The following is from the contract:

Pay and Credit

1. Qualification Training
a. A regular pilot, while assigned to qualification training:
1) will be paid and credited the greater of (or at his option, on a bid period to bid
period basis, either of):
a) rotations removed during periods of continuous training to:
i. accommodate travel between his base and his training location when such training is conducted away from his base, and/or
ii. accommodate such training, and/or
iii. eliminate an FAR or PWA conflict that arises because of such training, or
b) pro rata portion of the ALV at the rate of the highest paying aircraft model
shown on his line for each training day.

b. A reserve pilot or an unassigned pilot, while assigned to qualification training, will be
paid and credited a pro rata portion of the ALV for each training day, including
training days on which his schedule shows “OFF” (not scheduled to attend training), at the rate of the highest paying aircraft model shown on his line or if he has not flown during the bid period, the rate used to establish his reserve guarantee or unassigned pilot guarantee

There is more in the contract about white slipping etc. if you are a regular line holder while in training but you get the gist with the above....if you are in training for the entire month, you should get a minimum of the ALV.

2. Who cares. Are you going to fly this airplane your career at Delta. Get over it and worry about something that matters.

Funny that Delta wouldn't give FO's a PIC type in the 737. Wonder why?

I don't think that is correct.

I got one out of training. But that was in 09'. I do not see why they do not type all pilots in all aircraft. In the 75/76 and 73 it was just an extra approach or two in the left seat and a taxi exercise.

So now when your 60+ year old capt passes out, you can kick them out of the seat and taxi the jet in

No chance, Tebow's head, and her boobs, would never fit in that small cockpit!

Seems to me, if you are junior, it matters. If you are senior, it also matters. Type rated means you can log in command time while flying your leg. If furloughed in the future, that could mean the difference between direct hire captain and no job offer.

So we're taking over the leases on 2 of GOL's 767..I assume this means we now will be flying them also?
2nd question..the slot swap fetched a pretty penny..Does Delta and US Airways get this $$ or does the gov't?
