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

Well, we are working on getting a bunch more. The deals that are official are announced. We are looking at getting the JAL birds as well as the other China Eastern birds that we do not have yet.

They are stating mostly entitlements and reinstatement. Of course the CVG ER will send ripples either way.

Duuuuh... ya think?

He 80 a good way to see if they have you sked for tng is to look at the reasons report. It will show any training scheduled. Yes, even for May. If it is not scheduled, then no luck....

LOL.. that would be nice of course, but it is painfully obvious what the ripples generated by the drawdown of the CVG -ER will do. The only non sequitor is the requirement for the CVG guys to be getting their Chinese visas. Makes one go :confused:... but then again, they make guys go to recurrent when they will go to a new airplane next week.

The relationship between the airlines, airports and the TSA is a very complex and political one. Political beyond what most folks realize. I see this getting standardized sometime in the next 50 years or so.

Yeah, I guess that I was using too big of a blanket in my statement. I am intimately familiar with the structure and workings of the TSA. My statement was more in response to Crewpass. This is a hq item and if it was acted upon, the direction could/should be standard across the system. Right now, it is tied up in funding and other things.

1234, you are correct about CREWPASS. I am referring to the other nuances of TSA

The IDs typically are checked against the release...

Could you please expand on this? How do you bypass security at outstations?

KC10;
When TSA approves said airline. As with some of our outstations the local TSA has proved alternate means of verification. Nuf said.
