I should have said a little more. You can DV8 from DH on an ocean crossing and are guaranteed a PS BE seat IF.. one is available at the time you try to book it. (And remember, some "crossings" are not crossings.. i.e. NRT-SIN, and you are only guaranteed a coach seat... it's only a 7+ hour flight though.. )
But, back to the original example: I was scheduled to DH from NRT to JFK, and wanted to change to the NRT-ATL flight. Since you cannot change an end of rotation DH until after you sign in, I tried to do so, and the ATL flight had no seats available for PS in BE, but there were some in coach. Needless to say, I stayed on my originally scheduled flight until I git rerouted

I think Delta IT has a good strategy with the iPad. Let someone else ie: AA and Alaska do the research and testing, and when FAA approves it, then we can quickly buy some and get it up and running. Although Delta and quickly don't seem to go hand in hand.

I'm close to you on that one in the upper 10's.... and the 330B isn't even in the top 3 on my list (if you don't shoot for the moon...) so I won't show on that 1 2 and 3, just in the overall preference.

No doubt, shoot for 6.5 but I'd still settle for 5+15 min a day. That makes a 4 day worth 21 minimum. Remember I'm talking about paid for duty time, not flight time. Aren't the new FAA regs based on duty time too?

Any guesses how senior those 49 330 A slots will go in ATL? I'm wondering because the senior-most 330 instructor is #1207 on the seniority list. I personally think there is more than a slight chance that the entire 330 instructor cadre could be displaced off the airplane on this bid. Interesting times.

Remember we don't even have 5+15 min day right now. We have it per duty period... hence why quito, a 3-day trip (and many other examples), only pays 10+30 or so.

We need to get "Calendar Day" for those trips. A 3 day trip to Hawaii that gets back into LA on the third day means 3 days of pay, or 15:45. USAir has that. That, along with min of 5:15 per day for vacation and training should be obvious wants for the next contract.
