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

Alpa has no problem setting up meetings in an airport. When I was at Skywest they did it all the time. Alpa rented a room near the Skywest pilot lounge in Salt Lake City. Every day there was food, drinks and plenty of union talk. Why can't we rent a room in ATL, DTW, MSP and have the meetings there? Heck, why not rent a room in MCO for all those Floridians???? We could call it a satellite meeting and have reps from multiple MEC's there.

Or better yet, create a LEC that is MCO based... for example.

Some what off topic, but can an out-of-base white slip pull a RES pilot off of a trip once that trip has been assigned to said RES pilot? (Day prior)

Call the res pilot and call the scheduler. I've seen it done before.

Look at you pick up limit before you waste your time though, you might have to park a trip to be eligible:eek:

Would love to get by with just a tablet (IPad/Android) but don't think those are quite there yet for everything I need/want to get down on the road (e.g. bidding with Easy Bid). Also like to carry a nice mix of movies/music and they fit quite easily on a netbook or a laptop. Macbook Airs are nice BUT like any Apple Product (even refurb) very expensive.

I'm very happy with my notebook. I do alternate between it an my iPad depending on the trip.

Unfortunately I was the RES pilot in this case, and I didn't receive a call from a line pilot. Just thought it was weird since I had the trip already.

Another shameful slur from the ALPA lemmings. Since similar comments have come from slow, alfa and the other usual suspects, it must be the latest claim right off the ALPA smear fax machine. It only shows you have not read a single thing from either the DPA website or their literature.

DPA is whatever you want it to be? I can tell you that if you are hoping to give away more Scope, DPA will not EVER be what you want it to be. But ALPA will be perfect for you. If you are hoping to keep expectations low, DPA will not EVER be what you want it to be. But ALPA will be perfect for you. If you are hoping for legal representation who loves contructive engagement and not defending Scope clauses, DPA will not EVER be what you want it to be. But ALPA is just perfect for you.

I could go on.
