I usually tell Carl to grow up when he posts crap like this and now its your turn. Grow up. Buzz's comment was in bad taste too. Now you two need to kiss and make up....

Buzz, I am impressed with your resume and your published work! Glad you're part of the Delta team. I plan to read your book, and based on the 497 customer reviews, I think I'll enjoy your eyewitness accounts. I'm sure it will mirror my time in the Air Force while the Clinton's were in the White House.

Naw, he wasn't green slipping. He was on FPL.

It may, indeed, be in the company's best interests. It has not been in the best interests of DAL pilots.

I wouldn't expect an ATL-based guy to get that nor an ALPA/company apologist. Truth hurts.

Buzz, what is the scheduled completion of terminal 6, we used it the other night going to HND...I feel bad for the pax. One sign in the terminal said "if you will excuse our mess, we will excuse for oversized bag" kind of tacky.
Any chance you could use your influence we to get some signs down in ops to show us how to get to flight planing? Thx

Vacation Bidding

Can I bank vacation days to use them to cover future dropped reserve days/trips a few days at a time versus taking a week? Is the "bank" ever reset to zero, wiping out unused vacation?

Thanks,
Cubdrick

No, there is no vacation "bank" and you can't use vacation days to drop anything. That's what Personal drops or PB days are for.

Vacation days generally have to be bid with the vacation process or attached to other vacation weeks that you have already bid. If you don't bid your vacation days, the vacation bid process automatically bids for you.

Again, no. You will be assigned vacation based on an order in the PWA if you don't bid. You have to take your vacation (ie cannot sell it back, or fly during it). This is a good thing, as we pilots are our own worst enemy and would see many guys doing this, resulting in less bodies needed.

Dal w-2

What's the best way to get our 2011 W-2? I went through employee self-service, selected "get my tax form" and it looks like I will be charged $5.00 to get my own W-2? Someone please tell me I'm wrong.

Thanks in advance,
Cubdrick
