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

Quick question. On the last bid, I was awarded a new base but same equipment so no training required. The proj training/conversion list showed me converting in APR. Icrew doesn't show me changing bases and even PBS shows me based in DTW (current base). Do I just bid flying in my new base for next month? Will PBS let me bid flying at my new base if it still shows my old base? What do I do, yo?

It sounds like they did not convert you. You would bid your current base. The projected list is just a guess for planning. The actual conversion list is what counts. To double check you can view the conversion lists for APR on Delta net.

Delta and Harrison Ford had a tough day flying!

Did you get a pop-up in iCrew saying you've been converted? If not, look at the actual conversion list. You probably didn't get converted yet.

DeltaNet/Crew Resources/Conversions - look at the appropriate list.

No pop up for me and I'm not on the APR conversions list. Bogus man. I guess after not backfilling in the D for a while, they're too short to convert me. I declare shenanigans on crew planning.

I gave up on that category in the D a while ago, kept going backwards. You'll get out - they have to convert you by the end of the conversion window for the bid you got the award on.

So having never converted, how does one know the actual month they convert? Login to icrew to bid your schedule and *SURPRISE* have a new base? I assume if training is involved then it is probably a hard date.

I just got converted to a different base, same equipment. Icrew & PBS showed me in my old base up until the very end. At the last minute it all got switched over. I almost made a call to planning but my patience was a virtue. If your conversion is APR and PBS is showing you bidding for your old base in APR then I would give them a ring.

I am JSing on a badly oversold 319 tomorrow into JFK. Where will I be expected to stow my rollaboard? Is the cockpit big enough to bring it up front? Never been up front in an Airbus.

Thanks

Lots of room in the cockpit should be no problem.

The 319 is not like a MD88 or 737. You're in for a treat. I'd rather ride the JS on a Bus than a coach seat. Plenty of room for your luggage.
