VIKZ,

Quit rocking the boat. I'm not sure who you are but I also will most likely be in the 2nd flow class to DAL and also work within the CPZ union. No one wants to be held back, but your most likely raising issues that may or may not become reality. Lets not put the cart before the horse.

As of last week, the low spots that new hires/recalls would get are.. Airbus MSP and DTW, Maybe 88 NYC, and maybe 88 ATL.

That's where the available spots are being targeted for the August guys.

AE in the fall, returning bypass guys can bid it. Not sure about the new hires.

FYI...

Vikz09,

My personal opinion is that it will take you very little time to get to MSP, assuming you don't get it right out of class. Believe it or not, MSP has become quite junior, & that's actually where the most vacancies are right now. We just had a good amount of DTW DC9 FO's go to NYC M88 so they could hold a line. It's not a very large base, MSP M88 is definitely the bigger of the 2. Last AE they almost doubled the size of MSP M88 to 160ish FO's, & while some bid in I think it was a net loss of FO's creating even more vacancies. Add to that the 50+ MSP A320 FO vacancies, & I'm thinking MSP is more understaffed then DTW & definitely NYC.

While I understand your frustration with being held back(Im sure you want out of Compass ASAP) I don't think you need to worry about getting locked out of MSP or in NYC.

When you do get here, welcome.

NWA Pilot - I agree with what you are saying but not how you say it. How about saying " Vikz Congratulations on DAL, put your worries to rest you will soon be at the base of your choice." No call to tell a guy to keep his mouth shut when he is just trying to get information. He said he is appreciative of the DAL pilot group - give the guy a break.

I also will gladly give you a welcome aboard when you get on which I hope will be shortly.

My appologies vikz. Congtats! Not going to class was very hard I lost everything, sometimes I get a little riled up when people are not humble. Perhaps a handshake in the crewroom someday let's hope!

I hope everyone will get where they want to be. Enjoy the adventure and the opportunity.
Delta is a great place to work, lets make it even better!

As pointed out by others your likely to be at the top of your class. Getting held back might actually give you a better shot at your base of choice.
Is the company doing something in violation of the contract? If not then its time to accept it and move on. If it is a violation that file a grievance.

forgot to bid

England 1, USA 1.

Oh boy. Can you say, FUMBLE!?! Its funny, USA fans are cheering, UK fans are mad.

I thought recalls could go wherever their seniority allowed, is that not the case? There were recalls with my class in 08 that were going straight to the 764, which obviously was not a new hire position.

Yep, recalls can go anywhere their seniority can hold. Go Yanks!!
