Yes, but that date is a moving target until you are in class. My FEB training for a MAR conversion (2016 MOAB) was finally put on my schedule in MAY, then JUN and actually happened in JUL/AUG.

I actually admire the efficiency of the future business plan but as a pilot group we have to realize the consequences and not make excuses or rationalize this as beneficial to the unionized pilots. We will eventually be only a fraction of the pilots flying for the Delta brand. Hello whipsaw. It’s already happened at the regional level. Don’t think it can’t happen here.

It’s not conspiracy theory, it’s actually a great business decision and that’s the plan. Take control of more capacity without adding any. It’s much easier to limit Delta’s growth than the subsidiary which has to answer to the other half of their shareholders.

I was passed over for a GS. Does sick time count towards FAR flight time for the purposes of GS legality? Seem to remember that change in the last contract.

Yep, sick trips count in your FAR calculations for GS and WS for the first time around the list. After one time through the fallout list you’re back to normal.

If you call in sick, and the trip you would otherwise have flown WOULD HAVE made you ineligible or illegal for a GS, you go behind the others. It's not for the whole month. It doesn't penalize you for sicking out, it just doesn't allow you to use sick to enhance access to GS flying.
