Also, when they get held back then return for a class can they exercise their seniority to bid a higher paying a/c if they can hold it. Or, do they have to keep what they got in the initial class?

NewK,

Even though they won't be physically present in the class I think they'll get a seniority number. When they do finally go to class I'm sure they'll get 1st pick of what's available for that class.

At NWA many just went straight to the 320, but we did have the APA system and most of us 07/08 hires held the 320 before we got done with DC9 initial.

Its been awhile, but it was just called aircraft assignment, but that was in B29 days. Must be all those great ideas that come out of PME. Thanks

They are picking from the class drop I just posted. A letter was sent to them earlier this week.

So, they keep those spots even though in a later class they will be the senior dudes/dudets?

Ie. they are frozen on that aircraft?

The letter didnt mention that to my knowledge. Ill try and find out. I would think they would have the same rights as any other delta pilot?

I think what he's asking is, say in the class those Mesaba/Compass guys are actually in (in 3 months) have different assignements. Can they pick from those?

I'm not being clear - here's an example: this class has no 7ER slots. So the Mesaba/Compass can't pick that. But, lets say in 3 months the class they show up for DOES have 7ER slots. Can they bid those? Or are they stuck with what they picked earlier?

Here's a question - An AE comes out between their "phantom" class and real class date. Can the Mesaba/Compass guys bid that and get awarded something from that?

Is anybody else in the Sept 6th recall class? If so, have you gotten your packet of info yet? Or frankly any hard info yet?

Thanks Johnson. Pretty nice to have some movement in the right direction, isn't it?
