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

No, and I have no problem with significantly improved rigs. The purpose of a rig is not to gt free money for nothing. It is to equalize pay for bad schedules the company choses to make. If they make productive schedules, they pay no rig money. If they make junk schedules, they pay and there's nothing wrong with that.

Ok, well I am 100% on board with that statement. Sounded like you thought I should make less money than my swa buddy I am riding to work with today because he is more productive. Which he is, but it is the company's fault that is true.

It showed that it was full ALL DAY. :eek:

I've just about given up on Travelnet loads being accurate when it comes to hub flights. So many of our pax connect on RJs, miss connect, so consequently the oversold flight goes out with seats open and the open flights fill up with HKs.

If you're at a hub, you may as well try whichever one works for you...but leave yourself a backup or two. First flights of the day are notorious for filling up with HKs stranded the night before.

Remember what Fred Ried said. "The customer prefers RJs"

The AV/AU also shows tickets on hold from the on line brokerages. I use the airport standby list with a 10% buffer and it seems to work outside of major irops.

Nosmo,

I think you and I are attracting different kinds of chicks. When I was younger, I would say, "Great. Less Competition." Nowadays,for me, it's a spectator sport, and the shiny buttons seem to attract the most fish for viewing. Your leather jacket was probably appreciated for other reasons. :D

I think delta.com is still crashing. I am having all kinds of browser security alerts and the website then crashes. A least crew scheduling called me to tell me that my flight has been delayed. Planes, trains, automobiles.

Hey quick question for anybody who has ever dealt with this...

Travelnet is showing there is a Buddy Pass Embargo between January 1-3, 2011, so does that mean any and all pass travel that day is not allowed or is just buddy passes?
(i.e. Basically can my wife and I still non-rev travel using our pass benefits?)

All times are GMT -8. The time now is 05:12 AM.
