by all means congrats to those that got it (I was 18ish months myself) but I’ve got to wonder how long it will be til the last UNA who did not take a LOA before returning gets trained.

Sorry? If the entire page was IA's....I would support your argument. The only way what you said is reasonable is if you wanted to not discuss what pilots CHOOSE to do for them and their family via G's, but the possible ramifications on down stream scheduling flexibility due to tight staffing.
This movie is getting boring to watch. Over and over.

Nothing new archived in Crew Planning memos.
If you are not at Delta, or young, apply to FedEx. Delta is doubling down on outsourcing to the parasitic Joint Venture pilot groups; enabled by a "global production balance" in exchange for exiting Force Majure. The company will use the "others" to whipsaw us in negotiations.
If I had quit and accepted the call up from the FedEx pool I would be a super senior 76 pilot or a bottom third 777 Captain. Cannot hold the right seat of a 350 at Delta and will eventually retire as a mid seniority narrowbody Capt. When you consider DAL's optimization of domestic rotations the QOL isn't even close.
Sorry about the grumpy holiday post. Being a pilot is a good job. Being a pilot at FedEx is a better job than Delta. I'd still take Delta over American or SWA.

While I understand what you are saying, FEDEX and UPS were and are at the bottom of my list. Back side of the clock flying is by far the norm. You can avoid it with super seniority. That kind of flying is proven to be very hard on your body and take years off your life. At least that is what I have seen. They can have it.

Thats my understanding/feeling as well. Red eyes for your whole life, that’s better than Delta? I’ve heard their super senior daytime flying still reports at like 0330-0400 so you gotta get up for that at like 0200. I was thinking of going to FedEx around BK time in 2005. Glad I didn’t.
Used to work for a regional where we would occasionally spend the night on the airplane, or in the airport. Astonishing to write this, but the Delta schedules are actually worse, as are the reroute shannigans.
