Thanks. I'm seeing a 101 and a 102 on my first 2 days of 717 school. Just curious about the classroom location. And my newhire partner starts a day earlier than I do and is doing "FMS." That sounds self-explanatory.

Go in for that FMS class if you can make it. By far the hardest thing about the 717 is the FMS, although I've heard it's fairly similar to an Airbus.

Same "from" logic.

I have some fragments of MD11 DNA in me. Looks similar.

717 avionics/FMS = MD11 avionics/FMS.

If you flew the MD11, you'll be right at home. But it's a smaller home. Really smaller.

Those events should take place in classroom 3007 in OC3, there is a link to the device map on the the 717 training page on Delta Net.

Do go to the FMS class if you can, it's time well spent.

I've had a 4-day trip converted to a 3-day trip due to an equipment substitution. My iCrew schedule shows "RR" in the left margin (I assume that means reroute).

If nothing else is assigned, will I be pay protected for the day that was removed from my schedule?

The PWA examples all deal with same-day reroutes. I couldn't find anything pertaining to an entire day being dropped. Thanks for the help.

You are pay protected

You're guaranteed the original value of the trip, assuming you're a line holder. It won't show up on your time card until the trip closes out, it'll show up on a separate pay code referencing the contract paragraph. They don't do it until closeout in case you get re-rerouted and it's not necessary.

So if I get called for a GS and I don't want it, as long as I don't acknowledge they will remove it, right? I messed up my preferences and got called for one that checks in too early for me to get there, and it's still on my schedule An hour after they called. I went on to look at the trip but did not acknowledge.
