Elvis,welcome to Atlanta.

WRONG! According to DALPA scheduling you cannot adjust each individual slip. I thought you could but.......a GS went out today that I thought I had a whiteslip in for but it turns out I didn't because of my standing qualifiers. I changed them on the menu following the whiteslip entry so I should have gotten the trip via whiteslip but nooooooooo! According to DALPA scheduling (I called the MEC) that menu is, essentially, a view only even though you can "change" things.

To change your standing qualifiers you have to do it from the main PCS menu, not the one following each individual slip.....

I guessed around 8200 on earlier post.... Looks like I slid one seat on ATL320B. Most everyone stayed away from the short bus in ATL, most likely because of the small catagory and the wild swings in the trip construction.

I think we all look forward to the day where we actaully start advancing on an "Advance Entitlement". Seems like were all getting scattered around the system, but not really moving anywhere. Then there's the catagories like Buzz's beloved LAX73n that have gone from Mexico flying and pretty good transcons at it's inception in 2008 to the redeye express. Section One in the Joint Contract allowing the Alaska flying has put a big cutout on our West Coast flying, just look at our Delta Sky Magazine route map (looks like an old Western route map).... all those green lines reaching across the country and into Mexico.

Section One has kicked our A--, top to bottom!

I got displaced from MSP MD-88B to ATL MD-88B...I was expecting NYC MD-88B.

Ah..i think i am following you now. Are they saying that the standing qualifiers override whatever you put on each white slip? I don't put in standing qualifiers. I only put individual qualifiers for each slip.

Thanks dude. I thought about moving to Chattanooga, but my wife's allergies couldn't handle it.

Hi Denny,

Not to argue with a lawyer of such high standing, BUT, that is NOT what the guidance in the PCS User Manual says.

In the Pilot Change Schedule Handbook, which is contained in the DALPA CA Bulletin 09-12, it clearly says that you can input up to 16 preferences, each with unique standing qualifer parameters (page 1050 in this document).

Further, on page 1061 of that same document "How do I add or update my Standing Qualifers" (starts on page 1060), it confirms that you will have the opportunity to adjust your standing qualifiers for each individual request.

When you entered your W/S request, and then modified your preference qualifiers at the end of the process (for date range requests only), you should have gotten the message "qualifers have been adjusted for this preference".

According to the CA, what you were told was incorrect. I'd call back and get a hold of someone else.
