probably flown by an ATL crew..

 

 

Heh. If not MSP crew, prolly NYC, they already fly JFK-KEF & vice versa. Given the timing of the flights it appears they intend to route one plane MSP-KEF-JFK and the other opposite. Interestingly Icelandair already flies MSP-KEF a couple times a week in the summer, also in a 757-200. I figured they were able to fill it with connecting traffic to continental Europe... I guess DL thinks there's enough traffic headed just to Iceland to justify a second flight to KEF.

Spent a week in Iceland this summer. Beautiful country, beautiful women, fun city in Reykjavik.

 

I used to fly JFK KEF all the time when I was on the ER. Flights were always full of tourists.

 

I received the "Fix-it" emails from Delta this afternoon. From reading a bit back through the forums, does this imply they will offer an invite to interview? Have others out there received the "fix-it" email and never heard back?

Thanks

 

Complying with the FOM is hard? Having etiquette is hard? I don't really think they are hard. Honestly going through life thinking rules don't apply to you or are optional seems far more stressful and hard to me.

As a captain you know that every day 1Ps just head to the back with out checking in either because of bad gate agents or lack of knowledge about Delta's system.

As a captain you also know that anytime a you a receive a "stay at gate for performance" message followed by a WDR showing a jumpseater that jumpseater must sit in the cockpit. I don't really give 2 $hips if the plane won't fall out of the sky. I follow the rule. Just like I know wearing a hat won't make a better pilot. I still wear it because it is a rule.

Also I am sure you are aware that part of CRM is using all available resources to solve problems. If you don't readily know what resources are available to you then how can you use them?

My original post was simply pointing out an error by another poster. If you don't find them useful that is your right, however your response makes you seem more like a child then a captain.

 

To be completely honest, I commute (not for long yay!) so I list for JS a LOT and I have never once had a captain ask me to sit in the jumpseat because it said 1P(and yes I always check in!), and it ALWAYS says 1P, they never roll me to non-rev, not once has that ever happened to me despite that the FOM says that they will. But its definitely your prerogative as a captain to say they must sit in the jumpseat if you are concerned it will affect W&B.

 

I fully understand how the system works. If I list for the jumpseat, they give me a 1P pass, then sometimes when I go to get on the airplane, they hand me a seat card, I still say hi just in case the gate agent didn't remove me from the js or for whatever reason I show up on the WDR as a js'er. I don't always trust them to take care of everything when they are often by themselves and under tremendous pressure to get the flight out on time.

As to cnb's post, a jumps eater doesn't have to occupy the jumpseat if they are a jumpseater, we often have multiple jumps eaters with 1 listed on the WDR, and they all sit in back if there are seats available.

 

 

You may want to reread CNB's post because he is absolutely correct. If you have a jumpseater and you get a WDR that says stay at gate for performance, the jumpseater must occupy the jumpseat. It says so in the FOM. Will the airplane fall out of the sky like someone pointed out....of course not. Is it mandatory...yep.
