There are regionals that PS people if they are need of pilots to cover the operation.

What is wrong with it? From talking to a couple NWA/DL pilots it happens from time to time there also.

The problem is that they use Delta to PS pilots to cover the United operation. That is (picture a finger wave, Deltalina-style)... not allowed on this or any other Delta flight.

A SkyWest crewmember getting a positive space DH on a Delta flight to DEN where SkyWest flies for United is a no-no.

You can tie two months together if you are junior enough over the holidays and be on 19 with one day off.

That's how we used to do it at NWA. Bid 20+ days on call because the bucket didn't stop at 4 days. If you had 20 days in a row, you were in the 20 day bucket. Basically you would never get called for the first 2 weeks because you were always at the bottom of the list.

Yes I know you did DAL88, and I will again reiterate that I have no issue with reform, just not reform by removing ALPA. I have stated my reasons why.

You also know what I am for and against, being Pro-ALPA does not change that.
