The APD that did my LOE said they are anticipating newhires in the 320 program sometime around September.

The guy that called me about coming back said the holes are in the 320, MSP and DTW. Some 88's, maybe in NYC and ATL. That was a week ago, might have changed.

This came from the guy that fills the holes.. fyi

Thanks Scoop - Getting close to the 1000 post club :)

In Deltanet, on the flight ops page, left side under "pilot tools" there is a "Password account self service". Answer a few security questions and it will be reset for you.

Someday, we will enter 3 employee numbers into the ACARS (hopefully 2 of 3 will auto load). The capt, the fo and the lead fa. The fa will get lead pay, and then you can log takeoffs and landings on the summary page post flight.:cool:

Depends on if their contract survives or not.....

Their pay is transparent to us and DBMS takes care of it. Once the fNWA FAs transition to DBMS, then we shouldn't have to fool with it either. On another note, when they, (fNWA) get rerouted to a DH, they cannot make the reservation in TravelNet, because they are not in DBMS. In fact, had a group of them that we were rerouted with who told me they can't even make non rev listings in TravelNet for personal travel.

This should be put on the new hire classroom door and changed to say "WELCOME TO DELTA.... ENJOY AFRICA!"

Hey guys,

I've got recurrent in July and am trying to modify my travel to ATL the training guys put in for me. Apparently, the system has changed and we can't do it ourselves anymore. Is that true? All I want to do is change the flight to ATL and leave the return flight alone. Do I have to call training for that? Seems like a waste of my time and theirs.

Ever since my indoc and a head of network planning mentioned they've had problems with internal leaks of network data and plans to airliners.net, I've found it to be a good place to troll for data. Actually, I just read the thread starter before the ms flight sim jockeys and basement dweller start to chime in, but here:

With the schedule load of 19JUN, DL has placed the 747-400 back on LAX-NRT eff 31OCT, as well as placing the 747-400 back on NRT-PVG and NRT-HKG up from A332 and A333, respectively.

Given these new route additions to the fleet, this represents the highest utilization of the 747-400 fleet since the merger between NW and DL. For those of you that were hoping for ATL-GRU, ATL-HNL, or any other such routes, right now it looks like it's not going to be in the cards. For the fall, the 744 schedule, for now, appears as such:

JFK-NRT

DTW-NRT
DTW-NGO
DTW-HND

MSP-NRT

LAX-NRT
LAX-HND

NRT-HKG
NRT-MNL
NRT-PVG
NRT-HNL

NGO-MNL

Given this scheduling, DL will be using close to all 16 ships in active rotation - the highest it's been since the merger. Currently, only about 11-12 ships are used in active rotation with several sitting has ready spares around the system.
