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

It will build to the "Threshold" and then stop. What was your category's run threshold? Look at the top of the Wide Report, it's the number after the little t.

One of the reasons the bid runs take so long is, they will do several runs and change the threshold for each new run, see how much open time is left over, see how high the stacks are, tweak the numbers and run it again, until the company gets a run they like. Once your line has enough trips on it to be above the threshold, it stops putting trips on your line.

There are some cases when you can get a line above the minimum but below the threshold. I think pull-for-shuffle and/or top-down inclusion logic can end up with that result?

Yes, if you are junior but usually that is because of the "Avoid" preferences you put in, it will NOT violate an "Avoid" to get you above the threshold. The other reason could be as you suggested, if there are no trips remaining to build you a line above the threshold, that will 'fit' on the line, and above the threshold, per the FAR's, Contract rules, etc.

Buzz says we can't hit the 2004 hourly rates 1/1/16 because Delta won't be investment grade.

How did he get elected? Is he angling to get back on the Dalpa administration gravy train after his base is closed?

Good news, I was quoting a check airman on the 320 who was just told that. I hope your right.

That issue was resolved back in January.

Coming up on your left.

I did. Here's how it went:

Carl: Hey what the ****! Why are the A321's only coming with 1 jumpseat?

Chief Pilot: Who the hell told you that?

Carl: Sailingfun

Chief Pilot: I think we're done here...don't you think?

Carl: Yup...I'll just let myself out.

Chief Pilot: Where's your hat Spackler?

Hahaha! Oh, sailing.... bad data and even worse grammar.

It's interesting here overseas. Every pilot wears a hat at every airline. But that's a whole 'nother topic. ;)

Since you brought it up...

Can one of you hat-deniers explain your hatred of the hat? I'm not sure I'll ever really understand, but I'm ready to listen. Is it a hair thing? Toupee interference? Heat? Power struggle? I'm embarrassed for you guys, but recognize you're probably embarrassed for me wearing mine.

Pilot uniforms tend to defy logic, convention and modern style - what other professionals wear hats indoors and short sleeves with ties? On the plus side, the hat holds several layers of tinfoil well. ;)
