Did the truck belong to Comair or Delta? If it didn't belong to Comair I hardly see how they can justify taking the plane away since no Comair employee was driving it. That doesn't mean they won't because Delta does illogical things from time to time. Hate to see you guys get beaten down anymore than you already are

I think Andy was kidding about the plane taken away for Comair. But thank you anyway.

Per the 2007 Letter of Committment between Delta and Comair and ALPA, Delta can remove from Comair any 70-seat aircraft that is destroyed or damaged beyond economical repair.

The 900s were not on property at the time so Delta could pull them tomorrow if they wanted to.

No questions were ever asked. I realize my report is contrary to the drama that most of your coworkers want you to believe is going to ensue from using the commuter clause. Sorry to disappoint. LOL!

They could track that as the company has access to the CASS database and can see when/if you were approved. There is no real need to ask for proof as they can access all of the required things via DLnet or CASS.

Offline flights (flights not operated by DL) count towards the two flights

Well, Delta did it again! They are growing while Comair shrinks. Delta’s Latest & Greatest thread surpassed Comair’s thread

I've been hearing that Captains at PSA & Mesa have been flying right seat to cover FO staffing. Has this been happening at Comair? I'm too lazy to look at the contract to see if Comair can use regular line CAs to fly right seat.

No, not allowed here per the contract, but plenty of 'former' captains flying in the right seat
