Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?
+s and -s
Anyone cups bid longcall but the senior guy bidding it got it. So if you were senior on reserve you could sit longcall all month while the junior guys sat shortcall all month. You also bid on the wrap times if you cared. Both systems had their pluses and minus's and now we need to take all the pluses and make the current system better.

agreed, can't hold a line anywhere except for NYC and that will never happen. but this current system makes commuting to reserve the worst experience yet bc of the aforementioned reasons. ALPA fix this s___!
if you were lucky enough to get one of those late RAPs you were essentially off for the day and not legal for the am pushes the following day.
lastly, the old contract had a ratio of shortcalls to longcalls, they couldn't arbitrarily place the entire pool into shortcalls as I have seen them
do here.
it's really too bad there was such a hurry in putting this last contract together, we all couldve benefited from some more drawn out strategy of renegotiating scope, DC, pay and work rules.

True, but if you bid long call you were first to fly. If you were trying not to fly you wouldn't bid long call. Smart bidding of days off strings and certain RAP times were much more effective to get extra days at home, however it was only a benefit for non-commuters. The commuters usually wanted to fly if on a RAP. Bottom line...commuting to reserve sucks either way.
I agree 100% that reserve sucks either way though
I'm getting a pop up on Deltanet that tells me I have to complete LMS CQ training prior to Nov 30th. I have tried to access it at home with my Mac and have had no success. Does anyone know if this is a windows program only? Thanks

Download the Firefox browser, works well with the fNWA stuff, even DAL stuff for that matter. I deleted all the old bulletins I had regarding, but the IT department was committed to supporting Apple.
The guys I know from AA deplore their SC and reserve system in general.
