LCPs are passing up thousands of $$$ in Greenslips.

are they not allowed to fly green slips? Since I知 not an LCP, I知 not sure why this would be different other than they probably can稚 modify their schedule much after training is assigned

Yeah they can, but since we are so short of LCPs they are filling them up with training. They don't have to volunteer for their whole month, but most of them are pretty dedicated to getting the job done. And you are right that once they are 'assigned' training, they can't modify their schedule.

Looking at Jump-seating on a 220 and wanted to know the luggage situation for a standard rollaboard. If the flight is full is there a closet or space in the cockpit or will I be gate checking it?

Thanks Scoop

Might be able to put it in the closet, but FAs usually cram that full of their bags.

I think the best bet is to go down prior to boarding and put it in the cabin overheads. Not any room in the cockpit for a 3rd bag, from what I recall.

True, but has always been that way, and they never had problems finding guys in the past.

Also true, but it hasn't been as prevalent and long lasting as it is right now. This is going to go on for awhile.

Unfortunately LCAs are seen as the ladder climber types or the sky cops. I was one in the past at another airline and Delta seems to have a much more political culture around LCAs.

I think I depends on the fleet. The one I'm on, and the base I'm in they are all super chill... I think I depends on who is the lead in base/AC.

What is the typical range a NYC 737 FO credits per month? Assume someone at 50% in seat, base, and their type. What would be an unsurprising number to most delta pilots if the pilot hustled and worked 15 days for the month, living in base? I知 trying to compare this to American to get and idea of the amount of premium and soft time at Delta. Thanks!
