Are they allowed to? I thought we had this issue years ago with the 350 and won a grievance? Am I mistaken?

The 350 used a Delta flight number/call sign. Therefore it was a Delta flight flown by non Delta pilots. Probably not the case here.

Customer Acceptance flights are done before final “delivery.” The CA flights verify everything is in working order and then the aircraft is flown to whoever the customer wants it. These are two separate flights. Anyway, I think the consensus is the CA flights aren’t required to be flown by SL Delta pilots but the delivery flights are.

Ok. Regardless of everything that's going on, and how we feel about it, 20000 is within sight people. Post away. Don't let up now!

Paging guard dude

Ok, this should generate a few posts!:)

If the Company and the Union (biiig if) come to a deal offering voluntary leaves of 6/12 months etc.....I wonder if they will be available to VEOPers who got held over.....:)

Denny

How awesome would that be, you just take a paid leave until your VEOP date!

8th green slip for a SEA 73N B today...F$&@in ridiculous with UNAs sitting around and furloughs imminent...I never thought two plus years ago when I came here it would get this bad. Are we chasing a rabbit around the track here That we’ll never catch up to as far as QOL? Friends who went through multiple interviews here and didn’t get hired are much happier at FDX and SWA...I’m still waiting for this place to be the place I heard from all the senior pilots I flew with and the jumpseats I rode on when flying RJs. I really hope when the dust settles we have some credible leadership in FlightOps and more importantly EB. Optics/Anti-Union is way more important here than anything else and it’s sad...

THAT is a spectacular dream! Twelve months of paid voluntary leave, followed by three years of retired pay! Completely moronic, so of course it’s a shoe in. I congratulate you Denny.
