Not when you are in a tight block for refueling.

Not a good sign they are still advertising LOA. I guess all the guys picking up extra hours and ALV + 15 will push us another couple years without hiring. Good times.

Some of those have to be at straight pay.

Either that or his old lady is driving him nuts. Quite possible that he has no commitments outside of flying and decided to work 22-25 days this month and credit 120 plus. Whatever he did delta appreciates his commitment to always answer his phone!

LOA's mostly ATL
765B .. 2
330A .. 2
73NA .. 4
73NB .. 2

DTW
330A .. 2
330B .. 2

SEA
330A .. 1
330B .. 3

NYC
765B .. 1
7ERB .. 2
73NB .. 2

... and of course anyone dumb enough to take a LOA on a 717 which isn't here is welcome to apply.

My guess is they will ensure the MD (meaning Douglas, not displacement, although they are synonyms) training pipes are full.

At least we are keeping a few crews employed doing charters for blown up Bahamian flag carriers. Last night while enjoying Star Trek I quipped to my wife ... "I've seen worse on a cruise ship this year"

But no different then when a car dealer calls you and says hey are you interested in replacing your car because I just happen to have had a guy in here today looking for a car just like yours.

A three way. But you have to be careful in a three way, I mean what if... hanging curveball here... one of the two "sees" each other?

Today one of our brothers flew his final flight West. NYC 765 FO Thomas "Tuck" Morrison was escorted home from LHR to be laid to rest. Tailwinds Sir. RIP.

He passed away on his layover of natural causes according to our council 20 update. Incredibly sad. I hope he passed very peacefully, and it sounds like he did.
