Thanks, it was a AE. So, does that mean I'm going to school in April? Would they have let me keep that vacation if I wasn't? All the rest of my vacation for later in the year still show.
Thanks again!

Did you have say three weeks and bid in all four vacation windows? You may have rebid one of them by mistake.

When are you slated to convert?

Strongly disagree.

My post never said anything like that. That's way out there in left field.
I think Moak cares about fellow pilots and our careers. He's a pilot first, but he's also a politician.

My point was that if he is a candidate for ALPA President, then he needs votes from people who have a far different agenda and different interests than the Delta pilots.
Given the current scope tensions, trying to vigorously represent the Delta pilots and simultaneously trying to curry favor with regional pilots is a conflict of interest.

Projected to convert in June. I had 4 weeks and bid in all four windows, the April vacation was the last one awarded. I don't mind losing the April vacation if I'm going to school but if not, I would rather take it.

More than likely you are going to be scheduled for training in April. Look for it to be posted in DBMS by 5 Mar. That's the deadline to post April training. When you bid the AE usually a submenu pops up and asks if you want to keep vacation or not if it conflicts with training on your new aircraft. If you keep it then the company can send someone junior to you to training ahead of you. Sounds like you said I don't need to keep it.

Just be aware that when you convert to the new aircraft, you lose all you current vacation bids and will have to rebid them all at once. If you are going to training in April it sounds like you will have either a May or June conversion date and will have to rebid any vacation. I cannot emphasize enough to put your rebids in as early as the system will let you. When you are in the tail end of training, the last thing you want to do is have to remember to rebid!!! Alot of people don't!! Good Luck!

If you are converting in June, you should be in training in April. That is more than likely why it is missing.

Interestingly, and while I agree that there is a problem with ALPA representing both "sides", I don't agree with your logic WRT Moak. If you were correct, no politician could hold an office, because he might run for a higher office that would put his old constituents in competition with a larger group. I.e. no governor could ever be president, no mayor or state rep could ever be governor, etc.

When Moak represents us, he needs to represent us well. If he doesn't, he needs to be canned. If he succesfully runs for higher office, then someone else needs to replace him that represents us. It's that simple.

If you don't think he's representing us well, make the case. Don't try to sway us, or mystify us, with the notion that a political animal shouldn't be allowed to have further aspirations. We all know these guys might run for something else. If that was such a problem, we never could even elect LEC officers.

Thanks Denny, I guess I'll find out for sure on Fri.
I will set up all kinds of reminders to re-bid the vacation, as I wasn't happy with any of them anyway and I don't think I can do any worse a second time around

hey guys,
any of you DAL South folks know how to move a reserve day in i crew? I remember it being discussed on here a month or so ago but haven't been able to find the post.

I may figure out this i crew eventually. thanks

It's under PCS and then choose the "leave" option. Once in there, chose the selection that says move X day or words to that effect.

There are a bunch of gotchas including not exceeding the number of x day blocks. Good luck.
