Bingo, that is why the Alv15 is not going to have a major impact. Most guys flew those trips anyway. Not to mention that the manning formula is unchanged from the prior contract.

Oh, even better, the Online Cafe, or whatever it's called. Good eats. Crew menu too.

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.

LOL, greate quote from Fletch ;-)
That remains to be seen, per the PWA 1.e.8. we should be...
Delta currently flies a fraction of what Virgin Atlantic flies between the US and Britain.
Having Delta pilots fly even just half of all DAL/VA JV flying would be a huge increase on Delta pilots part...
The difficult equation is whether DAL keeps the US Britain flying in the current transatlantic JV or establishes a new JV and breaks out that flying from the existing Transatlantic JV with AF/KLM/AZ.
Each of these scenarios will require a reset of the EASK balance in the current AF/KLM/AZ JV.
That's why it's important to understand that right now Delta is well below the goal of 50% and even well below the lowest permissible limit of 48.5%...
Cheers

I've always liked the "Online Cafe". They have an aircrew menu that's a good amount of food for about $7. Their stir-fry is really good.

If you're at the north end, the boars head has good soups, or you can do Taco Bell. South end, hungry howies or the "stand up" national coney. If you're near the middle, the "sit down" national coney is good, especially at breakfast. They give a crew discount. If you have some time to kill and like sushi, there is a pretty good sushi place about halfway toward the south end.

Hey FTB,
I can turn you on to every imaginable dining/drinking establishment in and around Livonia if you're interested. That's my next book..."Livonia By Night."
