Is there something you specifically want to know? Can't repost deltanet stuff here at the risk of getting in trouble. If you PM me your email address I can forward you the .pdf

I assume you don't have Deltanet access?

You are right and I didn't think about it. I'm on a foreign layover with filtered internet and most of my dlnet doesn't work.

I did figure out a way and got a look at the list.
(Still not as senior as I want to be).

Thanks for responding. It was goofy for me to ask in hindsight.

You're cool.

Ain't that the truth....a few more years and a few more Joint Ventures and a few more code shares and there won't be any widebodies left!

I have never understood, even back to NW days, why the -A1 fleet wasn't handled as a sub-fleet to prevent those weaklings from flying into challenging airports. Somebody, somewhere must have determined we still make more $ by treating the 320 fleet as one, versus two to operate akin to airport performance.

And, I've got to ask the question: why are they still awarding 747 F/O positions? Look at the August reserve list on that thing compared to any narrowbody aircraft in NYC. Can we borrow some of these guys??? And that isn't a jab at 747 guys. If I could hold it, I would and gladly commute to reserve. But I don't understand the logic behind awarding that to people when they appear to have more reserves than they know what to do with, the summer months are over and the fleet is shrinking. Meanwhile...in narrowbody NYC land there isn't a single day of positive reserve coverage on the 717, M88, A320, or 757 (and just a handful on the 737 right at the minimum level). Again....not an attack on the widebody guys. I hope to be one of you someday. It just makes no sense to me why they underman NYC so much and keep adding bodies to fleets that seem to have plenty of bodies already. I'm hoping the 500 new hires coming July through October will help things out with some schedule flexibility and coverage.

Because if there is no second F/O for DTW-NRT an hour prior to push it's a big deal with 376 pax and 18 pallets of freight being loaded up.

If there's no F/O for LGA-JAX an hour prior to push they'll just reroute one off of some other portion of their workday and cover it.
