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

Thanks, yes thats correct I spoke to Crew Resources. For some reason I thought that if you kept a vacation that was bid as an FO, it either had to be liquidated and rebid, or kept but paid at FO rate.

Thanks.

Another smart thing to do is load up your bank on FO pay and then take it back at captain pay.

Harwood's reaction was quite amusing on the MEC Comm page. What a sore loser.

Now 37 additional A321s possible. How can this be without hanging a contract vote in the balance?

Airbus close to selling 37 A321 jets to Delta: sources - Yahoo Finance

Easy, the company does not expect a contract for several years. They have put out at the roadshows what the fleet needs are and so far they seem to be following what they said. Once these narrow body orders are done the next RFP will be in the 2018 timeframe to begin the replacements of the 7ER's around 2021.

Your satire/sarcasm detector is in need of repair.

Says more about the character of the individuals from the former regime. Openly hope for the current MEC to fail. I guess the "rocking chair" didn't weed out that character deficiency (TIC).
