What I've stated isn't theory... that's cold hard math on what they can do. How much they will take advantage of it is yet to be seen, but it is available to them as a tool now thanks to that concession.

I never meant that they couldn't do it. I meant how much they utilize it is what's debatable.

Ferd, going for non sequitur post of the year. ...
FO Version
Captain version ?
What the heck has any of this got to do with Average Line Value and the fact Delta's min staffing model is going to be green slip heaven (if you're into that kind of thing)? I wouldn't get my hands dirty with any of them, but Jennifer Grey, pre rhinoplasty as a aerobatic pilot in Wind kinda caught my fancy as something I could get into.

The first real test of the recently added PWA language efficacy will be when it comes to how PWA 1.E.8 applies to the VA JV....
I will be the first to admit that I was underwhelmed that all we managed to secure is 75% of Delta's share of the revenue to be flown by Delta pilots.
After all the Transatlantic JV secures nearly 100% of Delta's revenue share to be flown by Delta pilots.
Yet Delta purchasing a 49% financial stake in Virgin Atlantic is something completely different from any JV agreement we've had in the past. Here's what it says in the PWA when it comes to Delta's revenue share of JV and how that relates to what percentage of flying will be performed by Delta pilots:
Delta pilots should fly 55.8% of all DAL/VA JV flying
(per PWA 1.E.8 75% share of Delta's 74.5% JV revenue share)
If our NC can use 1.E.8 to secure 55.8% of the Delta Virgin JV flying for Delta pilots it will be a huge win and a big increase in WB Europe flying.
Cheers

I'll bring Sec 23 d.2 up to the scheduler next time they assign me short call between ALV-2 and ALV. I'm not sure how closely they follow this or if the computer will allow them to do this. It seems I have to call them to confirm this, that it isn't necessarily automatic, and then they'll place FULL on my schedule for the remaining days as a reminder.

For those who use the Goodreader app as a supplement to their Air Locker pubs, it's working again using a different server. The Sugarsync server is no longer a free service, so our ipubs guru switched to the box server. Instructions are on www.ipubs.me. Username and password is published in the DALPA forums. I've found Goodreader to be much more user-friendly compared to Air Locker.

FTB, bid weekends off and then PD Wed. You will never fly but your pay takes a hit.
But hey we got a big pay raise in record time. Time value vs money.

Anyone who is bidding yellow slips during short months with lots of open time doesn't understand the system.

Okay, I'm asking this once a year but it's because I always just end up at McDonalds. If you're a cheapo but want good food, the best place to eat in DTW airport is...
