That's down right dumb. I'm sure Captain Dickson would say, "first of all let's take safety off the table, many airlines operate this way".

Time for a "Roscoe".

For those that don't live in the ATL area, this coming week is spring break for the majority of ATL school districts. As you can imagine there is a rampant case of anal glaucoma going around... Supposed to be home by noon today. Rerouted/"extended" twice today for a 13+hr day, 8+hrs block and a middle America overnight. Yay! By 4pm they still hadn't covered today's open time and tomorrow's wasn't even touched. That was ATL M88B fwiw.

The contract does allow it. As long as the trip follows all the rules it is legal. Delta is you getting you back so early so you get the required rest and then you go out again the same night. Back to back greenslips. Work 3 days and get paid 42 hours credit.

This rotation was built with 2 duty periods, but no one picked it up so they tried to cover it with one. It still went via greenslip. 21 hours for less than 12 hours away from base with 1 leg flown. Not bad. Our LOA would have allowed this rotation to pay less.

There most definitely have been some flights cancelled in last couple days due to no first officers. Not a rumor.

Had an FO in the hotel can say that a gate agent told him the reason for flights being cancelled was we were doing an illegal job action. The union needs to end that rumor now.

Thats BS. DAL shouldn't have slowed hiring in anticipation of the TA2015 efficiencies. They f'd up

This is solely on the company's backs for leaving the airline at minimum staffing and delaying hiring. They knew this was coming but instead chose to leave it on our shoulders for years...

Seriously!

Its inappropriate for the company to blame their poor planning on a sick out.

They purposely didn't hire till way too late to try and make the books look good. This is not our problem.

How do you check a GS before acknowledging?
 

My I-crew Kung fu is weak. Is there a quick way to peak at a GS before acknowledging it? I didn't see it in open time and by the time I downloaded the bid package to find the rotation # I could have missed it. Even then, it had changed since the bid package, but luckily for my ignorant heinie it was an improvement.

So true....DAL management screwed up big time when they slowed down hiring in e second half of 2015. Don't believe the excuses for one second that they had to reduce training because of sim building construction. That's a cop out and outright lie. Sure, some 737 sims went down, but plenty of other categories had sims that were just fine. The sim building the last three months of 2015 were a ghost town
