If it's new to you, it will be initial qual. Everything you need to know is in the FOM and the military leave guide on deltanet. Cheers and hurry back home safe.

I have re-read the mil guide and its quite helpful WRT to benefits and timing your return. As for training my gameplan is to call CPO and training training folks about 6 weeks out to sched requal training. I think timing it to return in the last half of the month is ideal for pay purposes since you will get your advance flight pay for the next month. I will try and overlap that with the leave accrued from mil duties to minimize the trough in pay between jobs.

I hope I'm reading both USERRA and the mil leave guide correctly...this is my first time out as well.

P.S. A good friend is a Delta pilot, and Mgt was pressuring him….until the law was presented to them.

New Hire Seat Lock vs. Return from MLOA
Thread Bump to see if anyone knows:
1. I'm returning from 10 months of mil leave this summer before my original new hire seat lock (24 months) would have expired. Can I return to a new category? Or will my original seat lock prevent that?
2. If I'm going to a new category, would DAL send me to SRQ for my original category (followed by the line) until I can begin initial qual on the new category? Curious if anyone knows stories of this happening.

2. The only scenario would be left seat upgrade. If you have the hours you will go into training for the seat. If not, you will go back to your old seat until you get the hours.

1. You still have your seat lock. You can always bid captain. But then you need to have the hours to upgrade.

correct, that is the easiest way to look at it. Thanks for the assist. I have done it a bunch and you learn something new about the process every time. Vacation being the big one I learned about last time.
