Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?
Hasn't been determined yet. Strong forces are pulling both ways. The risk analysis has been complete though.
The FAA should certify the A350 training course in Toulouse about a month from now and then the first Delta guys will go through their training.
FWIW, just heard from a friend who is a 330 APD.

There's a 737/320 meeting wednesday, so perhaps some more info comes out then.

From: Scratching my head in the right seat of a Douglas product
A category is considered new for 60 days since the date of the first opportunity for the first conversion. It is found in the definitions of Section 22. It is currently shown as Section 22 A.15. although there appears to be a formatting snafu in my latest version of the live contract and it is blended in with the definition of "Narrowbody".
Last thing I saw was the next AE will be late Feb to early March. Your guess is as good as mine on when it will really be.
Maddog to Madpuppy is a short course, but it does incur the full 2 year category freeze.

Thanks Hillbilly!
Here's to hoping there's an AE out on Friday so that Seattle will still be "new"! I think I'd prefer the 73n to the puppy, though the shortened time spent on VA is tempting. I'd like to skip out on these last three months of a seat lock!. I have a "new arrival" to my house due this Labor Day, and it would be nice to be all trained up before he/she gets here.

Except that he didn't try to get 104:17. He had 90 hours....14:17 of which was re-route for which he got double pay...which should be AT LEAST double pay given the fact that he was forced to fly something he didn't bid...
I get your point, but it doesn't apply to re-route pay. Besides, if you want to complain about guys getting paid too many hours/month, 104:17 doesn't hold a candle to what a lot of "players" are able to generate.

Where are you seeing that in the contract?

Naturally!
I don't think the other shoe has dropped regarding the west coast 717 operation though. They're gonna want to tie it into the eastern operation, and SLC is the only logical place (hub) within range of any east 717 cities, such as STL, ORD, MSP, MCI, BNA and so on... otherwise...
If they don't tie it in, then it's like two ecosystems evolving separately, and you could see the west coast 717's mutate into some horrible, surfer-speak-soul-patch-wearing-tofu-eating-free-love hippyfest, with ties optional and pilots with suntans. Not on my watch. No sir!!

I still don't get it though, how can they operate the 717s with all of those Narwhals trying to kill everyone? This is why I don't sleep at night.
Well, that. And this website. And the 1.56 ratio. And the missing thrust reverser lockout pin covers. And the little four propeller drone outside my window.
