That's impossible. You have skills, Mr. Phelps.

I had 9 guys below me the other day, we all had 0 raws and I was number 1. I put in for PM SC and got it for the next day, around 2pm they call and took away my raw to give me a rotten 6am trip. Good crew but lousy trip.
So they did just the opposite of what they did to you which Id say what happened to you is more normal.
But like so much else with scheduling its all just arbitrary. I request pm short call and get 0500. I call, I'm nice, they amend it to pm and apologize for not looking. I am happy they accommodate but the problem is they're not being given the automation tools. They're hand flying at 390 with baggage carts moving around.

Spot on,
Cabotage is one of the few remaining shelters from alliance takeover of legacy flying...
Here's my wish list going forward:
Cheers

Here's my wish list going forward:
- Drastic reduction of domestic code
- Production balance for all non-Delta flying
- Annual remedies for non-compliance in PWA
- All Codeshare, JV and DCI capacity growth tied to mainline capacity growth.
Cheers

Not to sound like a whiner here but anyone else find the three back-to-back commercials (on jets that can show them) that start blaring three seconds after gear retraction extremely tacky and annoying?
Nothing like a quiet, slow late afternoon taxi to the runway ending with loud car commercials waking any customer up who was napping.

I absolutely hate them... and so do our customers. Every time I'm commuting on DAL or any other airline, and talk with a passenger, they complain about the non-stop Delta marketing bombardment of commercials for Lincoln, credit cards, sky miles, etc. etc. etc. while they're trying to sleep. I think it's annoying and insulting, and makes us seem like a snake-oil used car salesman. Totally tacky. And the fact you can't turn off the TV entertainment monitor during the commercials, FORCED to watch it and listen at heinously high volume, would really **** me off if I paid $5000 for a ticket...
I applaud Delta for finding creative ways to find new revenue. Who knows, this new found revenue may pay for our next contractual improvements.

I like their uniforms!
Somehow I don't think those would look quite as good on our International (grand-) Mommas.
Do you know if they need Pilots? Gives a whole new meaning to, "I'd do this job for FREE!"

Well, we know where the moderators stand.
Mention "DPA" in this thread = kick in the jimmy; however, college football, remodeling, ductless heating and cooling systems, and pretty much everything else is acceptable.
Are you guys bucking for ALPA Rep/Company Managment positions?

Trust me, it's impossible to click through this thread when DPA/DALPA gets going, no matter how fast you try, without your brain perceiving all the quotes, requotes, you said, "may I remind you of my question???", "you failed to answer the question", "here's what you said in 27 prior posts that I've cut and pasted to prove you're not a computer when replying" blah blah blah OMG my brain hurts...
It's a unique thread, and hey, maybe someone will throw in a post or two about hunting or fishing or beer or home repair amongst the football posts. In fact, I was more interested in hearing about ductless heating and cooling than anything else in the last 20 pages (except that girl in blue and Aeromexico!). Here's a good test: does the post make your eyes bleed to read? YES=move to DPA thread. NO= leave it and wait for underboob.
