Anyone got the gouge on cheap airport hotels in DTW. Gonna be needing one in a day or so. Get in around midnight and need to catch a flight at 8AM the next day. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

I think they have given out more Green Slips on the 320 in the last three days than they have all year. A couple 5-days in DTW given out today to RES guys and I saw a 21 hour trip given out to a REG guy. SLC has basically no reserves until after Christmas. Wonder what they are gonna do when everyone has PB days on the 24th and 25th and everyone pulls the GS requests out?

How many are left? Don't know what it is like to fly, but riding in the back of that thing, it sure felt like a squirrel'y pitch sensitive beast while landing West in LA one morning.

They say color coding has returned to the Reserve Pilots Available screen, but I've never seen it. We need to hire some people, which is a good thing

on that note, A319 with a side of 320 pilots are like the beautiful girl in blue, scheduling needs in orange, and when the two get together it's pure magic! well, until someone makes just an itsy bitsy sick call...

I keep getting a pop up in iCrew telling me to remember to bid my golden days for recurrent training. It tells me that I'm available for training between FEB 2011 and APR 2011. I've got vacation right in the middle of possible training (from 27FEB-05MAR).
Two questions.
1. I'm making vacation plans for this time. Can they schedule me for training over my vacation? What's the likelyhood?
2. I went in and listed my golden day request to cover my vacation time. The repsonse from iCrew I got was "Training Request Accepted", almost as if I was asking for training on those days (vacation). Are these "golden days", the same as in the reserve system? Did I just screw myself......again?
Bottomline, I've been with Delta for 3 years and this is the first week (yes one week) of vacation I've truly gotten since I've been here. RA made a comment the other day about how DL provides for vacation accural for military guys while on MLOA. Well....not so. This is the first 7 days in a row I have gotten completely off since 9/11/01 and I really don't want it messed with.
