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

Also a part of LOA 29, the SOT (Scheduling Optimization LOA) It also brought about new reserves required computations; allowing better swapping ability for line holders, CQ bidding, and a ton of other things.

Then why was I launched on SC with two hours to report to LAX during rush hour to DH in the middle seat of a 757 to JFK to fly a NYC originating 4-day rotation?:D:rolleyes:

Depends on how long your application process, hiring, and training takes at Alaska! :eek: (Oh, you were asking, assuming you stay at Delta?):D

True that! Could probably get here in a couple years at AK....I'm going on 11 years and just barely hanging on at DAL.:D

She must either be a USC or Miami cheerleader. The ankle bracelet is a dead giveaway.

I'm thinking that's Danielle from Western Ontario. Metadata can be your friend!

Just read the PWA and the TWG papers on PCS, Open Time, and swaps... I THINK the answer is "NO", can only white-slip out of base for same-day or next-day. But thought I'd check here if there was a way to pilot-swap-board it or something?
Thx

Bump. When I look at the swap board I keep thinking this might be possible, since it says "category" but not base? Come on Buzzpat, we could work something out! ;)

Two reasons why I don't want kiddo becoming a cheerleader.

1. Dirty old men on the internet.

2. That just looks way too dangerous. I think you're safer playing football... which is about as healthy as a car crash.

That's when you tell them "I get there when I get there..."

Gotten out of a few nasties where they wanted something less than 2 hours for me to do something crazy for a weird deadhead to get them out of a bind. "So when do you think I'm going to be there??"

I am not crew scheduling's lack of planning!

Yeah, I considered that, but the next flight would have DH'd into JFK at 3:00 AM and I didn't want to spend the night in a chair before flying back across country two legs in the AM.

So here I sit between a husband and a wife who are fighting. :eek:
