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

I don't think you have to tell them any earlier than the start of your SC. When your first flight is full and you have to use your backup that takes you into the 2 hour window (completely legit) you can't notify them as soon as you acknowledge the SC, which is usally the day before and you don't know at that time you need it.

That should be our current paint job. Although I'd replace the oxidized 70's paint colors with new glossy ones and bump the size of the company name a bit (and add Air Lines) and (sorry purists) dump the antiquated Snoopy nose. Pax don't want to feel like they're riding on a 50 year old airliner.

Red and Blue logo for wings and hat too.

As for having A321s - no need, we've got a boatload of B757s

I think it should be illegal to put A321 and B757 in the same sentence....

Sorry 80. :)

Ferd, not sure if you understood that correctly, so...

If you get a 1400 SC time, you can call scheduling and tell them that you are using your two hour commute, which means they will not be able to contact you during the first two hours of your SC, so in this case you don't actually have to be in SEA until 1600. But you will be expected to be able to report right away if they call you at 1600. I use it all the time...works great. Also, when you get two hours from the end of your short call, they will usually release you, if you call and use your sexy voice.

Done! Thanks for the explanation:cool:

For now. But they'll be retiring quicker than our pilots pretty soon. :cool:

Sure, that's the "plan" - all those 757s SAY they are going to retire at 28. But when Network sees how the economy is doing and the 757s look at their retirement package... well - you know how it turns out. ;)

Whatever it is, I just hope it fits on the tail. I'm over these idiotic Madison Avenue focus group driven oversized logos that only partially fit on the tail at an angle that everyone's using these days.

Stupid kids and their rock and roll music.

Couldn't even make it work with an RLL:mad: But, since I was "unblockable" I could have taken just the vacation line and then worked the open board (they were VERY specific that there would be no min guarantee). But I did the reserve line since there is NO open time anymore. Couldn't see giving up 30 something hours.........
