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

No it didn't - I lost 5 hrs pay, 2 yrs seniority, got displaced for another 30% pay cut and now pay more for medical, never mind the hit I'll take in retiree medical costs. Wooo Hoooo! But I can be a character actor in Das Boot, and I have a new found sense of arrogance out of proportion with my position ;)

Well at least you can feel good about yourself now ;)

Well, if you do get sent to an overstaffed airplane with a surplus bid you'll enjoy it. The DC9 is a fun airplane.

Do you understand that people can get displaced to an over staffed airplane that has a surples.

It is possible with the contract

That brings up a question, in the regional world if the airline announced they were parking a fleet type then you got seat locked on it and it could last for years. We had B1900D pilots at XJT that were seat locked for 2-3 years on that thing because they'd never let anyone off while they hired and upgraded everyone else into the other fleet.

So for those of us who were not here on the DALS side as the 732s, 727s, L1011s, 733s were parked, do they seat lock pilots on it? Do they make it a raw deal (XJT) or do it right (let people bid on and off)?

Did you guys get 1.5X pay for everything over 80 hours? or 85 hours?
