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

What happens if awarded a carryover trip in March that runs into April that conflicts with potential APR initial trng bid?

Also, when do they tell you the exact date of trng start date from an AE?

In any case, mamangement squeezes every ounce of productivity to the point of skirting the contract. And now they're coming after us for alleged sick "abuse" that they don't bother trying to prove. Not a good way to produce employees who want to go "above and beyond."

Agreed. +1

DALPA should call it a "Bonus" and NOT TOUCH IT.

A "bonus" is not normal hourly compensation and should not be considered in pay rate comparisons...it's a "bonus payment".

ANY modification to Profit Sharing in the next 4-5 years is a NO VOTE by me (unless it's an increase).

Here: NBC's Brian Williams recants Iraq claim :roll eyes:

Remember Dan Rather citing bogus military documents about G.W. Bush's national guard service?

Don't forget about the next prezzy...following her automatic nolo coronation from her party and lame stream media (same thing) lying about coming under sniper fire. :rolleyes: Or the new "lion" of the Senate lying about her ethnicity in order to scam her way through school. Although to her credit she was saying "you didn't build that" before the manchurian organizer was. :cool:

I'll bet the first ever contract to be voted down at Delta will be C2015 if we don't beat AA rates AND keep profit sharing. (Along with no CDO's,)

And any scope concessions at any level, any sick time reduction/harassment/concessions or any banding/freeze/block time schennegans.

Is there a place to add TSA PreCheck number to our travel net profile? I can't find anything in there.

Put the trusted traveler number in the TSA page (the ones that comes up when you make a listing) and as FullofLuv said, it remembers it. It will keep showing up for future listings.

ALPA beat them to the punch... they have been counting it in the pay charts since C2012 trying to nudge our "effective" rates past C2000

I know it is absolutely inconceivable (and yes, that word means what I think it means) that there is any kind of system that operates other of the than the way DAL does it, and the very universe itself orbits around 33.75° N, 84.39 W, BUT seeing as how we have a fair number of pilots who had a different kind of sick time system, and I know I'm going off on some kind of wild tangent here, but maybe we can ask some of them how they liked that system or if they thought guys flew sick.

I know....bizarre request, huh?
