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

Yikes, I feel like such a slacker. I have 0 RAW after 8 days of reserve. I even tried dropping my ys by 15 and didn't get anything, most of the trips went out on with a P. And I was still #2 all last week.

I'll be swimming in a sea of jepps when I go back to work I guess, can't wait til ship sets. :D

I should have better luck next week. I'm actually going to bid harder for a line with some else start nexts of course added in just in case. its fun when you bid, its like day 1 of baseball season, you can have whatever you want... until PCS shows up and you're down 0 to 15 in the 1st inning.

I will say I am now a believer in being able to do more than 6 days in a row on reserve. It makes swaping days off a whole lot better.

I've been uses everyday but 1 so far this month and that one day was the 4th of all days. My raw is already at 70 :eek:

Have you tried taking your hat off?

I was looking at the ER categories today and there are some reservists with RAW's in the 110's already.

I believe it. Schedulers tell me it's the worst fleet as far as sick calls. :eek:

I bet the 320 is a close second! :p

Not sure why they are having sick calls, the trips are built so well :rolleyes:

Yeah, no joke. The quality of the trips on the 320 have TANKED since DAL started building them. Flat out WEIRD stuff. I've heard the 7er has some real treats. ;)

Trust me there are a bunch of treats on all fleets. I have looked though all of the bid packages for Aug and no one has less pain than the other. These domestic and international combined trips take the cake.

I do like the DH to NRT than some intraport flying that the ER has, but I am sure that those will go to the top 20.

Yeah, domestic/international in the same trip is crazy. The fnwa 757 inter-Asia trips went super senior. Usually 80-85 hours credit for 40-50 hours block.

Ferd can tell ya all about them!!:D

I hope the union or someone is taking notice of those combo trips. The havoc played on ones body clock on one of those could pose a safety problem. The sick rate also could negate any planned for efficiency.

Even with a combined category, seniority would allow one to bid domestic or international depending on ones preference. The combos limit that choice even further.
