park City Marriott
1895 Sidewinder Drive Park City Utah 84060 for a Delta rate of $80. Give them a call. You can get a lift ticket at the PC mountain or Caynons for 15 or 20% off with Delta ID on the going rate.
We haven't got much snow this year but all the mountain is open and groomed.

[QUOTE=Jughead135;1812614]You may already know this, but I learned it the hard way a couple of weeks ago: a significant difference internationally is that you cannot "convert" your non-rev listing to a JS listing ("flow forward"). Once you're within 75 minutes of push, you're stuck with whatever listing you have (or don't have). For reasons that elude me, the system cannot take a non-rev listing and put you in the JS; and we're not allowed to make two listings (i.e., one non-rev & another JS "just in case"). You can still "flow back" from the JS if there are open seats, but if you're trying to sit with your wife, that may not work out as well....[/QUOTE]

We've been married long enough that she requests we be seated separately.

Hey sailing,

To be perfectly honest, I've re-read your OOBWS stuff a couple of times, and I'm confused. You're saying OOBWS ahead of Reserves is a good thing (the OP wanted them ahead of Reserve coverage in the ladder), and the company wants it. Then you say that the old system favored a Y ahead of a OOBWS, which I understand to mean the new system doesn't. Under that context, the OOBWS already is included ahead of RES. So what is the argument about, exactly?

If you're trying to say that the coverage should be WS>Y>OOBWS, then that would be acceptable.

Also look at Solitude up Big Cottonwood..they give Delta discounts with ID..basically full day ticket for half day price. Great diversity of terrain from groomers to back bowl, away from Sundance, has a Kyle alpine village at the base but I don't know how expensive..great snow and best local secret around.

Have fun..

That is exactly what I am saying. Currently crew scheduling gets to decide if a OOBWS is awarded after looking at their reserve coverage. Under the old system a OOBWS went ahead of reserve coverage unless a reserve went yellow high for that flying. Even if crew scheduling had 30 reserves sitting around they had to award the OOBWS unless a reserve puts a yellow high in for the flying.
The change was a concession the company demanded in the 1113 contract so they could better manage pilot utilization.
