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

If you are a narrow body FO you're just better off not looking. Judging from the rediculously high Feb ALV's in those categories there's going to be plenty of suck for all FO's to enjoy. Let's make sure we give them some TLV relief in the next TA. :rolleyes:

Not so fast, there are plenty of exclusions on when you can use an APD. And I'm not familiar with what Timbo is saying, but it would be nice if it's true.

I think in your last month to use the APD, the necessary reserve coverage to allow an APD drops quite a bit, it's not all the way to zero, but it is less than at other times. I'll see if I can find the exact % and post it.

Riddle me this.....

How can two people WS two one-day trips on Jan 12th and the pilot reserve levels don't change? 8 available with 8 required with two one day trips in the pot for the 12th. Both one-days get picked up and the numbers are still 8 and 8.

That said. I could be wrong and the thing is b.s. anyways. :D

Okay. I get to shadow bid for February. I've left the Douglas fleet. How should one shadow bid anyways if you know you won't be done with OE until mid month? Do I just pack my trips in the beginning of the month? It shows 7 days of shadow on the schedule and 9 days of sim worth very little.

I never knew that thing had a snapshot time. It was 17 minutes after the PCS run. Who knows......probably nobody.

Why would you bail from the Douglas fleet? You know they will park them for sure now.
