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

Looks like I'll be doing a reverse commute for a couple of months from MSP to ATL. I have to get the kids settled to start school Sep. 1st in MSP. We were hoping to be converted in August, but it is December for me with no training required. Is there a chance that they could move it up a couple of months? Who do I call?

Call Crew Planning, but do not bet on it.

Anyone heard what is going on with the LGA slot swap?

I think it is on the same timetable as the new terminal in JFK.

Friend of mine is starting 73N training in September. I remember reading about some study guide on APC (Fig's?). Where is that download located?

I just looked at the scheduled retirements list. It made me happy. :)

Just noticed that I have CQ in late July......joy oh joy........

How can I tell if it's in ATL or MSP? Or, do I just call training?

Time to star obsessing about the oral, just like every year

Hey Ferd, me too! July 28-30. If you're in ATL, lets hook up for a beer.

I'm just a first officer though so this is just my "theory." I don't know if this would actually work as I've never been able to try it.

Another not-so-obvious strategy is to do the "Before Start" PM flow after the doors are closed. I wouldn't know anything about this one either as I'm always on-time.

Thats what all your regional brothers and sisters have been doing for years...at least since they wised up and hooked it to the brake :D. No idiots here. It only takes me a second to release and then finish any last minute duties for a safe push and I'm making a few peanuts in the process.

In fact our beacon isn't hooked up just the 2 boarding doors (not service doors or cargo) and the brake.
