Question..... If you want to use an APD for a trip that covers the Apr/May bid transition when do they run it? I know they start running those for the next month on the 20th like all the rest, but how do they figure the reserve coverage for the days in the following bid (May)? I'm familiar with the 25% rule and I read the contract section about it, but I'm a little confused about how it's worded. It says something about before line bidding for the following month is closed reserve will be "deemed" to have sufficient availability. Does deemed mean assumed?
An APD request will be granted if, at the time of processing, the: number of reserves available in the category is at least 25% of the number of reserves required (as determined by the reserves required formula under Section 23 W., and as shown in DBMS), Note: For purposes of a rotation that is scheduled to begin in one bid period and end in another, prior to the close of line bidding for the second bid period, a day(s) within such second bid period will be deemed to have sufficient reserve availability, provided that such day(s) does not fall within an APD holiday period as described in Section 23 I. 8. a. Exception. Exception: An APD request may be denied regardless of the number of reserves available during the period commencing two days before and ending one day after the following: 1) New Year's Day 2) Super Bowl Sunday 3) Good Friday 4) Easter 5) Memorial Day 6) Independence Day 7) Labor Day 8) Thanksgiving Day 9) Christmas Day

Hey guys....what do I need to open the various Training Modules on the Delta web site. I would like to do some home study, but I can't get the Modules open....
Mozilla prompts an "open with" box, but I don't know what I need.
Thanks

Apache "Open Office" is free. Has a powerpoint knockoff. Might be worth an shot.

I would first put the trip on the swap board as a pu only. You might not have to waste your APD. In the past you had to wait until 20 APR to drop a carry out trip going into May to see the may coverage.That was improved recently. Here is the language.

Sitting on a 4 hour delay (so far) into JFK - 31R closed for the next 6 weeks - looks like NYC IROPS are going to be the norm until 24 Apr!
