Maybe it's programmed not to call you if there's a possibility it would bust your rest.
I'm not on a trip and it works good. Just trying to set it up for a friend with the texting and all, but its locked on deltanet.

Thanks again...!
Don't park in the "normal" lot. Talk to the station manager (either walk there or get the number from a gate agent) to get a permission slip and instructions.

For example, in TPA, we park in the generic employee lot, with an on-site office to pay, and ride the bus to the terminal with the smurfs, food court staff, etc. Each airport might have a slightly different setup and instructions.

But I don't believe we'd ever be reimbursed for daily general parking.

I don't know Drank, I may have been the victim of a tall tale, but once a captain on the 88 told me when he was called in for an immediate GS that the scheduler told him to park in short term parking at ATL and Delta reimbursed him.

True--I have heard about getting reimbursed for a short-notice GS as well.

I was referring to jug's question about parking in an FA base. Thanks for clarifying.

I've seen that in the rotation remarks as well.

Bidding question.

I'd like to swap a spillover trip that has 10 more hours in January than the trip I currently have.

The problem is that if I get it and they use the time of the new trip to factor legal lines for January, it will jack up my January bid.

What trip would they use to figure my legal line value; the one I had when bidding closed on the 12th or the trip I have when they do the actual run (which I would imagine would be sometime tomorrow or the next day).

Thanks in advance.

I actually had them pay for short term parking in atlanta for a short call callout on reserve. $65.

On greenslips I generally park in short term because I hate the bus system in atlanta. It's a treat to me.

Gotta love the deltanet headline celebrating Delta and it's employees for being awesome in some survey with a picture of a customer sitting in first class on an RJ where none of the people working that flight are employees.


Awesome troll job.
