no issue. It’s not prohibited

Only if you get randomed! Limited to 100ml per regs.https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-...tcanibring/all

but still exempt in uniform

wait, so if you get randomed and you're not in uniform, you are hosed on the 3 ounces or > liquids? Serious question, didn't know the answer

yes.

from the KCM website:

Crewmembers not in uniform:

• Are not allowed LAGs exemptions and other exemptions applicable to uniformed flight crewmembers.

Yes.

If you go to KCM and get random'd and have to go through TSA Pre-check with the normal travelers, you are subject to the 3-1-1 liquid rule unless you are in uniform.

I kinda figured, but just wanted to make sure. THANKS!

If you want to follow all the TSA rules, don't open the bottle. And be in uniform. I've done it many times and it's never been an issue.

Their rules allow 5L of alcohol below 140 proof in sealed retail packaging.

Another one to file under "we didn't think they would do that." Batch size limitations have made the greenslip coverage process clunky enough that in some cases scheduling has been skipping the process if the senior pilot eligible declines the trip and rerouting pilots instead. That way it "appears" they have followed the coverage ladder when in fact, they have not. ALWAYS file an Ace report if you're rerouted. That is all.

To be more accurate, we did think they'd do that which is why we have the ACE app and have been told exhaustively to report anytime you get a reroute. I'm not surprised at all that scheduling just does what they want. That's why we need full time ALPA volunteers sitting in schedule and tracking.

Do it not only for yourself, but for you bros and sis's that might have been denied a greenie opportunity form your reroute

they'll get paid too.

It's a tradeoff. We can have no batch size limitations and hundreds of pilots could have their phone ringing for every green slip that goes out. Or, we could go back to the old days and they can call one by one with 10 minutes between each call. IMHO, we've hit a relative sweet spot. Don't make us all a slave to incessant Delta phone calls because our reroute language is terrible - fix the reroute language.

Personally, I like calls for green slips when it's plausible that I could actually get that green slip, or one of several offered. There's no system that is going to please everyone in every circumstance - particularly when the company doesn't follow the contract anyway. Be careful what you wish for, and don't expect the company to comply with whatever language we have at any given moment. That's too expensive and/or too bothersome for them, and paying grievances for violations we hunt down with our own dues dollars is very much preferable for them.

Anyone else feel like the level of incompetence at almost all Delta Depts is at an all time high. From scheduling, to tracking, ramps, and even the dept that handles late arriving aircraft and managing swaps. It seems to me like we have incompetent people working everywhere at Delta now and passengers are paying the price.

Metrics are all that matter not people. The sooner we all realize that the better.

The moment that happens you become AA. Ask me how I know…

How do you know?

How do YOU know I know?

How do I know you know you know?

Because you asked me to ask you how you know.

That is what happens when you pay talented and experienced employees to leave. We've had tens of thousands of years worth of experience walk out the doors in the last 18 months. For those of us remaining I'd venture the GAS (give a s...) factor is lower than it has been in over a decade. Do you care more or less about your job performance than you did two years ago? Multiply that answer by 70,000 employees.

*In 2019 Delta employed 90,000 people.

I can no longer recall the exact details of the non cons early retirement deal. But I do remember thinking it was an IQ test--if you were anywhere near retirement age and had any math ability it would be really hard to justify not taking it.

In my neck of the world we lost a lot of really smart people. And the ones who stayed seem to indicate that yeah it was an IQ test.

Opinion only

It isn't just an IQ test, there is also a motivation component. In a previous career as an office cubicle dweller, re-orgs and early retirement packages almost always meant talented people were leaving for greener pastures. It wasn't just those close to retirement who left. Great employees with bright futures and positive attitudes were often part of the exodus. Those with dimmer career prospects couldn't find a place to go. Early out packages are almost always a HUGE talent drain.

Yeah my comment was overly unkind. Little frustration dealing with some folks who didn't retire, making me miss the competence of those who did.

Totally get your point regarding smart motivated people. Snarkiness aside, for the folks near retirment age, it would have been extremeely hard to find a logical reason to not take the deal.

Here's a tip - this USB-C adapter - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 allows me to connect our new iPad Pro (M1) to a TV via HDMI for watching CQ videos, e-brief videos, or other streaming video on a big screen. Worked for Netflix or HBO Max when I tried those out. ;-) It showed the iPad screen in 1080, but when I watched a 4k Netflix show it switched to 4k.

Either use your own HDMI cable, or there is another Anker one available on Amazon that has a cable as part of it, I haven't tried it out but looks the same https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Adapter...cs%2C96&sr=1-1

From knowledge of buying other iPad accessories, cheaper, no-name ones have a tendency to not work after an update or two to the iPad - I'd pay the few extra $$ and I'd stick with the Anker.

An one else receive their ‘brand new’ iPad Pro 11 only to have the screen scratched…in multiple places?

They don’t come with the plastic peel off covering on the screen?

The iPads are new but already opened since they have to first be set up by the company. So all the normal initial Apple packaging has been removed. The package you get includes the ipad box but the iPad itself comes already in the pivot case.

??? I was hoping for knowledge bomb.

I know by law the company has to post W2s by Jan 31st. But with the IRS opening up filings starting tomorrow, what are the chances the company posts W2s by tomorrow?

Turbotax emailed me today and said my Delta W2 was available. It isn’t, but something tells me data is moving from Delta to ADP and I think tomorrow is plausible.

I looked back at previous W-2s, and in some years they were emailed on the 25th. (2018/19/21 they were on the 25th, 2017 & 2020 it was on the 18th)

I received a hard copy in the mail yesterday. They’re definitely out there.

Mine is sitting in Self Services right now. Must have populated this morning.

Myidlisting
 

Did the username and password change? I couldn’t log in - been using the same username and password assigned to Delta for years - is this a website or an IPad issue?

Thoughts?

Thanks. Scoop

You list through the myid link found in travelnet. No more generic login. Just make sure you select pilot commuting when you’re making your listing to not get charged.

You Da Man!!!!!!

Thanks

Going from er to 400. What does MMC under status mean after my 3 days on sim?

I believe it’s when they think you are going to do OE.

mid month conversion

Coming off rest tomorrow for one day of reserve. Going NQ on 31st. Does the start of NQ count as a “hard non fly day” in reference to 23.S.7.F for being released no later than 12:00 base time. No trip assigned before 3:00 this afternoon either. I’m thinking I’m not usable for tomorrow but can’t find a PWA reference for how a NQ day is defined for this situation.
