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

Now I know why the road to the employee lot in DTW is called Eureka Road. If your car makes it to the parking lot without getting swallowed whole in a pot hole then:

EUREKA!!

Possibly, but will UCAL even try for a completely revamped SWA+ contract, or will they be pressured to give an extension for 5% COLAs for a few years and some stock equity just to get the deal done? I think that's far more likely but we'll see. American was supposed to have a home run FedEx+ contract by last September and that didn't exactly pan out. I'm not too optimistic for a whole lot of piggybacking for this round. Except, of course, SWA plus reasonable premiums and scope. That's a given. :cool:

When you check your schedule via the app, does it register with the company that you've checked your schedule?

Yes - it accesses DBMS which would record each time you log in.

Hey, I've never checked this before... If you check the VRU on your phone for "next rotation or training activity", does that time/date show up on your schedule in DBMS as having checked it then?

Schedule question. Line holder in Dec. Picked up a 5 day(W slip) Dec.31st thru Jan. 4th. I had reserve days Jan 1-3. Did I just screw myself out of an X day or do I get it back later in Jan?

Call scheduling and have them move your x-days. They will do it, its not automatic.

It does not show up on your schedule but it logged by the computer. Checked is different than "viewed." Persnickety lawyers. :rolleyes:

Can we get ALPA to hire some of those to help us (not us and DCI....just US)?

Why should we need to wonder "if" he has any intestinal fortitude?

Do you mean to say it's possible that our chairman might not have it? The fact that there's any doubt whatever at this stage is pathetic...and don't think the company doesn't know it.

Time for another bargaining agent.
