I have an idea to fix this, let’s run a massive displacement and then once everyone gets awarded their new positions, let’s run and. Early out program …………

How feasible is it to pick up flying in other domiciles? Are there any restrictions around doing so?

Out of base whiteslips(trip pickups)are straight pay for regular line holders. In base whiteslips always come first. There are basically two scenarios for coverage:

1). >12 hours to report: must be no reserves available in that base.
2). <12 hours to report: you are higher priority than in base short call pilots.

Outside of 12 hours, you are probably taking a double pay trip from an in base pilot. Inside of 12 hours, you might be saving a short call pilot from being called out, but probably taking a double pay trip from an in base pilot. It’s legal per the contract…

Back when reserve levels were higher, there were many pilots who couldn’t hold an aircraft in their nearest base, so they’d bid NYC, and drop their entire schedule and poach out of base trips. With manning how it is now, I imagine it would be difficult to use that strategy.

Thanks!!!!

It’s interesting you say it’s misleading when I address that same caveat in my post.

in addition to what Omar said, the earliest you can OOBWS is day prior to the trip. Not nearly as much flexibility as some other places

True. English was always my worst subject.

But I also don’t think you can draw a conclusion that people are leaving us by the fact that 1000 CJOs offered and only 600-whatever have started.

Anyone know how often a new hire fails out of training? Could someone tell me how the training is at Delta? Thank you!

You have to try to fail out of training here. Its not quite spoon feed but its about as dumbed down as it possibly could be.

Indoc is explaining what ramp frequency is to the part of the class whose never flown airlines. Then explaining ramp frequency isnt going anywhere and theyll get used to it. Then slavishly drawing out a ramp diagram and explaining it again slowly with pictures. Then you as a classmate explaining it again saying "yeah no ****, most airports".

Try not to fall asleep.
