Thanks in advance.

No. It will drop the entire trip next month without pay. I learned this lesson the hard way.

Okay,

I'm all ears. Since T won't expound on LBP beyond saying he has run some numbers and that we don't make airplane purchase decisions, and since I have a bias against it due to several obvious problems which get compunded with any merger, growth, shrinkage scenario...

Convince me that LBP is a good idea.

AE is out via backdoor.
Go to crew resources, pull up the Mar20 bid award. Paste this into the appropriate spot in the URL as a replacement:

Advanced_Entitlements/Bids/Results/Bidawd130614

enjoy

And yes, I know Sinca won't be able to do this... :0

DELTA Expands Los Angeles ? San Francisco Bay Area Operation from Sep 2013 | Airline Route ? Worldwide Airline Route Updates

Just so people in Oakland don't feel left out you also get a increase in flights. However, as the red headed step-child your flights will be on CR7 and CR9's

Just think, if DAL In-flight would play ball there would be 3 jump seats available to DAL pilots on every one of those flights. Instead there will be 1.

I thought that years ago also, now I know I would be doing International till I hang up my spurs. Be careful with what you wish for.
I do think pay banding is in our future because of future training loads and that is a first step.

I'm afraid of 744s being replaced by A333s.

That's a win.

On another note, ATL 88b, only 30 guys were allowed min credit condition on PBS. It says because of Admin. Nothing like being forced to fly 90 hours (ALV+15)!

OMG... this was a total bloodbath, the worst AE I've seen for junior guys in years.

I moved backwards 11%! From solid line holder to not having a line for 5 of the last 12 months!
Literally the worst day for me re Delta for the last 5 years. Everything all the pro-TA crowd has spouted for the last year rings totally hollow right now.

That explains it.
