lucky you! They hit us up for OE within 2 days of the LOE. Don't forget everything while you're on your company sponsored vacation

Yep, you're done with short calls at 6 now.

Yeah the DAL side has had the changes but the NWA wont see those changes until "bid period five".

I was told during training that the 765 and 7ER could not be one category (type) because the FAA considered them too dissimilair in terms of the cockpit. I do not know if other companies have different set-ups. Also, as far as every 76 pilot being domestic and intl, DAL puts a big emphasis on cross oceanic flying and therefore ER pilots must do a one day class and two sims to be qualled. An expense they don't want to incur for every pilot. They are trying to control problems that have occurred on the North Atlantic Tracks that have happened in the past.

I heard that NWA has no such training program for their bubbas nor oceanic OE requirements so if that is true that will be interesting to see how DAL treats that. There has been a recent FAA turnover in ATL and I hear they are hard a$$es and are looking at those type of issues. Worst case, NWA guys may have to do this in time as part of their recurrent. At least they will get paid for it and can get introduced to crab legs at Spondivits.

Likewise are Greenslips now x2 instead of x1.5? Anyone know?

I'm pretty sure that for the old DL side of things we are now completely covered by the JCBA. There are a few parts on the old NW side that will be phased in over time. I don't think that LOA 19 ever went into effect - It was superseded by the JCBA.

In the crew lounge today, management pilot said there is a displacement bid in January. Anyone hear the same rumor?

I've heard it's very likely.
