I feel like it pops up on the PBS calendar when you go to bid for next month, as in August. I thought it did, maybe I'm wrong.

They have to post it by the 5th prior to the month they want to send you. If you didn't have anything on your schedule for August by July 5th then you won't be doing it in August. So now look for something to pop onto your schedule prior to Aug 5th for the month of September. They do this so you will know about the CQ training prior to you bidding for the month.

You will get a pop-up on I-crew that you have to acknowledge with your password that says training has been posted on your schedule. When you ack that then go to training/vts info and you will see the dates they have scheduled you for training. It also shows up in the PBS calender like FTB said.

Capn, I'm going at the end of this month (Jul) and I was notified in May with the pop up message. I think FTB is correct, if you're going to bid for Aug in PBS and it hasn't shown up yet you're probably off the hook for Aug. If they do schedule you, they'll have to drop trips or reserve days to do it, which isn't likely.

Do you know the deal with the training golden days? You can put in up to 5 days for each month you are eligible for training that they can't schedule you. I always put in the first 5 days of each month I'm on the hook because if I'm surprised with training, I want that time to study. I don't know what other guys do.

So they bypassed recall to stay at Compass until after the merger?

That says something.

I think there is more to that story.

If someone could remain a Captain at one airline, until making Captain at the other airline, while scoring a military retirement and making O6, that would be a perfecta trifecta. A Captain three times at the same time.

$20 to the first Compass guy who pulls that off.

Saw the stars for an O8 on a BMW on the parking lot. Have we one of those at Delta !?

We have a few. One works in the training dept.

#1,2,and 3 at Compass hold DL seniority numbers... it is my understanding that all furloghed NW pilots had the option to come to compass; however, by the time compass was up and running NW had begun to recall so only four came, one was terminated after a failed drug test. When they agreed to come to compass they were asked to stay for one year, after one year they were recalled at NW, but there class was one of the classes that got cancelled when oil spiked. So now all three will be in one of the first classes of recalls.

Wrong. They didnt choose to stay at Compass. They had to stay at Compass for 1 year and when NWA was hiring their class in which they should have returned got cancled. Why would someone choose to stay on 3rd year pay making $67 per hour when their seniority at DAL would be on 10 year 757/67 pay?:eek:

Compass Flow back seniority dates

1. 1 15 01
