Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?
Any contract warriors know what recourse one has when a pot-swap request is awarded to a junior pilot in category? Had my request in, and had a deny reason stating that the rotation was not in open time although it was awarded to someone junior 2 hours after my request was put in... Thanks for any help!

Had that happen before and ALPA scheduling basically said "tough luck". Apparently when they run pcs the reserve grid changes with each transaction. So in your case it could have dropped below coverage for your attempted swap and then moved on, if it works for someone else later it won't loop back and look at your request again it will just award to the first legal one it can. This needs to be addressed in C2019 among other things.

If it's neither of these, then call scheduling and if they dont give you a satisfactory answer (talk to supervisor as well) then call ALPA.
Good luck

Thanks for the answer guys- the trip was awarded to a junior pilot on a pot swap 1.5 hrs after my request was submitted. It was in open time and not a Q trip. No conflicting min reserve days. I’ll give CS a call this morning and see what they say...... thx
