I believe by intercom he means hot mike for ICS. That is not available on any Delta aircraft.

The ER is the same as the 73, except the ER is a button so the rubberband won't work.

Baja.

So, back to my original question...is the travel arrangement the same for Indoc/training as for the interview? Will they positive space me to Indoc or do I have to buy my own ticket to ATL?

Positive space travel to/from YOUR HOME (they stressed that, no going to Cancun) is provided from getting you to day 1 of indoc through entire training, through your checkride. I believe you're on your own for IOE. Must have at least 48 hours off to use this benefit during training.

The part about to/from your home must be unique to an entry-level pilot. This is what the PWA provides (11 I. 1.):

A pilot will receive positive space coach on-line transportation to travel between the training location and any Company station before and after training and during each duty free period of 48 hours or more, if sales are authorized at the time of his attempted booking.

Go to your room.

Positive space during 2-day breaks in training?

I'm seriously going to have culture shock in the transition from B6 to DL. Entirely too many QOL benefits.

Another question that's probably already been asked: What's the availability of short-term crash pads for sim training in ATL? Are rough prices in the $200-250/mo?

Sort of. "They" won't, but you can.

As someone mentioned, you have to have a 48 hour break (which you almost always do once a week) and you make the positive space bookings yourself. There has to be a coach seat available at the time you book, so plan accordingly. If you change, be sure to delete the old one. They should walk you through it all during indoc, but there is so much to cover they don't spend a long time on any one thing.

Also, I'm not sure of the policy (if any) on getting back to the schoolhouse, but I'd recommend leaving yourself a backup flight if at all possible (only make one booking though). Yes you are positive space, but you don't want to be that guy frantically making the "I can't make it" phone calls on a Sunday night because you only gave yourself one flight. YMMV though.

Thanks for the info. Badgerned, as a sanity check on the spreadsheet, I am a Dec 17 interviewee and was told today that there are roughly 50 pilots ahead of me after taking into account everyone assigned to classes in April. They also said all April classes are full. They did not say how many classes there are in April.

PM sent as well, but is that 50 OTS ahead of you or 50 total poolies (including flows) ahead of you?

If the jacket wore just a little colder and fit better; I would wear it more. As it is, I sweat my B@lls off and no matter how many times I get it altered, it looks like a balloon.

I still wear my jacket every day and I have been retired for 18 months. My wife likes men in uniform!

50 OTS ahead of me left after counting all those in the April classes. HTBH I sent you a PM back.
