No trip assigned before 3:00 this afternoon either. I’m thinking I’m not usable for tomorrow but can’t find a PWA reference for how a NQ day is defined for this situation.
If you are going NQ for currency make sure you have followed the steps required to insure you will not lose pay.

Some of these prosecutions have taken place years after the actual event, once the truth about being a pilot is found out. The theory being said pilots lied to avoid being reported to the FAA.

Any truth to these legends?
how would harassment even be an appropriate charge for lying about having a pilot certificate, and how would delta have ever hired that person? Sounds like total nonsense

Tell me you’ve applied to DAL with fraudulent credentials without telling me you’ve applied to DAL with fraudulent credentials.

I am curious if Delta will fire me a they find out about the axe murders I committed in California. Thankfully CA is a progressive state and my ridiculously long 6 year sentence was reduced to time served and 30 days at county. This allowed me to quickly resume my flying career. GoJets hired me without any concerns if that might influence Delta!

If you promise not to touch the axe that lives behind your seat and most importantly wear your mask at at times we will hire you. We are desperate after all. Also a guy named wildblue will be your sim partner. Show up Monday morning with negative Covid test and proof you haven’t applied anywhere else.

Reserve vs. Line in a vacation month. Is one better than the other? Thanks

run the reserve line calculator (in scheduling tools or johnfbell.com) and find out what reserve will pay, then decide what you desire.

personally I almost always bud reserve in vacation months

If money is your top priority, bid a line.You will be able to WS more. (VACA is not "Credit" once the line is awarded.)

If more pay for less work is your top priority, bid RES. If it's a high ALV and your primary vacation, you could be awarded a RES line that pays 87-ish hours off the bat.

Use the link OOfff provided.
