Nope, but there are 2 Delta guys in the 75/76 class that just finished.

For instance those two Delta guys are street CA's. They took the early retirement buyout from Delta a while back.

New Contract...

So, I've heard the new contract will be a big improvement with pay rates. Anyone have the 411 on work rules/scheduling? Also, what kind of vacation do new hires get currently?

Hey Floyd. The contract details are pretty tight lipped at the moment. Hopefully in the the near future a contract will show more prosperity than currently displayed. First year you get no vacation and second year you get 12 days.

Does anyone know if the flight time virus sitting in the hotel has improved? Last time I talked to them it was about 35 hours for a 20 day month.

Does that happen a lot? Are there any restrictions, or could the FO's be stuck indefinitely?

I'm sure a lot of things will change around here when the contract is finalized.

BigBus,

Nobody will be stuck as an FO indefinitely, unless a particular FO does not have the experience or performance to upgrade (you need both). We always try to upgrade in seniority order, but some FOs just are not ready yet. Putting them up for upgrade before they are ready knowing they will probably fail is not helpful for them or anyone else. When they are ready, they will upgrade. If there are not enough who are ready to go, they'll put in street captains.
