Thanks for the update. I've been checking and I see they updated it with the 2016 office. Finally got an update for Office 2011.

I've never seen/experienced the '24 after' restriction before but I have had a couple other scenarios with DH seat selection. It depends on what 'class' ticket is used (M-class, Y-class, etc.), and how full the flight is when the DH is booked.

I've had a mid-rotation DH as a line holder (trip built previous month) where any available coach seat (including Econ Comfort) was selectable when I added my name to the record locator. I've also had DHs on reserve-call-out rotations where the flight was overbooked/full and it wouldn't allow me to change from my assigned, middle-of-three, steerage class seat.

In most cases, when you check in (24hrs), regardless of which 'class' ticket they used, if there is a E.C. or exit-row seat available, you should be able to select it. You can also 'request upgrade' at the same time; but don't count on the first class on any domestic flights though -- Medallions win out over employees.

As a DH pilot, after adding your name to your PNR, you should be able to select/change to any regular coach seat (not comfort+) that shows available at any time on delta.com. 24 hours prior to departure additional inventory seats are released and you may see that more coach seats are now available to select. In addition, available comfort+ seats are also released 24 hours prior and you may now select one of those for free.

As departure time approaches keep checking for comfort+ availability, particularly if there are first class seats showing available because medallion customers that get upgraded to first class tend to be holding comfort+ seats that now become available to you! Don't wait too long because an hour prior to departure you cannot select/change seats online. Within an hour of departure you *might* be able to ask an agent to switch you to a comfort+ if you see that there is one available, before they start assigning the non revs.

Of course you may never select a FC seat but you may use delta.com to get on the upgrade list for FC ... behind a gazillion medallions of course. But at least you will be PSUP so you are ahead of all the S2s and S3s.

Way off topic here, but I'm looking for info on where I might be able to watch the upcoming Rugby World Cup Final match.

I've been trying to keep up with it but in the States there's almost zero news about Rugby. When I googled it, the schedule said it's being played in London, 4pm local (GMT), Oct.31, which would make it noon in the ATL.

I'll be on a trip at that time, out in the middle of the Pacific going from LAX to SYD.

I might try to catch it on You Tube (or is there some better Rugby site?) when I land in SYD later that day.

If it were just one day later, I'd be watching it in a bar in Sydney!

The Aussies are playing New Zealand for a rematch of the 2011 finals. Should be a great game, I just hope I can find it somewhere.

If you know of a good internet site to find the replay of the match, let me know. Thanks in advance.

The other Harwood made an ass of himself, sheesh.

BUT...have you heard about the newest non-rev killer:

SDSB?

That is the new HK, the 'Same Day Stand By' ticket holder.

They are the ones who buy the cheapest fare, on the latest (cheapest) flight, but show up early to the airport and Stand By for an earlier flight, the one you thought was Wide Open. They get on right after all the HK's, and ahead of YOU!

Two disasters this year came from the Harwoods...

Looks like no more ATL-DXB. Not sure why, that thing was stuffed to the gills every time I flew to/from Afghanistan.

Good morning,

I finally got the Delta Fix it email, after having my app in for 3 years. What's the average time frame to hear anything further if they decide to bring you for an interview? Thanks.

I applied Oct '14, got a "fix it" 6-8 weeks later, was called in March for a LATE April interview. Check out the Poolie Thread for more gouge on timelines etc.

Good Luck.
