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

I don't know - the "November Short Calls" list says they only predict 4 FOs. They had 8 scheduled for Nov28-29, and it looks like 9 for Nov29-30.

It's not normally that way - usually 4-5.

It's weird, DTW and ATL have a huge percentage of their FOs on SC for tomorrow.

Seems like they bumped up the number of short call pilots significantly this weekend. I think the short call times/numbers are more guidlines than rules. We normally only carry 2 - 3 short call pilots per day in a category in CVG, but the 24th and 25th we had like 8 guys on the hook on the 88b each day.

On a side note, GO HOGS!
