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

Reminds me of the time I had a 30 hr layover in Fayetteville, NC. FA's did too, but mistakenly though we were going to be in Fayetteville, AR which is apparently a much nicer overnight.

Needless to say, they didn't bring anything to pawn or have any tattoos to add so their layover in Fayetteville, NC was very uneventful.:eek:

Ah, layin' over in the 'villes.

Absolutely. I've chosen to commute to NYC, DTW, MSP, ATL, SEA and LAX rather than driving to DFW for years. :D

If only I had a choice to switch to a Dallas based employer without starting over as a new hire. Employer mobility is a huge advantage in many other careers. Which is something I considered when making this career choice.

So, what's the over/under on how senior you'd have to be in category to slide your December vacation to cover Christmas? Bets? I'm at 55ish%, do I have a chance?

Sorry, was aiming for sarcasm. I commuted for an eternity of 8 months. It sucks.

That is about where I was last year my category and I was able to slide mine over Christmas. It all depends on whether or not you get an unstacked trip.

Well, I'm in about the 99th percentile and I slid a November vacation to cover Thanksgiving. I've got another week in December and you can bet I'm going to try and do the same thing! :)

Wall St analyst report: Delta may create overseas subsidiary | Finance & Data content from ATWOnline Something to be concerned about from a pilot group perspective? And if so what can be done?
