Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

Looks like over at Endeavor, the time between block out and when the aircraft moves forward under its own power is no longer considered flight time toward a pilot's Part 117 flight time limitations. That's an extra 5-10 minutes per flight that now can be used to schedule a pilot for additional flying in a day, month, year, etc. That change could make some very long scheduled days or be perfect for lengthy reroutes.
Do we have anything in our PWA that prevents Delta from doing that here?

Part 117 is based on flight time, not block time.
I see Delta defines flight time as block time. I hope that a manager trying to save Delta $$ doesn't rewrite the FOM to change that definition. (not trying to argue with you, thank you for the reference)

This is one of the biggest dangers of "door pay" IMO. Not worth it.
Flight time or duty time? If I am not mistaken, crew rest on international is based on duty time. The landing crew must be in the seat for 90 minutes in the last half of the duty period. - I think -

CQ bidding
Will a junior “must go” pilot be awarded their choice period before a senior “may go” pilot if both choose to bid before the “avoid training” line?

If there are enough training slots for both to go, the senior pilot will get his bid filled before the junior pilot regardless of must or may go status. If there are only enough slots for the must go training, the may go will not go.
The AE closed today at noon...where're the dang results?!?
