Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

If you want QOL you stay senior in category. If you are senior in category and in need more time off you can post your trips on the Swap Board where they will be gone with cat-like quickness. Especially if you're a Captain.

It appears the company plans to run a tighter ship staffing wise using Greenslips and Inverse Assignments as an operational buffer. Good news if you want to generate extra cash this summer.

Where is this data posted? I'd like to look at it.

Unless you are very new, you can get senior somewhere.

Sure, somewhere. So someone is new or newish or a few years on property and they have lived and started a family in Minneapolis or Seattle or Atlanta or Detroit. Have these folks had many opportunities to get senior? How are we defining senior? Would being senior in NYC fill your requirements for having QOL if you had to commute there from your distant home?

Hopefully, Delta hasn't hired any pilots that don't understand what a "seniority system" is and where they are in that system when hired.

Maybe ALPA needs to change into a democratic socialist system......that would be "fairer" for all ...RIGHT?

Well Buck.....if the number 1 guy system wide lives in CVG and has a family there is he senior?

Gosh, these are difficult questions.....,.almost as tough as trying to define what "out of seniority" means!

Its a lot difficult to understand complaints in this unprecedented airline pilot reality.

I dont mind sometimes having very productive trips but also not when the LCW gets up to 91:30 hrs. Sometimes I want a nice layover and relax too.

All times are GMT -8. The time now is 05:42 PM.
