How is reserve on the 7ER B in NYC? Lot's of SC's? Do they keep you in base by doing SC, LC, SC, LC? Are crash pads $250+??

I probably won't hold it with the ATL surpluses, but I'm curious as to how it's been.

Three airports with reports as early as 5 AM. Look at the open time pot, mostly MEX trips. I would not sit reserve on the ER with having three airports of responsibility.

Just my .02, ymmv.

I'm 8 months in....All those checkups/shots are "preventive" and covered at 100%.

the 90/10 "coinsurance" is an outrage. MUST have contractually protected health plan (in addition to DPMP) in C2012.

We ended up buying a nonstop IAD-LAS on United for about $250 RT each (Until my wife HAD to take our dog)

I'll second that. There are only 10 seats at that "T" fair. A few weeks ago I was looking at a trip for mid March and after I worked out a couple of issues, the seats were gone , so I had to move it up a week!

How could you not hold it? The 4 most junior people at Delta are on the 7ER in NYC. I've had two SC this month so far. Called in on first one at 3:45 am UHG. Sept I had 4 SC. I think the most I've ever had was 5 in one month, but that is like 10 on any other airplane.

No shizzle. Getting my fam to ATL is proving to be a challenge. Air France maybe?

OK, so did you see the news tonight that a "Delta pilot" on a Delta flight from Asheville to Lagardia was trapped in lav while the only FA onboard this "Delta jet" was in the cockpit. I bet Delta management is sure proud of that! I think we should flood the reps and CPOs with emails about this one.

Thanks for the info. I appreciate it. WRT saying I may not hold it as a result of this AE. Just thinking many of the 50 FO ATL 7er surpluses may come up to NYC making it more senior. Really no way to guess IMO.
