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

I spent the night in the ATL domestic crew room the other night on my commute home. You would not believe the parade of people that go through that room at all hours of the night. It is used as a short cut by the ground guys as the back door goes directly outside to some idling age equipment. FA slept there also, but she had the courtesy to ask permission.

NY is just as bad, all manner of people utilizing the room. Mos of the chairs are filled it FAs every night. I sorta understand as their room is outside security in the basement.

NY has one thing on ATL though, our TV is much better!

ATL has a new recorded video security system in all the critical areas of the lounge. There are already some people trying to explain away what was recorded....

Just a little word to the wise....don't leave your integrity and good judgement at home!:eek:

South guys,

Can you tell me how the trips in the bid packets are organized? I don't see the logic. They seem to be all over the place. At NW they were organized from longest to shortest and then by credit time within the group. I.E. 5 day trips were listed from highest credit to least. Made it easier to flip through the packet to find what you wanted and ignore the rest.

Thanks,

Gnewt

If you let someone in the CP's office know, they pull the tapes and look to see what went on. Had a night there last month and was woken up by a party in the lounge. Seems some construction workers thought they'd found a good place to take a break. There was no sleeping with the microwave door slamming and ESPN'S SC blaring on the big screen. :mad:

LOL. Thanks ACL. You're a big help. Numerically? That's it? Maybe we can add this to the list of improvements we ought to make?

I think there are some issues with this bid. Crew Resources is looking into my bid, as there are junior pilots that received an AE ahead of me into a new category. I think what may have thrown them off is my qualifier of 60%. I believe they only looked at the people that were AE into new category, and not the entire category at the end of the conversion window, per the contractual language. This would have put me above the 60% qualifier......

If you look on the other forum, there is at least one other pilot that CR called and told him they had not given him his proper award and gave him the choice of accepting it, staying put, or taking his original award.

I'll keep you posted, as it's possible that I'm mis-interpreting contract language, but I don't think I am.

Tomcat, I bet you get what you want.

There will be some that have issues, it is only natural.

Forgot about Joe. He wasn't kinda short, he sat on a phone book!

No, not PP, but I've seen him around
