I can’t say I’ve ever had a room with a couch there. If that’s for security reasons, I’ve also never felt less than secure. Outside the hotel sure, but inside is good in my experience.

It was a joke. :rolleyes:

Does anyone know if we are the last customer of the 737ng? I know our last delivery is in May of 3930
I was wondering if we might be able to pick up a handful more for really cheap since the Max has so many problems.
We have so many 321 on order though

I think so.

More likely delta will get a deal on the max real cheap.

Hopefully not one more 737, ever -- after the last -900 in a month or two.

If you are a regular line holder when the trip is on your schedule it’s yours. The caveat being if the made a coverage mistake they have time to take it off. So if it NOOPs then you get straight pay. The rules are different for reserve. There are 23k recovery obligations

DTW350 10 day trip. There is a LAX 79 hour layover on this trip. Are guys allowed to commute home for this long layover?

"Allowed" might not be the word you are looking for. I am sure some pilots have "expanded their view" on their 3-day layover but, in the end, it all boils down to.....you better be back to LA by pick-up/brief. Not so sure the "Call in Honest"/"Unable to Commute" policies work well in the middle of a rotation at a base that does not have A350 reserves. 😁

Rumor had it a pilot went home to FL during his 75+ hour ATL layover and, due to the outbound to ICN leaving just after midnight, thought he had an extra day at home. He didn't. I'm sure that went over well.

Does the contract speak to this? Plenty of us do things that COULD leave us ill-prepared to fly after a long layover...ski, mountain bike, eat the local food or sit next to someone with measles or walk down the street in Baltimore. I'm not aware of any official guidance and live my life in a way that preserves the likelihood I can meet my obligations to Delta. Am I missing something?

I hope not. Having non-revved and deadheaded on both the 321 and 739, the 321 is a far better customer experience. The 739 is my least favorite Delta airplane as a passenger.
