Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?
ID90 travel
Is there a such thing as space positive ID90 travel? My understanding is that it is space available/stby travel and the only way to travel space positive is to go the 'Fly confirmed for less' route or buy a full fare ticket on another airline.
Thanks.

If your wish is to reshape the legislative branch with far left liberals in every election, then the ALPA PAC is a great place to send your money.

The "new, improved" PAS appears to be the next phase in the "Delta Big Data Beatdown" campaign.
Are any other employee groups presented with this array of metrics?

How did you come up with that?
First, there is no category with an ALV of 80 hrs in March, unless they changed it (according to the bid packet I use). But if the ALV was 80 hrs, reserve guarantee would be 78 hrs (2 hrs less of ALV).
Second, you have 4 days vacation so there is 26 days of possible reserve days for March, which equates to 10 "X" days and 16 days of reserve. You are credited already with 13 hrs. If you fly zero to 65 hrs in March, you get the reserve guarantee of 78. If you fly over 65 hrs in March, you get paid on top of reserve guarantee.
Now a different game. You get a line. Vacation, while bidding, counts as time and credit (can only bid a line up to 87:30 and you have 13 hrs already credit). Once bidding is over, vacation is credit only now. So if you fly 70 hrs in March, your credit is 83 hrs.
Example (this happened to me in Nov): 2 weeks vacation (45:30 hrs credit) Bid a 3 day trip worth 26 hrs, so my Nov month was 71:30. After bidding was over, I dropped the 3 day trip and picked up a 10 day trip worth 62 hrs. Nov total was 107:30 (62 + 45:30)
Clear as mud?

Crewdawg,
The Bolded sentence above is incorrect. 78 is the guarantee before the vacation adjustment is taken into account. On reserve a week of vacation will raise your guarantee about 4-5 hours and two weeks of vacation will raise your guarantee about 8-10 hours.
In this case I put 4 days of vacation into the reserve calculator and the exact guarantee would be 80:36 or an increase of 2:36 above standard.
As far as no category having an ALV of 80 - I have no idea, I was just responding with the information the original poster provided.

We can argue about the reasons, but the fact remains that Delta pilots sick out at a rate way above the industry average.

What's United's average? I guess those numbers are readily available since we are being compared to them and American. Curious what their rate is...heck, I wonder where on our site it shows what our rate at Delta is. That must be easy to find since we are able to know what other airline rates are as well. I mean if it's a fact then we must have some data, right?

His logic is correct. You make above the reserve guarantee if you have vacation that month. There is a website run by a Delta guy that has a spreadsheet that can help you figure this out.
I do reserve in vacation months. Here is my info from last time I did reserve. I had 2 weeks of vacation in a 31 day month with a 72 hour reserve guarantee. The basics are the 14 days value based on the guarentee are replaced by the value of your 14 days of vacation. So in this example the 45:30 of vacation replaced the 32:30ish of reserve value. Net gain is 13:00 hours of pay for 85 hours of pay and you sit 9 days of reserve.
I can PM you the website if you would like to see it. It has a lot of helpful information in it.
