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

Yes. If there are no vacancies for a category you can't be awarded an AE into it. You can however displace into that category.

Additionally you get a paid move with a VD.

I was surprised to see some MSP A330 pilots use an AE instead of a MD. Not only did they give up the advantages/protections of a MD, they'll start commuting before their MD brethren.

As promised, since there was so much training they didn't award all the A330 Captain bids. Instead of 15 vacancies each, DTW only gained 7 and SEA gained 3.

And then let's go knocking everyone's trash cans over right in front of them and their families - and not even apologize.

Spot on ftb!

Are you listening DAL management? Or is stubborn pride still ruling the day?

No. Could have held it, but it would have been below the African Queen seniority level (i.e. below the top 30%)
