I use Spot II. It's a little closer to I-285. Ask about their employee discount/frequent user card. It makes things really easy and reduces the price. They have covered parking, too. I've used it when it looks like it might hail. They always offer me a cold drink for the road.

I'm not a techie, but I believe the answer is that one does not have higher priority over the other. What happened to you happens via VRU as well, you just don't hear what interface the other pilot is using (VRU or iCrew); it just says someone else is going for (getting the JS) at the same time. I've tried quickly reattempting in hopes that the other pilot is getting the same message I just got, but I've never gotten a JS after getting the first message telling me someone else was in the process of booking it.

Not sure what bookings have to do with the TA. The plan on the 190 was to start training in the spring much like the 717. Certainly seems to be within the 3 year contract time frame.

DALPA posted how much hiring they expected over the course of contract 2012. We will easily exceed that number. Also keep in mind that in addition to the hiring we started with a 400 to 600 pilot surplus and had 200 pilots return from furlough and mil leave.

Secondary reference:
Indoc class size updates... I got the chance to talk with BB yesterday (24 Jul 15) and I specifically asked him about class sizes. He said they're on track to hire about a 1000 pilots a year. The TA had "no effect" on current class sizes or near-rock hiring plans. If the E190s were purchased, he said class sizes would have gone up slightly in Sep of 2016, but that's it.
Expect 20-25 flow throughs each month and off-the-street (OTS) hires holding class sizes around 30 until September where they'll go up to about "40'ish" and hold there for quite some time. Delta front loaded their large class sizes in the winter and plans to do that for CY16. So, seemed like very good news.
He did ask me about the wait time from the end of Indoc to training start (20 days for me... Low SSN), so I do know that's in his cross check as well.

No major airlines have done that in the past. They have all required full courses regardless of aircraft coming from.

Anyway, I don't think Delta's underwriter would take too kindly to such a program.

Jerry, all you have to do is look at the increase in jobs verses the increase in block hours to verify jobs gained or lost. I posted numbers in the past. You also overlook that crew planning in roadshows stated they made no manning changes for contract 2012.
DALPA posted how much hiring they expected over the course of contract 2012. We will easily exceed that number. Also keep in mind that in addition to the hiring we started with a 400 to 600 pilot surplus and had 200 pilots return from furlough and mil leave.

We had 12,500 pilots when we merged.
We have 13,000 now.
The block hours are up 30%.
30% of 12,500 is 3750 more pilots. Not 500.
These numbers are ball park but you get the idea.
Want a good deal? Ask our negotiators if the have 2 $20s for a $10.
