At least such stupidity is almost over for you. The opacity and lack of common sense at AFPC are staggering. Nice to get one last punitive rectal reaming on your way out.

With obvious and notable exceptions, by and large the military is an employment program for otherwise unemployable people. Case in point is the shoe clerk weenies you mention at AFPC. They wouldn't make it past lunch in HR or Crew Respurces at Big D.
And don't get me started on finance!

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming...

drop from today:
9 nyc 737
11 nyc 88
10 atl 717
10 nyc 717

It's been a long time since we've seen 717s to ATL...or much of anything to ATL for that matter. Cool

Thanks for the info. Do you know what the plug got?

I'm guessing the seat locks for the summer-off 717 bidders are finally expiring.

Ouch. I had a slightly different experience. Sorry for yours.

Are you talking about initial equipment locks out of training? How long are the locks at Delta?

No. I am referring to the pilots who realized they could get trained on the 717 in the summer of 2013 and then not fly at all for a few months because there were no airplanes on property. The DAL seat lock is normally 2 years, the new hire seat lock is 1 year. You can get out of a seat lock if a new category opens: an existing type goes to a new domicile or a new type arrives on property; or, if you are upgrading to a 1st time captain. As a side note, had the most recent TA been voted through new hires would have had a 2 year seat lock (with a few escape clauses). If I were a betting man I'd gamble that whenever TA-X is passed, it will have the same provision and pilots already on property probably won't spend any negotiating capital to make it go away.
