Usually the offender while I'm commuting is the gate agent, not any of the crews. At times there will be a gate agent (all airlines, not just Delta) that is so consumed with an on-time that they have little time for jumpseaters.

Can someone clue me in as to how the pay protection works if you were bounced out of a category on a mandatory displacement (765 B to 7ER B). Thanks!

Hockey,
Here is how I handle it, and hope the majority of Delta capts. do the same. I don't leave with open jumpseats that can be filled. I let the gate agent know that as long as a flt attd. doesn't show that the Delta pilot(if not around) will sit in the cabin jumpseat. If they have a problem they can come down and speak with me. So far 100% have had no problem. My guess is you would comply also. I also carry extra yellow crew tags for our own pilots(out of uniform) and FAs and if overhead space is gone I run the bags down and get them on the other end. The Dci's have always been good to me. The only pilots that won't get on my jumpseat are Scabs.

You start getting paid on the date of your conversion, regardless of where you sit in the training stack. In my experience (with several MDs) you will be converted prior to training.
