About showing up without a current medical: VERY BAD IDEA

If you're trying to save a few bucks (a noble pilot manuever by the way) it probably will not work. Delta automatically pays a set fee into your paycheck in the month your medical expires. Since you're not in the system until you show up for work my guess is you would not get the payment until your next expiration month.

Remember you are on probation. One negative may not get you fired but they add up and right now there are plenty of people out there that would love to have your job.

Totally agree. Why would one risk a job a Big D to save 80 bucks on a medical? How much did your interview suit cost? How about the money spent going to the interview? Between uniforms, interview, room and board in training, etc it probably cost 5 grand to get started at a legacy. Your medical is just as important as the uniforms you wear, luggage, headset and the rest of the package.

Just my opinion

In a pervious post someone mentioned that DAL might be having a Job Fair in lieu of going to AirInc. Anyone have any info or an answer from the "school house"?

Marty!

Actually, don't the regs still say 'on your person' (which means a pocket, and not luggage)?

I always assumed that it was to save them from running dental records when sifting through the wreckage. Of course, I carry enough gas to make the point moot...

D e l e t e d - off topic

Why would there be 500 numbers between two individuals in the same class at DAL?

I';ve been at Delta for 18 years and I can't anwser that question. My class had their numbers spread out as well, the pioit with the lowest seniority number had the lowest employee number.

Pilots one year senior to me have employee numbers 3 times higher.

Well, now it makes sense....NOT:D. Oh, well, I got a very cool number that I am very happy with and very easy to remember. I just wonder if the list we received by e-mail today means anything as far as where we are seniority wise in the class, do you have any idea?

I would think that the pilot with the lowest number is the most senior. That's how its gone in the past.

The email list is in Seniority order. It goes from a 9999 guy at most senior to 0000 least senior. In regards to the employee number issue, some people in your class with oddball numbers might me former employees or interns. Good luck!
