I think I made a good decision though. Talking to some folks, I guess its not going to be until net fall/winter that the additional 90's show up. I'll be halfway through my seatlock by then and will have the chance to come back to a more active 88/90 category fairly quickly if I decide to do that. Would hate to be commuting to reserve on the 88 and be better than 70 percent...

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?
ranger:
No. You can't train over vacation. Won't compute.
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?
Adust the Golden Day Window to precede your vacation, in that month, and to cover any other days in the remaining two months you need/want to avoid training. You may still fly/RES those days...Training exclusion only.
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.

I bailed last bid. Going to DTW7ER. Wish I wouldn't have ever left CVG in the first place, then I wouldn't have had to bid DTW. I wasn't going to commute to reserve and not at least make as much as I could. Not looking forward to 24 hour short calls though. Maybe I can get displaced...

Or use the T.O.C.S.A.

Haven't done it, but I wouldn't doubt it's been done.

Is there some sort of unwritten rule about where to put your luggage while jumpseating on DAL? I know what it says about deadheading and bags in the belly, but jumpseating says coach in overhead bins. Is this not the proper South ettiquette?

training scheduling
Hey gang,
Does the ATL school house run classes on the weekend? I'm trying to make sense of the schedule I see in pbs vs what I see in my curriculum guide.
Thanks

Yes it is. However, a little courtesy by putting your bag down below certainly won't hurt you and it will better our product on a full flight. The flightdeck is also available and frequently used to simplify the boarding and unload the FA's and rampers. Just sayin...
