Oh and the wifi is out in seat 16F.
You got a window seat? Lucky you.

If someone can't rationalize that, they have no business advocating for off the seniority list RFP flying, even if they are right about the "affordibility", which of course they are NOT right about.
That brings up a great question, if regional flying is good for mainline pilots then why isn't a b scale good for mainline pilots?

Resurrect a B scale in exchange for ending Delta Con? Pros and cons?

Default PCS Run Times

Guys,

What are the current PCS run times? Disregard - found it:

Add a fourth daily PCS run and revise times to 0700, 1200, 1700, and 2200 (Eastern Time)



Thanks Scoop

Yup. Whatever it takes to get the airplanes on the property. You can always fix the payscales later if you have to.

We need to get that flying back. Or, brace for a career filled with competition with other pilots on different seniority lists.

I think I'm breaking guarantee on reserve this month. I've worked 12 duty periods. That should be 63 hours, right? I had vacation so that's 21 hours, right? Am I going to get paid 84 hours this month? If so, I'll be rolling in the money. I haven't broken 70 hours since last summer.

As one of a small group of Delta pilots who did the 5 full years on the B scale I have one word for you. NEVER!!!!!!
