H on the trip coverage screen is for an Out-Of-Base Green Slip. It's pretty far down the coverage ladder.

Does anyone know what the H code is for on the daily trip coverage report? I've never seen it in SLC until this week on the 320.

I think it means; 'How in the He!! did we get anyone to answer the phone?!'

I agree that reserve sucks, but when your work schedule is in the hands of individuals who neither care or follow our contract it becomes brutal. Let's all set a stopper for this by letting your rep know.

Gotta get out of the Delta mindset of talking to your rep and start filing grievances:mad:

You should cc that to the SC/NC guys. I'm all for a cooperative environment but it's about time to go Medieval on these guys.

Do you really think that I have not talked to guys that are intimately familiar with these practices? :D

Earnings Preview: Delta Air Lines


NEW YORK (AP) -- Delta Air Lines Inc., the world's largest airline, reports its second quarter results before the market opens Monday.

WHAT TO WATCH FOR: Delta's results will clearly be better than last year, when the airline industry was still reeling from the recession. That's why the comparison to the first quarter, when it reported a narrower loss, will be key.

The company said it expects to be "solidly profitable" as it makes more money per passenger of tickets and fees. As the largest airline in the world, it's also benefiting from the general uptick in global air travel. The total number of international passengers rose 6 percent in the first five months of the year, according to the International Air Transport Association. Traffic at the front of the plane -- the most expensive seats in business and first class -- improved at an even faster clip.

But premium traffic fell farther and faster in the recession than demand for economy class. The IATA said this week that premium traffic is still 10 percent below a pre-recession peak, while coach class has jumped 5 percent above its best point before the recession.

WHY IT MATTERS: The financial health of Delta and other big airlines is an important indicator of consumer spending, but it can also provide a window into the future of fees and fares. If Delta shows it is gaining passengers, expect that price hikes are not far behind. Analysts say that while airlines have raised prices since the recession ended, they still have room to grow.

WHAT'S EXPECTED: Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expect Delta to report a profit of 63 cents per share on revenue of $8.27 billion.

LAST YEAR'S QUARTER: Delta reported a net loss of $257 million, or 31 cents per share, in the second quarter of 2009 on revenue of $7 billion.

Also, they NORMALLY assign tomorrows rotations to Reserve pilots shortly after 0800, but recently they have been waiting to see if anyone drops a WS or Out of Base WS in for these trip so they do not have to cover it with a reserve. They will also not assign some trip and assign others. It has nothing to do with Report time or trip length.

Do not accuse them of not knowing the contract. Claiming ignorance is a easy way out.

Yes, & when no one white slips it they desperately attempt to drop it on someone after 1500 who is coming off an X-day. They leave messages saying you have to take it because you've submitted a YS & it's greater then 12 hours notice. I just laugh at the messages, & don't accept it. But a friend of mine actually had this situation, & they didn't take it off. They called him in the morning saying he missed his report, & he had to argue with them. They denied putting it on after 1500, but he had a time stamped schedule of when it wasn't on there. They will push & push because they don't cover it when they should.

It's gotten so bad I just yank my YS after 1500 so I don't have to deal with it

A guard nazi is bad, but it's still better than a Nazi guard.
