Adding *any* instructor rating should reinstate all of them. Do you have an MEI? Getting an MEI would reinstate all your CFI certificates.

Or go do the CFI-glider!

There is no positive bag match for domestic flying, only international. There is a standby bag tag that is used, but I've only ever seen used at out stations, not hubs.

I see, well I'm an out station kind of a guy. My bag is always down at lost bags.:D

1. Is my ATP at risk taking a CFI practical?
2. Recommendations to renew my CFI with minimum cost and pain?
3. South side aircraft rental recommendations?

I'd like to take him up in a 152 (or similar) for a few hours to see if he's got the bug or not. If it takes then I'd like to update my CFI so we can start work on his private and go from there.

Thanks!

I'm not sure why this is in this thread...

Because the guy is a Delta pilot asking advice of other Delta pilots.:rolleyes:

YS question. If I have a YS in for a first to fly on x days (trip starts during res but spills into a May off day, 5 day) and I have a YS in for first to fly on res days (4 day, all res days), which will run first? I have the 5 day as preference 1 and the 4 day as preference 2. Do they run in preference order even though they are different categories of YS's? Switching from res to line holder is hard...😬

APD question: so I put in my APD request on a day that has a little over 40% reserve coverage (25% required for APD award I thought) but the trip won't drop. What gives?

Is the requested APD date within +/- 2 days of a holiday (Memorial Day?)? I'm not sure of the +/- limit on proximity to holidays, but that might be the issue.

Is it over Memorial Day weekend, and is that one of the exceptional holidays?

It's not. It's the weekend of 21/22 and into Monday. I know there are some holidays in May, but nothing of note then, not even a super bowl

Call them. If it isn't close to one of the listed holidays they have to drop it if the coverage is 25%. All days of the trip have to be above the 25% threshold.
