Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

Well, that's their prerogative. I'm fine with that. A reserve guy in another base didn't get used and was paid to stay home. GS's are such a wild card, especially in the smaller bases. I don't have a problem with guys picking up whites. It's the way our system is structured, for better or worse.
The real abuse continues to be "Swap with Friends." That's a horrible idea.

A green slip does not do any good if you have not met the trigger. If the senior guy drops to 40 hours, then the GS would be straight pay. He could not get a his "true" GS until all below him have a chance. So they hold off on getting the first one when they get back up to the GS trigger.

Maybe he has a generic open white slip and when a trip opens up that meets his paramaters then he is awarded it. Not everyone sits and monitors reserve coverage and out going trips 24/7. I'm guessing he has a life.

So here's the deal, I came off short call at 1730 today and was to start short call again at 0330 tomorrow. I get a call from scheduling at 1822 giving me a "heads up" on my rotation tomorrow which reports at 0500. She tried to make it sound like she was doing me a solid by calling me then instead of 0330. How legit is this? I didn't get 12 hours notice yet Now I'm expected to make report time which She knows I wouldn't have made if called at 0330. I've been on mil leave for over a year and don't remember this tactic.

You were under no obligation to answer the phone at 1822, and had you not, they would of called at 0500. At which point you could of said, "oh, I can't make that" then they would say, "Can you make a 0600 departure?" (just from my experience) and you could of discussed time to get to the airport then.

Speaking of hawking the computer, I think ShyGuy may have posted. Go get him!
