Buddy of mine was waiting weeks as well…called them and found out the checks were done but apparently were never forwarded to Delta. They “fixed the glitch” while on the phone….he got Indoc invite from delta that very afternoon.
Best of luck to you!

Partially true.
One year at DL one of the highest paid pilots was a NYC 88B who made close to half a million. He commuted (from the midwest) and did a normal line's worth of flying a month.
LCA buddy bid, drop most or all of the month for full pay, GS 3 or 4 normal trips = triple pay.
There are other ways to game it and some of the 350 millionaires are commuters. You can even roll thunder on reserve as a commuter and even as a somewhat junior commuter to reserve by back loading the thunder instead of front loading it.
Commuting is extremely doable and the angst is 90% psychological and self imposed.

When you GS on reserve you are paid straight pay above guarantee and you get you day off back. True rolling thunder is when you bid all of your reserve days in the last half of the month. In the beginning of the month you get GS1. You days off are now returned to you on your first batch of reserve days. Then you get GS2 and again your reserve days are pushed back. As long as you keep GSing before you get to you let reserve days it keeps going on and on getting paid above guarantee hence “rolling thunder” bc you keep rolling your days off over your reserve days to keep getting paid above guarantee.
