BTW, if you are converting and don't know for sure when you go to training, you can look at your calendar in PBS. According to iCrew, I don't have training scheduled, but the training shows up in JAN on my PBS calendar.

I'm staying put in my category, but there are 10 or so senior to me converting in December from another category, and I'm just trying to figure about where I'll be bidding.

Thanks for the info. :)

Johnso, you are junior either way, just bid what you want, then forget all, award lines, award reserve :D

Do we get some S2 passes ever year? Or a higher then normal boarding priority?

You have six S2 passes allotted to you and your dependents, which are recharged on your hire date.

Ergo, You, spouse, and kiddos. Not parents or step parents.

Correct, except if you don't have a spouse, your parents get the S2s instead.

True, been a long time for me on that one. I have had a companion or a spouse for quite some time. Parents get their passes kicked down to SA 3C status if you have either a spouse or travel companion.

Delta Flight Attendants' Union Rejection May Be Voided by U.S. - Bloomberg

Delta Flight Attendants' Union Rejection May Be Voided by U.S.

By John Hughes - Nov 5, 2010 10:49 AM CT Fri Nov 05 15:49:16 GMT 2010
Delta Air Lines Inc. flight attendants’ vote to reject union representation may be nullified by a U.S. labor board controlled by Obama administration appointees, according to a senator and an analyst.
The National Mediation Board, which in August ordered a new election for technicians who work on simulators for Delta, will take similar action after reviewing flight-attendant allegations of company interference in balloting, said Ray Neidl, an analyst at Maxim Group LLC in New York. “The deck is stacked in the union’s favor,” he said in an interview.
Democratic appointees of President Barack Obama gained a majority on the three-member board last year, and in May eased the rules for organizing elections in the airline industry. Given that stance, the panel will probably order a revote by the flight attendants, said Senator Johnny Isakson, a Georgia Republican.
“Nothing tells me they won’t do that,” Isakson said in an interview.
