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

PBS question. If I bid a specific rotation and later in the bid put in a avoid that would filter that trip would it filter it or award the trip and filter other ones?

I believe you should be awarded the specific rotation if it is available to you. The avoids should only affect trips or preferences below the avoids.

Yeah I hear you. They tell you who to call before/after sign in during the second to the last brief of indoc with Mr. "Manager of Probation and Mentors" all dressed up in the "proper Delta uniform."

Lol
Btw I routinely call to check in. I don't always go to the crew room.

I used to call to sign in, but lately it takes FOREVER to get a scheduler.

I just wait for them to call now and kindly let them know I'm at the airport. :eek:

I do it all the time when I bid for a specific red-eye but further below I put a general avoid red-eyes to avoid other trips - works great.

Talking contract in the crew lounge before sign-in last week. Checked my schedule to see if I got a swap I put in. Nope, grumble... grumble. Hey haven't seen you in a while where you going.... Blah, blah, blah. Gotta go airplane's pulling in see ya later. Moments later. Delta scheds ringtone on my phone (AC/DC Highway to Hell)... what?, no I'm at the gate watching the flight deplane... Oh I'm sorry, thanks. No harm, no foul, forgot to sign-in.

Beats standing in line hoping to find my good pen to show off.

Pretty much required to hit the lounge for sign-in, otherwise I'll be stuck asking 10 different gate agents for the door codes.

Bad move. Now we're late. Restroom, food, call home, then print schedule if I can find a printer that works. I'm not really motivated to run around on my 40 minutes turn with a plane change, but that's probably just me. :cool:

Oops, internal voice keeps getting out.
