Where in the he11 is the projected training/ conversions for the AE that closed 2 weeks ago? Dickson's update said it would be out sometime LAST week. Some of us are trying to make plans for the next few months. Might be some nice info to have on hand.
Steve D said they should be out today. I'm wearing out my refresh button every 15 minutes. It's still not up.

Has anybody had problems logging in to the Microsoft store on their personal profile on the Surface 3? I can't get mine to work at all. I have to say, for outdated technology, I'm getting way more use out of this one than I did the S2. Except that I can't download or install any applications.

The interesting part is what the new SIL rate might be and whether it will be different by category. Kind of a "Dutch Auction" aspect to it that will play out over few months perhaps.

Ref LOA 2. para 9A.
I've done lots and lots of SILs "back in the day". I considered 55hrs of pay (instead of ~70hrs) for a guaranteed month off a good deal. But that was back when we had a pension and a 55hr month early in my career would not affect my FAE. We also had no profit sharing, 401k, or DC plan at the time. Today I would not do it for 55hrs, and I sure wouldn't do it for less although no doubt that's what the company has in mind.

However, there may still be individuals who would jump at a low paying SIL, probably to devote a month to military duty, or some lucrative side job, or maybe a personal sabbatical. Who knows?

Well it says it's posted (projected conversion) but the link produces "page not found".

I'm gonna bet that they posted it, or thought they did, and headed out to make it home in time to trick or treat with the kids. I bet the link will be dead until tomorrow. Hope I'm wrong, I've been waiting like you guys.

Definitely. Frustrating.

The projected category list for the AE does the same thing.

You know what, let them enjoy trick or treating. I might be away from my kids tonight working, but if they can spend time with theirs I'm all for it. I can wait another twelve hours.

Happy Halloween

Pfft. Look at you with all the maturity and reasonable perspective. You do know this is the Internet right?!

This is not unexpected. Delta likes to promote from within. IT VP cum laude from Fulton County CC. Glass half full, you'll have a month off before OE.
