I love how they picked 3 legs, as if somehow someone is going to be able to use that extra leg. I'm going to take a trip with that extra leg they so generously give out and then call in to crew scheduling and tell them that I am stuck indefinitely in Europe until next year when the pass benefits reset and I get another 3 legs.

Couldnt you just CASS on AA, Continental, United, etc over seas and pay for the taxes? I'm sure they would put you in a seat anyway, considering most transatlantic flights always have spare room (esp in First, where nobody wants to pay those astronomical prices). What is the difference between doing this and getting your yearly roundtrip pass on Delta overseas? Is the annual overseas trip a guaranteed seat or something? Is that the difference? Forgive me, I'm trying to understand why you wouldn't be able to go to Europe on multiple occasions in one year (no jokes about scheduling please 
)

I never understood why DL is the only carrier to have 'travel days' for their employees..well, regional employees anyways..used to be for ready reserves now they receive unlimited. If anything, one would think parents would be the ones limited on transoceanic travel but the DCI employees who actually wear the uniform, represent DL's image and often work the ticket counter AND ramp for less pay would at least be allowed to enjoy their hard-earned travel benefits without the worry of using that one yearly transoceanic pass. It was the policy at one time if you exceeded the initial 3, you'd be not only penalized but subject to disciplinary action...

Do you think after the new contract passes that pinnacle will get better travel benifits? Is that part of the contract negotiations?
Also, what are some things that you think will come out of this new contract if passed? Will it be industry leading (regional wise)?

If you are an XJ furlough this is true, if you are a true "new hire" your DOH will be when you pass your checkride. The only significance you get with the first day of class is a seniority date for seniority purposes. This has been addressed in the seniority section while working towards a JCBA but currently old practice remains.

No and No... I've been told by people on the negotiating committee Pass Travel Bennies will have nothing to do with the contract...It is strictly up to Delta and the new Delta Connection Pilot Alliance...
