I haven't heard anything in the school house about ATL yet, but I will keep my ears open, and will share with everyone if I do.

Went to Chengdu once for a trade show. This city is known for its spicy food. Most of the local Chinese food is make you sweat hot. Nice city overall and only a couple hours by air from Shanghai.

Is it just me or has this website been blanking out for long stretches a lot lately?

BTW Jesse, spot on post, very L&G appropriate.

Chuck,

Had something similar happen a while ago. Answer is "no" you don't get an entire day paid-back to you.

The schedulers will do something lame (contractually legal) like giving you an extra hour or so "off" on your next reserve day. So instead of being available for reserve at midnight you won't be available for reserve until 0100 (or 0200, or something). I forget the specifics but it's not much of a good deal for payback since you were flown into an X day.

Hope this helps. Ain't reserve a blast?

Cheers

No worries, no offense taken. While a good portion of that 10K is over my head, I did see the 21% number is limited to DCI only. I am not saying that manipulation of the numbers is occurring, but I see how the numbers could be very easily massaged if it would help managements position going into negotiations. I think that management and the number crunchers do a good job insuring the best results for the company, but those may not align with what is best for our pilot group.

Thanks....it's not easy these days!

Anyone want PIC time flying Delta pax?
 

Thanks to our rapid expansion at LGA & United outsourcing, GoJets is having to hire Captains off the street. Terrific for Teamster's members, those who did not complete High School, and those with "interesting" criminal background checks. If you've got 4,500 hauling skydivers, or just penciled in a log book, and the ability to fog a mirror, Delta has a job for you! Delta's network guy described GoJets as the "best of the worst."

So anyone wanting information about this terrific opportunity flying Delta passengers, here's the place for the deets:

Aero Crew Solutions - Pilot Job Fair

Oh' and GoJets pays 10% more than Delta mainline pays new hires with much lower health care costs. Wonderful furlough opportunity for those who just love flying jets in Delta colors.

Damned if this doesn't make me want to tell my mother, "... if you want to see your grandkids, you're going to have to fly to Dubai."
