It has to do where you work, not where you live...if the co does not like the policy, do you really think they would not have anything to say about a me too clause. Since the company uses the term the "Delta Family" don't you think they should demonstrate their concern for the family and allow all Delta employees to use this important benefit.

What do you have against a great contract, Mike? You don't want better pay and work rules?
I'm kidding, brother. Have a great week. Da Bears..........suck this year. At least we have the Cubs this year. |

Bears v Cowboys is usually a Sophie's choice for me. Grew up just outside Chicago but my parents bought me a Tony Dorsett uniform when I was like 7 years old. Usually root for whichever team has a better chance for the remainder of the season, which on Sunday was 'dem Cowboys. Cheap ass Bears management sold all their good players yet for some perplexing reason kept overpaid underdelivering Jay Cutler. Oddly enough both my teams are completely hung up on garbage overpaid loser QBs. Hoping the new kid in Dallas turns things around.

Can you slide your vacation back if the original vacation flows into the next month?

So - say you have the week of Oct 30-Nov 5th. Assuming the bid period for Oct ends on the 31st (no idea if it does or doesn't). You can request to slide the Oct 30-31st anywhere in Oct bid period. You can also request to slide the Nov 1-5 anywhere in November when you bid November schedules. |

Just grab an E-timetable and search for places we used to fly. You'll see it's all AF-KLM now, or Virgin. Or just ask your 20 year co-pilot how things are working out. While UAL expands to secondary cities of 10 million in Asia, we drop service altogether to BKK. KAL and China Eastern will fill in nicely with A380's and 777-300's. Profits to managers, pilots not so much. Our scope ship has sailed, sailing. When those ER's start timing out, get ready for the coup de gras. UAL has west coast based 787, 747, and 777 pilots because they have a real network, with real airplanes. I know people there way, way junior to me living the dream. Scope was important. We F'd it up.
Dal has 747 330 777 787 on order Real airplanes When our ers start timing out in 2020 they will be replaced by 787 whose orders were deferred to 2020 Do you see China Eastern flying from China to billings Montana? So why do you think we would be successful flying Seattle to a non major city in China? what airplane do we have right now that can expand into Asia? Could it be possible that we might start testing these markets with the 50 plus wide bodies we have on order from 2017-2022 - 350,330 neo 787 Also you said profits managers not us, did you not collect a profit sharing check last year? Delta is not perfect, but I just don't think we are as far off as everyone thinks we are. And we have a ton less regional jets than American and United |
Blasphemy!

Sorry to interrupt football season, but I had some questions for the reserve guru's.
What reason would someone volunteer for more short-call days? Is it solely to get the extra 1 hr of pay? Are short calls less likely to be used typically? I live in base and am trying to figure out how to best work the system. Also, if my preference is one day trips above all else, do I simply put that in the PCS option, "Qualifiers to be used only if needed to fly"? I put one day trips in that option, but it made it seem I was telling PCS I WANT to fly a day trip on reserve, as opposed to simply saying, "if I HAVE to work my preference is a day trip". Hope this isn't too confusing. Thanks! |
