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

I've had numerous trips taken from my schedule for OE training and have always received a call the night prior. Not sure where you've heard the "if you commute" boogeyman, but in my experience, that has never been the case. (Or maybe I'm just lucky.) :)

The "DAL Poolie" thread tracks this stuff much better. Actual poolies there vs "well, when I got hired..." It changes so rapidly you need to talk to people going thru it now, not the old farts on LNG.

It can be up to around 18 hours- I backdoored the A's this time about 12 hours prior to them showing up on DLnet.

I've thus been unsuccessful in backdooring my B... maybe tomorrow...

They will call you exactly at 7 p.m. the night before. No earlier

The only time I've heard them do something different was during IROPs. Then they might make you show up before they release you.

Thanks for the answers guys. It's the first one of these for me and it has an Oh-dark-thirty show time. I've been planning as if to fly, just to be safe.

You just like saying the word backdoor.

You must be ready to upgrade if you keep trying to backdoor your B

Sometimes you have to hit that backdoor to show that B who the Boss is!
