How do you get notified that your fleet has officially changed over to ship sets and you don't have to bring your flight kit's to work with you anymore?
You have to find a pilot that you know is on the 9 and if they're smiling, they have ship sets.

I first heard that all 737s had been completed when the Chief Line Check Pilot put a blurb on the 737 fleet page of DeltaNet. A couple days later it came out both as a paper bulletin in my v-file and an electronic bulletin on DBMS. They got it done early and actually made it official a few days before their target date.
They sent out a very useful summary of how to read the 3 colored expiration stickers on the flight kits, how to maintain your McRib, etc. etc.

My opinion is that if it has wings, DAL pilots should be flying it. Whether it is coded, branded, or market in any way shape or form, DAL seniority listed pilots should be flying it. The caveat is that we need to be realistic about market rates and take the flying when we can and then go from there. We have a hold to dig out of. The first step is making the decision to partake in the endeavor.

Looks like two very different, but legitimate ways to verify the conversion is complete.

Pinnacle, Mesaba, and Colgan as of today are switching to the iPad. You guys will probably get them too since they sync with crew scheduling to let them know where you are at all the time.

Hey New

I don't know if you're subscribing to the flight ops emails, Trim Tabs, etc, but that's where I get 99% of my info before anything is officially released through Vol 1 bulletins, flight bulletins, etc. Some times its too much input but you can normally glean quite a bit of good stuff out and flush the rest.

So we weren't thrown under the bus but the bus was picked up and we were told to lay down under it.

Carl, don't say duh yet, this is a rehash exercise.
OK...I won't.
