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.

Off topic....

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

Sort of....

You still have to pay via CC to activate the listing and, if it all goes south, you can get a refund BUT you burn that pass when the refund is issued.

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.

Default 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.

For what it's worth, it's 100 hours in 28 days.

You are pay protected for any trips they need to drop to comply with FAR's.

C'mon, Han Solo. This might be a little over the top.
