Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

Funny that you say that Carl. I know of at least one ALPA committee doing just that. Now that SOC is over, and the integration is completed, they are doing an in-depth study of current and previous practices under both CBAs to develop a list of proposed contractual changes to present at the appropriate time.
Which committee is doing that work?
Thanks

I have a reserve question. I have been on it most of my short career at Delta, but what happened yesterday kinda shocked me. I was on an X day to finish January on the 30th and started Feb month on the 31st with an on call day. At 4 AM they called and told me I was on short call starting at 5. I was a little shocked thinking I was supposed to get 10 hrs notice before going on short call.
I think they were just cleaning up the day shift's mess. Your situation was different than mine though. I also learned a reserve lesson the hard way. I was on long call yesterday, and scheduling called me at 1100 to give me SC starting at 0300 today. They put it on my line but didn't notify me for it (I talked to them, they didn't leave a message). They called me at 0200 to notify me for my 0300 SC. It took me back to my freight flying days. Was that my pager? Get a defibrilator to restart my heart. So, from now on, I'll ask if they show me notified or I'll just check icrew so they don't wake me up again. I couldn't go back to sleep for an hour.
I had a question about this but I think ACL cleared it up. I check my schedule at 1501 on my last nonfly day, and as far as I'm concerned, I've fulfilled my obligation for anything they have for me the next day. After that, I don't have to answer the phone or check my schedule again. Do I understand that correctly?

Yes you do.
Glad I'm not the only one to experience these short call shenanigans, WARNING, if they tell you "don't worry we don't have an assignment for you" then you need to check ASAP. ... when called to be "reminded" of a SC assignment that didn't exist, I checked and sure enough, there's a trip sitting there with usually < two hours to report from the start of reserve.
Buddy of mine just got a "trip failure" on one of these deals.
As ACL says, print your schedule daily to a PDF file and over write the file daily. It is the only way to protect yourself from "creativity" that would make a scheduler at Colgan giggle like a schoolgirl.

There is a new thread for scheduling questions.

You still go on long call at 12:01 AM.
That 1501 schedule check only means they don't have anything for you that reports before noon.
Edit: I see Unclesam has already said this.

Thanks to those that are engaging those four topics in one of those four threads. I hope that leads to a little more focused debate, a little less flamethrowing. If anything, maybe we just torch a little thread, and leave the cheerleaders and kittens alone.

They can recreate the exact sequence of events.
If you really think they stuck something on your schedule in violation of the notification requirements, call the union.

There is no advantage to dragging the operation to a stop. No upside benefit, lots of downside risk.
