Sooner or later something is going to go wrong on your surface and you're going to have to exchange it out for a loaner. They will send you a new one that you will completely have to reconfigure. I am not willing to risk having to swap out on a few minutes notice. I could post forever on the other issues. The Ipad simply is a far better EFB that works.
Delta often seems to want to do things bigger and better then others. In the end we wind up with a complex system with high failure rates. Our onboard entertainment system being a classic example. The surfaces are failing so fast Delta has run out of them!

If I had a suggestion to make it would be that I could put two Jepps up at one time on the split screen.
I just figured out that the standard calculator does C to F conversions, that's nice. Now only if it had a crosswind calculator. That'd be nice at times. I guess I could use the sin and cos function on the calculator....
Okay I tried the math on the scientific calculator and that was easy. Angle degrees + sin button x speed = crosswind and angle degrees + cos x speed equal headwind/tailwind. Yeah. I did math.

I'm trying to drop a spill over trip and getting capped reserve days message even thought they are all blue for this month. Next month's schedule is not out, but I thought it didn't matter anymore? I thought we fixed that glitch a while back?

I'm pretty sure all changes affecting spillover trips are on hold until next month's bids are finished processing.

There's probably no OE to be assigned to that LCP on that rotation (since you are only a day or two away.) Bummer. It would normally be assigned by now. But... stuff happens. Could show up at the last minute. If you swap for a commutable trip, do not check to see if an OE got assigned. Never look back.
...On the flip side, I have kept trips with no IOE on it, and when I signed in they had put training on the trip. Good luck.

You never know about OE trips for sure until you are released or check in. Once I was deadheading from DTW to NRT to give a Line Check the next day to SIN. I was sitting next to another DH pilot. Half way to NRT, he told me he was a reserve called out to cover the trip I was suppose to give the line check on as the CA had called in sick. Ended up deadheading back to DTW the next day.

The reality of the new swap language is that it doesn't do what you're trying to do. Although, I thought that's what it was supposed to do too.

Man. All the Detroit ER FO's must be full for the month because there is a sweet GRU trip available for pick up on the swap board. It's been there for a week and no ones picked it up yet. I would but I can't drop the trip I'm currently flying because of capped reserve days.

I think the OE planner hates me.
I always fly the one trip that didn't have an OE on it. The LCA's always tell me it's the only trip they have that didn't get an OE.
I once used my APD to drop a 4 day trip, the next day it had an OE on it......
Like he said, never look back.
