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

From the MEC published notes: Unable to Commute Policy – The last revision of the policy has placed policy execution back with the Chief Pilots, allowing them to handle occurrences with discretion at the base level. Reports have been that the program has been working as intended.

So has the "rare occurrences" been eliminated?

Yeah I know. This is one of the biggest financial issues thats been brewing for a very long time now that no one wants to talk about. Just like real estate was AAA rated up until the second it collapsed (to the mainstreamers with their heads in the sand...there were volumes of warnings that were laughed at and ignored of course) this too will catch us by suprise even though we've seen it coming for generations.

They are, and you cannot see them. Right now they are running and re-running them so that they can reduce the training waterfall in a year where they need to move sims. Once that is done, they will be posted.

How does rerunning them change the training waterfall? Unless you mean tinkering with the actual tenative schedules with the upcoming and possibly overlapping bids that will occur within the 365 day conversion of this one (i.e. closing the other 2 DC9 bases and whatever else they intend on doing).

Other than that, how does rerunning it change anything?
