The following is from the contract:
Pay and Credit
1. Qualification Training
a. A regular pilot, while assigned to qualification training:
1) will be paid and credited the greater of (or at his option, on a bid period to bid
period basis, either of):

i. accommodate travel between his base and his training location when such training is conducted away from his base, and/or
ii. accommodate such training, and/or
iii. eliminate an FAR or PWA conflict that arises because of such training, or
b) pro rata portion of the ALV at the rate of the highest paying aircraft model
shown on his line for each training day.1. Qualification Training

training days on which his schedule shows “OFF” (not scheduled to attend training), at the rate of the highest paying aircraft model shown on his line or if he has not flown during the bid period, the rate used to establish his reserve guarantee or unassigned pilot guarantee
There is more in the contract about white slipping etc. if you are a regular line holder while in training but you get the gist with the above....if you are in training for the entire month, you should get a minimum of the ALV.

I guess it doesn't matter if I bid for Jan in old equipment then...(I start Jan 1). I'll probably get a rsv line anyways.

this reserve gig isnt too bad, all the line holders are picking up all the open time. I guess with lower line values these guys just pick up everything they can. I'm ok with them being strapped enough that they are willing to give up days off and allow me to stay home

You're correct - they don't. Not really sure many hiring boards would either. I think PIC = guy who signs the release. JMHO.

Sim instructors,
Does Delta use line pilots for sim instructors or do they hire off the street for the school house? I've looked on the Delta.com site and did not see a link for sim instructors.
Thanks,
Marty!!!

Some line pilots, but the bulk (from what I've seen - 90% or so) are retired DL pilots working for DGS. Never seen a guy hired off the street.

I cant seem to get the exact figures but Gol pilots do not make a lot of money and they work a whole lot more than their US counterparts.

We have some "ground" instructors that were hired off the street about five years ago. They are DGS, and can teach the 100's and 200's.

They asked me about the type with no time. I was a straight shooter. Told them I interviewed with SWA in early '05 when Delta had tons of pilots on the street. Got turned down. Hence... 737 type with no time. Ended up being a waste of money.
