Yes, they're still there until the vacation year ends. You just call CS and ask them to place them where you like.

You need to find the “Vacation/Bank/Pay Back Day” listed on the same menu as your Timecard link. You should be able to see it somewhere there.

On reserve you can PD a day and cover it with a PB day but it won’t change your pay for the month because it’s use just gets you back to reserve guarantee.

I should know this but: Does it have to be the FIRST day of the trip you are dropping and using a pb day for? Could I use other pb days during that same trip? Thanks very much.

Hey guys. Just a quick question. I’m a Comair alum from 2006 to 2010. Never involved in the drama of the strike or the RJDC (I think that’s what it was called). I have had an app in at Delta for a few years now and have 6 internal recs. Had a couple buddies submit my app directly with recruiting and haven’t heard a peep. I graduated from a 141 flight school as a check instructor in less than 4 years. Above a 3.0 gpa. Never failed any check ride or training event. Have volunteer work. Live in ATL. Have several friends hired at Delta in the last couple years. My question is do you think the Comair on my app is preventing me from getting the call for an interview? Is it possible that that’s still a thing?

Yes, it starts with the first day and increments through the trip from start to finish. Remember you can also pick the trip back up via PCS white slip (or try to, since someone senior could get it first) and actually fly it for straight pay if you'd like.

Yes. Very few Comair guys at Delta. I've seen some guys hired but they had high up recommendations or their father was a Delta pilot.

Did a quick scan of the boards and PWA and I couldn't find the answer.

Where is it written how vacation is paid in regards to aircraft (specifically 320 v 321). I know we get paid higher rate on reserve and was under the impression it was the same for vacation. I'd love to know where this is written because I've wasted lots of time this morning trying to be a lawyer.

I doubt it’s a issue now. Make sure one of your internal recs has properly submitted your app to be screened. It’s a bit confusing but just attaching a rec through airline apps does not get your app pulled.

Pay for vacation is not specified so you get the composite rate (320). The paragraph on reserve guarantee specifically says that it is paid at the highest hourly rate you can fly.

I think there was a discussion on this earlier but can't find it. I'm switching from a Droid to an iPhone. Seems like there were some pro's and con's to personal and work Apple ID's on either device. Anyone more adept in the Apple world have opinions ?
