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

I'm about to finish OE. Due to PBs, I have a block of reserve coming up that is one day long. I've tried to move it, but no dice on md88B.
My fear is I get tagged for short call, and have to fly in the day prior for 1 freaking day.
Do I have a chance at long call? Any advice?

Not even off IOE and complaining about the schedule? Welcome to DAL(seriously). Make sure your careful with your comments on probation.

You could call Delta and tell them you don't want the payback days. Then you won't be stuck with the one freaking day on call. Keep your head a bit lower on probation. It will take management two minutes to figure out who you are from the post.
To solve your one day off issue however I would GS on the PB days and make some extra cash and earn more PB days.

It happens. What sucks is when you fly in the night prior and they don't use you at all the next day. But it gets better bro. It's still better than being deployed in a tent in Asskrakistan.
