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

I recently talked with a pilot who because he did not understand how to use PBS in a training month dealt himself over a 15% paycut for the entire year! That's a tough thing to swallow when a hour on the Internet or a few phone calls would have saved the day

Can you elaborate on what happened?

Hey anybody know how to sign up for the ALPA website/And or get text messages from the union about bidding/vacation etc? Heard about this the other day and don't know how to sign up for it. Thanks.

Go to the DALPA site: Dal.alpa.org log in, go to the 'notifications' link and opt in for the 'Pilot Blast' with your cell phone number. You'll get text messages for bidding opening and closing dates and bid awards, etc.

Any idea how to sign up for the website? I go to login and don't see a place to sign up as a new member.

In a short staffed category with 12 day trips. Had 3 or 4 shadow days at the start of the month. Bid a 12 day trip going out after the shadow days. Could have bid and held several 12 day trips touching the shadow days and had the entire trip dropped and paid for. Would have easily received a 12 day or a couple of 6 day greenslips. Worked 12 days got 75 hours pay. Could have worked 12 days for 225 hours pay.

Tomorrow call the DALPA office at 1 800 USA ALPA and have them look up your ALPA number, they can walk you through the registration and log in, and pilot blast sign up.

You've probably also received what looks like junk mail from DALPA. In one of the 1st mailings I got from them, it had my union number and a temporary password.
