It'll be awesome! Our profit sharing check would be HUGE! Oh. Wait. Maybe not. |
[QUOTE=sailingfun;2386571]To a extent. There is a crossover point where it's better to add pilots. There are issues beyond straight cost. The company has increased staffing in some categories as a result.[/QUOTE
Any you can be sure the company knows those costs down to a nickel. |

Green slips seem like easy money. My advice to new guys is to never cancel plans with your family to fly a green slip. This job is hard enough on family as is. Family needs to come first on off-days. I have heard pilots talking about skipping trick-or-treating with their little kids because that experience isn't worth the $8,000 the green slip pays. That's a terrible mindset to get into. Another one I've heard is the $6,000 beer that the pilot just drank making them unable to accept a GS with an immediate report time.
Now Xmas, Graduation, Birthdays etc might be a different story |

I did an $8000 GS once that had me working July 4th. That GS paid for a nice one week family vacay at Caneel Bay Resort on St. John in August of that year. So, I had an even more quality time experience with my family windsurfing, snorkeling, and kayaking. My girls still talk about that trip.

Buddy passes only pay if they get on the flight, right? |

Your seniority is a tool.
The contract is a tool. Learn to use your tools wisely and you will be a craftsman. Don't worry about how others may or may not employ their tools. I'm currently building the most beautiful summer I have ever had as a pilot at Delta. Pay and time off is a work of art. I wish I could show my paycheck stub and schedule in a gallery. Ok, that's enough bragging for now. You CAN make it happen, learn to use your tools. |
Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?
So the company has been pretty efficient at using me this past week while sitting RES. 6 days in a row utilized, 36 block hrs of flying.
That said, because my JUL hard line schedule has all of my trips piled in the first 20 days, I'll be over my 100 hrs/30 days limit. Who takes it in the shorts? Me, or does DL have to buy a future trip from me? And when will they pull the trip? I'm hoping for pay protection, but have never even come close to being utilized this much while on RES and haven't had this issue. Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
