Is there a limit as to how many times you can move days off around on a reserve line? I checked my request in PCS and it says "not allowed until next months schedule" Prior to this request I have moved around days off twice so far in December so I'm guessing it's a 2 award limit per month? Couldn't find anything in the contract.

The hydraulics and flight controls specialist on the NTSB "Go" team related quite a bit to me about that mishap. He was my uncle.

I with ya on the scope issue. Big time.

I'm fine with it, but the seniority thing has had a huge effect on me with respect to being ATL based. (My choice)

Occupy,

What exactly are you upset about here? You praise American, criticize Delta, and post an article as proof that Delta is sitting on the "industry leading sideline." But, the article says that American is/was joining Delta and Alaska's intentions to switch to the ipads. So what that American got approval first? Delta is working on it, aren't they?

First paragraph of the article:

I mean thanks for posting the article, but don't misrepresent it as if it is suggesting that Delta not trying when it comes to implementing the ipad for use by its flight crews. It takes away from your legitimate criticisms of our pay, scope, and QOL.

Might have been the same guy for all I know. I don't remember his title, but he talked a lot about it. I won't go into it on this forum..

No, there isn't a limit.

During the PBS runs, you can't move anything within I think the last six days of the month (because PBS might award you something on Jan 1st, then there might be a conflict that PBS didn't know about).

Yeah, I just flew with one tester and he said it would probably be at least a year before we actually get tablets. Everyone else should have them by then.

The FAA guy I talked to about iPads said "you're CEO doesn't want Apple products."

So I don't doubt we won't have it for a year.

I doubt very much whether we'll get the Ipad. It's a nice platform, but there are other platforms that can do much more in terms of airline ops, and when the infrastructure is in place (internet pipeline on all DL aircraft, integrated with some of the aircraft systems), we'll probably see it in the cockpit. I heard recently that the McRib is costing us more than a total revision solution, so expect that to go away soon. At that point, having a V-file is really pretty redundant.

The investor conference today mentioned that DL expects to conclude the pilot negotiations by the end of 2012. I have said it here before, they don't want any loose ends going forward and I expect an early opener from the Company in the near future. Hopefully it is representative of the tens of thousands of pages of "suggestions" we've seen here.

If that's the case on the McRib, I would think that the Jepps would have to be changed out every 2 weeks. No McRib, where will the QRM go?
