No such thing as a "base lock" at Delta.

Thank you. Had heard that the base I got with the aircraft I chose would be my base for the duration of the lock. Glad to hear notice case!

You can try to change bases as often bids come out, if you're not changing equipment or seat.

Keep in mind the aircraft you get initially *can* indirectly limit your base options. Want to be in SLC? The 73 or 320 is a better plan than 88 or 717. Maybe that's what they meant when they told you that?

I believe that you are correct. Knowledge is indeed good.

Pretty simple. Subtract moves vacation earlier, addition moves it later. If you put in a range of dates, it tries to move it the furthest first.

Now it exists.

Sure. Read the Scheduling Reference Handbook. Go to page 88.

Bonus: it is now permanently located in your Secure Content Locker. Check the folder titled "PWA and Contract Support."

Figured I'd ask here.....

For CQ bidding, if I want to train in the month (of July) as late as possible, I think I can have a one line bid, Prefer Off July 02-July 31, placed above the Avoid Training line. In (my) theory that should cycle thru dropping days from the end of the month and I should get the latest one available. Yes? By far my biggest priority is training in the second half of the month. Don't really care about about Sim periods etc. Thanks,

Denny
