Schedule question in iCrew.

When looking at the monthly schedule, at the bottom there is a "PROJ" number.

Is that number the projected credit for the month, or projected flight time?

Thanks

Well most of it the Doctor fills in. I went out on TD when I ran out of sick leave - from what I remember the TD paperwork (and DPMA if you are DPMA) is mostly a "fill out name/address/employee # variety" then ship it off to the Doctor who does the rest. In fact, if you fill out parts that the doctor is suppose to, they'll likely sent it back.

The doctor sends it directly to Delta and DPMA from what I remember.

The temporary disability only kicks in when you run out of sick leave, so if you call in well before then, the temporary disability (and DPMA) won't go start.

What do you think about making this it's own thread? While I am certain that Delta will take care of it's own, perhaps others in the APC community might want to help.

Orvil,

I thought about starting a new thread but was unsure and decided to put the information in this thread.

I am sure that others in the APC community would be glad to help out but I did not want to start a trend that ends up with us all getting multiple charity solicitations every time we log on.

The generosity of the Delta family never ceases to amaze me - they are almost at their goal within 2 days!

Done! They are within $2600ish of the goal stated on the donation page. A lot of people have stepped up, proud to be a part of this Widget Family!

Jayhawk,

Here is to wishing you a speedy and painless recovery.

Regarding the DPMA questionaire and paper work, it is truly a big PITA. I hate to think what would happen if you were truly disabled and struggling for your life versus a non life threatening albeit disabling injury.

As a user of both the DPMA and a former previous airline's disability program, one was a "one call and it did it all". In other words you made a call to central admin, told them you were going to be long term sick and they would ask you to call when ready to return. Your paycheck came on the same dates as usual, your income stayed the same and you never went "off payroll". I may be wrong.. but I think you continued to build sick leave (can't be sure) while out.

The whole object of either program is to allow a safety net to prevent financial distress if such an injury or illness would prevent you from exercising the privileges of your ATP.

I am glad we have DPMA but I wish it was a little more user friendly. Sorry, but it looks like you need to fill out the paper work!

Get well, stay warm,

OC

Scoop,

I agree with you. That's why I hesitated. When I just looked the level was at $23,702. Let's make a push to get this to the top.

Default White Slip obligations during IROPS

Hey guys, I picked up a WS showed up and they keep slipping the departure time. It was a one leg out and next day back worth 10.5. what is my obligation to sit here in the crew room? Also when they can't get me back the next day within 4 hours of scheduled arrival what are my options?

If they cancel the trip what do I get paid? I've been here 5 hours now... hopefully it's not just assignment pay.

We are taking 10 to 12 A350 in 18 and there are no planned 767 retirements so that will be the first year with real widebody growth.
At this point we're down 3 wide bodies from last year. At the end of 2015 another 5 747's will be parked = 8 747's gone but we get 4 330's = down 4 WB's at the end of 2015. In 2016 we get 4 more 330 which would make the balance 0 providing nothing else get retired. That's zero WB growth till the end of 2016.The remaining 8 747's will be gone by the end of 2017. At this time last year there was no mention of any 747's leaving the fleet so don't be surprised to see some 767 disappear.All this is happening while things are "good". So where's is the growth???
