Re the backdoor method...maybe you need to prepare the battlefield by getting some booze in her first.
Everyone gets the Ligero access denied page... you just need to keep trying to get in there, sooner or later it will let you. Come on man, you don't get in the backdoor with Ms Delta without some serious commitment to repetitive attempts.

My philosophy exactly.

Only three displacements here. And contrary to many pilots, I actually plan on staying married. Not everyone is single or married to a stay at home mom that is willing to move whenever Delta decides to shift flying. Doesn't make us any less dedicated to the job though. Living in base is a choice - commuting often not.
Now one thing that kills me is there are 4 guys I have met the last couple of months that commute from SLC to SEA. Three guys could fly the same equipment in SLC as SEA and the other just did not want to be a 320 Capt anymore, so being a commuting 330 FO was a better life? I don't know their full life story, maybe not happy at home so that extra night or two away is great, but I hate that. I am about QOL and hate to commute, but do it with the hope of it being short term. Now if it continues to not be short term, this is not the only job out there. Mind you it is a good job, but not one I'm willing to lose QOL over.

You don't get to tell me who to put on my ignore list. I will make you happy, however, and move on with only visiting every once and awhile and let you guys have your anonymous gang, giving drive-bys to anyone who disagrees with you, and then flaming further when they don't take your anonymous crap. Let's see you man up and take it to the DALPA board.

As for a verified and indisputable fact, he is a cheesy, annoying, and sad-excuse-for-a news anchor. This from a Fox supporter (who will also watch any other news channel besides MSNBC because it's not a news channel).

Not sure if this has been reported here or not, but the Madden Anniversary Edition on Amazon ($100) includes the option for both DirecTV subscribers AND non-subscribers to get NFL ticket for free on their computer, tablet, or smart phone. FAQs here.

GG,
First off, I don't think we are too far apart. I do not - repeat, do not want a system that enables the senior guy to routinely take a month off if the junior guy is working his butt off.
I don't mind a system where the senior guy gets an easier month (RAW 15) and the junior guy gets an easy month (7 days working, bucket 2 from the above example).
Are you saying its not fair that the senior guy gets a very easy month and the junior guy only gets an easy month?
Secondly, I hope this will shortly become a mostly academic argument as continuous movement starts (after being stalled at the bottom half of the list for 12 years) and no one stays junior on reserve more than a month or two in the NB FO position, which is really the only positions system-wide where being junior is not a choice.
Scoop

Well the thing is for me, I live in a base (SEA) and I got pushed out the bottom and now commute again. I could move, but then I'd have to commute to my second job which is here in SEA. Mix in all the family and house stuff, it's not worth it to move for the short term (I hope it is short). So I commute! Hopefully in the next 5-7 years I will be able to drive to work for my last 5-7 years here at Big "D".
Now one thing that kills me is there are 4 guys I have met the last couple of months that commute from SLC to SEA. Three guys could fly the same equipment in SLC as SEA and the other just did not want to be a 320 Capt anymore, so being a commuting 330 FO was a better life?

CNN (while sometimes slanted) is a terrific customer of Delta Air Lines and part of the home team business community in Atlanta.
Mostly, I get my news from the British press.
