I know forgottobid has them. If he doesnt see this maybe PM him. Word of warning though, you may cry when you see how much was lost.

Does anyone know what you are supposed to do with your vacation bid if you got awarded an AE on this last go round?

Do we bid in the 3rd round?

I'm staying in the same category, just a different base. Do I have to rebid all my vacation?

Well.. since we're phasing out flight kits, overnightbags? Now I know why we're going to airside! That way we can't put all our stickers on our flight kits anymore!

Ok. So, I don't bid for the new vacation until I get converted. Got it. I bet I get it all figured out the day before I retire. Thanks.

Isn't that part of the game? Figure it out before it changes again.

So the total pilot numbers have gone down, but the number of pilots in flying positions has gone up. We also have 82 new hires that have yet to cycle into active flying

Awesome! More flying with fewer pilots! Which side are you negotiating for? Sounds like a page out of management's wish list.

The best job protection is NOT no-furlough clauses not worth the paper they're written on. The best furlough protection are aircraft OPERATED by the mainline and FLOWN by Delta pilots, no matter the size. EVERY seat is worthwile, NOT just the ones you feel "are worth it". Every seat is worth it.

Where do we find such people?

And how about that MEC meeting where the representative to the BOD is selected? Who scheduled that meeting right before the term for the incoming reps? Wouldn't it make more sense to have a rep who will serve out a term coincident with the LEC members that select him/her?
