ROLL TIDE

Thanks to the committee and all who voted.

He is certainly deserving of a big "Thank You" and you can do that with a "Lift" using myDeltaRewards. It's not easy to get to but click on "Employee Info | Rewards Programs" and then go thru the "Gaining Altitude" link. It would be nice if they made this easier.

Quick question: If you AE into a category and have a 2 year seat lock, can you bid into a new base and airplane if they start one (ie. MD-90 DFW)? Thanks.

Also, how long is Dc-9 training?

Try to remember that the "S" stands for Southern, implying the 'South,' the veritable armpit of the country. Enough!

If there's a new category, the freezes do not apply.

I understand a full school to the DC9 is around a month with off days included.

I'm a North guy, & I don't have my contract on me but I'm almost certain the answer is yes. As long as it's the same airplane, you can move to another base no problem.

For your other question, I think DC9 initial training takes about 2-3 weeks not including OE. Full systems course plus procedures trainer plus Full Flight Sims will probably take about that. I think it's 6 sims or so. I'm probably wrong though.

When I requaled on the DC9 after my displacement I got a short requal which was 1 day of systems & 3 sims(including my checkride), but that was because I had flown it on the line in the last 12 months. They'd never do that on an initial qual!!!
