They have 14 years to decide now, based on certain things... The 10 year cut off date was modified slightly after the merger-


<<<On a totally different topic, but the 10 year mark is nearing for furloughed pilots to return to mother DAL. Any guess as to how many of the 243 that are still on bypass will actually return. This could have a big impact as to when we may actually hire off the street again.

Thoughts?>>>

Piggybacking on Amish Pilot, I have vacation at the end of summer I would like to move up. I've looked at the contract and with my public school edumacation, couldn't quite answer my own question. How do I submit a move up bid and when does it have to be submitted. Do I have to move the entire block (over 2 weeks) or can a portion of it be moved (1 week block)? I would do whatever would make it the most likely to move any or all of it to a earlier time. It starts 28 Aug so it cuts across Aug and Sep. Thanks in advance for any help.

7. A pilot who has bypassed recall will be subject to the following:
a. he will be ineligible to receive furlough pay,
b. he may only return to duty:
1) in conjunction with a subsequent recall or new hire class, and
2) if he has notified the Company in writing of his desire to accept recall at least 30
days in advance of the class date on which he wishes to return.
Note one: The Company is not required to recall pilots in numbers greater than it
deems necessary in a new-hire or recall class.
Note two: If there are more pilots who have bypassed recall that seek to return to
duty than the Company has determined is required, such pilots will be returned to
duty, in seniority order and prior to any new hire, in conjunction with Company
scheduled new hire or recall classes,
and
c. his employment will be terminated if he does not return to duty within ten years from
his date of furlough.

I did this multiple times this year, you want to get in asap and I'm not sure when they run it but it looks like its monthly once lines are awarded or on the first day of the month. Not sure.

As someone else mentioned, think it was Scambo, the incendiary grenades are used for quick disposal of classified material.

They wouldn't have used "Stealth Technologies" (the assumed reason for the looks of the modified tail rotor section) to raid a Third World terrorist compound anyway. (Ask any of the 330 guys who do the AMS - BOM flights. The radar in that region is so limited, a military spec. ops unit could've probably brought a marching band in with them and the Pakistani military wouldn't have known til after the Indi government told them so.)

The picture looks to me like the upper rotor mast of an MH-6 "Littlebird", also used by the 160th SOAR. (FTB, that's the pic I was attempting to post.)

I've only flown Blackhawks in my previous life for eight years in the Army, so don't take my word for it, but it isn't the cowling of a "highly modified H-60 tail rotor", and there is no "IR signature to mask" on the tail rotor gearbox when you have two 701C 1600+hp engines blasting hot air from the exhaust, only feet in front of the tail rotor/tail boom section.

Fly safe,

Sorry FTB,

Those pics are Classified TS. Our buddy, ol' pal, Bob Gates won't release those for quite some time. Actually surprised at the fact they even released the "team" (SEAL Team Six) that executed the mission.

Fly safe,

It is not only unfair that the BOG layover went to the Fluff, but that it is now a long layover that arrives at a reasonable time...
