Does that pass muster with your own hiring board? If so, great - I can log all my legs after my downgrade as PIC - but I'm thinking they don't see it that way.

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.

I guess it doesn't matter if I bid for Jan in old equipment then...(I start Jan 1). I'll probably get a rsv line anyways.

this reserve gig isnt too bad, all the line holders are picking up all the open time. I guess with lower line values these guys just pick up everything they can. I'm ok with them being strapped enough that they are willing to give up days off and allow me to stay home

You're correct - they don't. Not really sure many hiring boards would either. I think PIC = guy who signs the release. JMHO.

Sim instructors,
Does Delta use line pilots for sim instructors or do they hire off the street for the school house? I've looked on the Delta.com site and did not see a link for sim instructors.
Thanks,
Marty!!!
