Find the link for the A position in your category. Click it. Go up to the address bar. Scroll over where it’s says, for example ATL320A and then delete the A and make it a B then hit enter.

Neat. There's really a backdoor for everything.

Since when are swaps denied in the month of August because schedules for September are not released?

I’ve had that happen before. They say it’s to make sure there’s no block/duty limit issues created. But aren’t you retiring in sept?

‘Yes……. Which makes me doubly ticked off. The trip I’m trying to swap into is over the same 3 days (Aug 24-26) and actually worth 5 minutes less.

I believe it’s all automated and not very sophisticated. This is why I’m not worried about fully automated airplanes at delta. There’s no way they’d ever invest in that kind of I.T.

I just spit out my adult beverage. LOL.

Suddenly, I want to tell all the kiddos and nieces/nephews to become airline pilots.

Because this is spot on.

I believe there is a cutoff to auto deny any swaps if the trip you are trying to get rid of touches any of the days within the end of the month. I don’t recall how many but I believe it’s 4-7 days prior they auto deny.

Leave it in, when the schedules are posted it will run.
