@ Thanks Ted

@SWA pilot.
Whatever your decision might be, please never crush the bridge back to SWA. Who knows, if things don´t work out at DLA, for whatever reason and you left on good terms, you could still go back to SWA.
Are you able to ask SWA for an unpaid leave of 12 to 18 months?

Isn´t Georgia a "Fire at will" state?
Just wondering, how this could affect a pilot´s employment.

Delta pilots are unionized, so the answer is that it doesn't.

You can’t have two airline jobs at the same time. Delta won’t allow it, also pretty sure SW is the same. I also believe you sign a paper at Delta resigning to any other company seniority.

It’s not supposed to happen but has on many occasions. Air National guard technicians were not supposed to be able to take mil leave and remain on the Delta list yet it happened. I know one individual who was hired and worked for a major airline for 6 months before he separated from active duty. Things slip through the cracks all the time.

Interesting that Delta is happy to let their new Scope guy be on their payroll and ALPA's as the two paychecks overlap for a bit.

It's technically a fireable offense for pilots trying to do something similar with inactive duty...

Lol right. I'm sure they didn't mind all those ANG guys going on technician status when they were out on furlough either...

There would be zero wrong with that. Not sure I get the point.

Delta won't allow military members to receive military pay on any calendar day for which they are also receiving pay from Delta. I know you consistently defend this anti-military discrimination (there are no such restrictions on any non-flying civilian work), but that doesn't make it proper.

Because they're selective in what is "right" or "wrong" to them. I was told point blank by a management pilot (who had A LOT to do with the MLOA office), that I could not work a pay card at the Guard after being released at noon on the last day of reserve.
