Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?
I want to say you can withdraw from qualification training prior to being converted, but you would incur a 2 year seatlocked in your current position. This may just have been a fnwa going to dal equipment and vice versa. Standby-I'll look it up. One of the gurus around here can probably confirm or deny before I find it anyways
I can see them drawing down the 320 in MSP and adding 88s up there. You can do almost everything that the 320 can do out of MSP on the 88. The 320 can do what the 88 can't in ATL in regards to range.
I hope..... Just about to put an offer in on my rental house up here in Wisconsin. Hope it doesn't bite me...

If they open a 330 base in ATL the time has to come from some base. With them adding time in DTW on the 330 it would hint that all the time will come out of the SEA base. This of course assumes a 330 base in Atlanta. The company may decide just to keep dead heading people back and forth.
Edit, Forgot we had a 330 base in MSP. Time could come form MSP or SEA. Here is a statement from the company.
We expect this bid to put us in a solid position to support the scheduled 2011 summer flying. We plan to publish our next bid in the second quarter of 2011 to support the proposed fall 2011 flying. It will most likely be a 365 day bid and will include some changes to the A330 and A319/320 basing. We will let you know more as we get closer to that bid.

Can someone post the procedures for downloading your schedule via I crew max to Google Calendar for import into a Droid phone.
I successfully accomplished this last month but have since totally forgotten how to do it.
Thanks Scoop

Looks like you're right with 1 exception. PWA 11.J covers this situation. KC10's "friend" could withdraw from ER training if the initial training is conducted at the MSP training facility provided he is a fdal pilot. In that instance he could return to his former -88 position while incurring a 2 year freeze

If there is a shift in 330 flying to ATL, I've always thought most of the flying for the new category would come out of MSP and/or SEA with MSP being first on the chopping block. There is nothing earth shattering in this bid or showing what the company is thinking. I wouldn't put it beyond the companys thinking to then move time out of DTW too.
Heck, maybe they've decided not to move any 330 time on the next bid and are just covering additional flying!!!!

I forgot we had a 330 base in MSP. They could share the pain with SEA if a ATL base is opened. Its never fun when they pull time out of your base to fund another base. I was in SLC when we had 120 crews on the 767. They yanked 60 crews out to open up the LAX category. Huge impact on the SLC base at the time.
....and that was the last time sailingfun ever smiled.

Comments???? 330's to LAX?? LOL. Bye bye 320 MSP...Hello ATL from what I heard in MSP last week.
I had check airmen on JS the otherday, said ATL 320 flying would come from MEM/MSP/DTW and not SLC, but he clarified that the information was 2 months old. I'm sure things are changing fast.
You think MSP 320 will close all together?

MSP 320 was drawn down considerably when the MD90 moved there from SLC. Any further draw down of the MSP320 is probably to zero.
