Crikey!!! $100,000+?!!! Any idea if that was mostly from fines or from lack of former payment of dues. If it was from lack of paying dues I'd like to know how he managed to get away with it.

I have heard MSP 330 will move eventually to ATL. I too think SEA 330 will stick around and do more Asia flying, vs ATL to Europe and S America will be done by a future ATL 330 base.

just got called by the wilson polling center and gave em my 2 cents worth. If you get a call from a 603 area code thats who it is. fwow

What sort of questions are they asking? I got a call from them yesterday but didn't recognize the number so I didn't answer. Now I"m curious about the poll & wish I'd picked up. Oh well, maybe they"ll call back.

Basically questions about how the mec and lec are doing. What do I wanna see the union focus on, what do I think about the union working with mgmt and outside sources on behalf of the pilot group, do I feel the represent all delta pilots the same since the merger, what do I think about alpa national, do you feel the mec communicates enough with the groups, how was your last recurrent training, etc

Ferd, good luck!!

Thanks. I remember seeing the heads up that some of us would be getting a call, I didn't know if it was a Union or a company deal. I hope they call back. I would love to chime in on a couple of those.

It is a Union poll. They pick a cross section. It is scientific in nature so not everyone will get a call.

DH Deviation via iCrew
 

OK, here's the short version on the beta test of the DH deviation via iCrew.

Sign in for your trip as normal.
Log in to iCrew. Yes iCrew, not eCrew.
From the NRSA Travel menu, select Jumpseat/Deadhead (This is currently visible just for the beta testers).
Select "Positive Space deadhead for back-end deviations"
Enter your rotation and requested DH flight. If your rotation has one leg, you can only book one leg of positive space. If it's a two leg DH, you can book two legs.

Overall it was a positive experience and worked quicker than calling someone for booking a deviation. You still are supposed to call scheduling after your last "working" leg and let them know you deviated.

It should be live next month.

Good luck with calling to deviate. I just finished a trip that had a dead head from my home town back to base. I spent over 30 minutes on hold trying to inform them I was deviating before I gave up and just informed myself I deviated!
