Did he say whether 777 or 350? Could make a difference on next AE's preference. 😀

Uh correction, the movie was “Shaving Ryan’s Privates”.

Well......guess I will be completely lost in the plot for that one. 🤣

You kid right?

Deviating from deadhead at the end of my trip (last leg of trip is a deadhead).

Question...when can I book my positive space seat on another flight? Can I do that right away? Or do I have to wait until I sign in for the trip? Just worried there won’t be any seats left if I wait.

Scheduling Reference handbook page 17.

Anytime after rotation report.

A total of 1 commutable trip for all of Sept! Between the awful schedules and not backfilling, are they trying to kill off NYC 717??

A320 ype Rating Question
 

Hi,

I'm currently a 17 years in service Air Force 707 pilot that is hoping to get hired by Delta at 20 years when I exit the service. I'm currently residing in the Atlanta area, so Delta is a very appealing option for me since I would not have to move. I'm looking at getting a A320 rating with ATPflightschool. It would be covered under the GI Bill, so it's just a matter of taking some leave for me.

I know there are other factors like making sure there are no errors in the application process and being ready for the interview. With that being said, would an A320 rating at least be somewhat helpful in the hiring process?

Thanks in advance

With you coming from the military, I'm not sure the type rating will really be that impactful. Being a (I presume a 135 or E-3) pilot, aren't you going to be getting out with your ATP already?

Complete waste of money. If you're a regular guy with an internal recommendation you're extremely competitive, roughly half of DALs new hires are military and almost none have a type rating for a plane in DAL's fleet. And even if you did happen to already have a type it wouldn't matter, your initial training would be the same as the guy who didn't.
