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

Any reserve folks seen the new "Reserve Availability List" format now available in iCrew? You can select any calendar day in the future and the page format associated with the new rules that take effect next month has LOTS of new information shown.

Just checked it for the month of February. I was worried it would be difficult to determine who is senior/junior. I like the new format. Just hope Crew Skeds updates it and makes it easier to determine who is still on call.

Thanks for posting.

It is a welcomed change, another improvement/modernization. Now if there was a way to do more stuff on one page without as much clicking between menus with one specific parameter...

UPDATE: Played more with the new layout, HUGE IMPROVEMENT.

Everyone is gone, must be off looking at vortex generators...

23 of AMRs 757 were delivered 2001 and 2002.

I would imagine those leases are mostly the original leases and relatively expensive.
Some of those 757-223s were part of the first tranche of rejected leases (N177AN is a 2002 delivery)

Cheers

One question about the new format. Does anybody know whether the reserves available will be a real depiction? Will it still show a guy that returns at 0500 as being "available" If not, it is still pretty useless...

Johnso, it's not really that bad. I heard every line in the book about how loud the cockpit is, in the end I went back to a Plantronics earpiece. The newer 737's with the VG on the nose are as quiet as a 320 with it's hurricane force recirculation fans. As far as the size of the cockpit, PITFA small... I can't wait until the airside manuals go away and we actually have a place beside us for stuff. Being up there for 5 hours....

Only 12 737s have the VG's. The 2 new 800s and the 10 700s. That made a otherwise piece of junk cockpit a tad more tolerable.

I'm not saying I know how the trade will unfold, but using the numbers in the post you were responding to, I wouldn't shed a tear over a transaction that yields 60 new mainline airframes.

You need a better understanding of the situation.... The 739s are replacing 757s, 767s (yep), and some A320s. They are not slated to be growth aircraft.

New reserve availability list is a HUGE improvement and long overdue. I always thought the old list, not being able to see more than 1 day in advance was a real pain. iCrew just needs to be fixed so it doesn't use 1/2 my screen. So many of the functions should be able to use the whole browser instead of fwd/back buttons. Old technology, I know.

It reduces cockpit volume to a loud recirc fan 757 or A320... The VGs are required in yurop due to the cockpit volume of the non modded 737.

Big words? Big profits, so it better have BIG gains. 4000+ pilots agree, and more will join if disappointed. Please don't ask what "dissapointed" means. Show us the MONEY or they will get bumped. Good enough?
