If Joe meant 50 88's and did not include 15 MD90's total fleet is actually decreasing.

I guess there will be a displacement only bid out soon canceling a big chunk of the last bid! They actually stated just two weeks ago the bid covered 80% of next summers flying with another 20% still to be bid.

How many days off on average does a mid/junior seniority pilot (about 80 to 50 percent bid seniority) get at Delta?
Basically what's the average days worked vs. off. Im sure it varies greatly but on average. Thanks

Depending on days in the month, line value, and number of reserves it varies, but 13-15 are the possible reserve days off in a normal bid month. There is effectively no limit to number of reserve days in a row either, so you can put the off days in a single block without too much trouble. Reserve sometimes does go senior and sometimes the junior pilot in category will hold a line.

Application Question

I just realized I put in my application but do not meet all the requirements (long story having to do with my Canadian ATP). Is my application being looked at and should I un publish it or does it matter?
