[/quote]Couple basic questions regarding DAL:
1) Is FIRST year payscale still $48 for all equipments?
Yes
2) SECOND year pay:
B737 - $66
MD88 - $67
B767/757 - $ 76
Yes
3) Is there a seat lock? or can you jump equipments as they become available (seniority driven?)
Two years, but u r not locked in to the seat you get as training
4) How long can a new hire expect to be on reserve on B737, MD88, B757/767 (ATL or NYC)?
NYC, alot sooner than ATL, MD-88 alot sooner than the 73N. So, if u want to be off reserve, go for 88 NYC; if you want the glory and don't mind reserve for 3-5 years, you can bid in to the 767 Int'l in NYC almost immediately
5) How long until upgrading?
Junior Captain seat is the MD-88 in NYC; I am an early 2000 hire and 6 to 9 months away. For the same 88 in ATL it is probably another 3-4 years.
But, we stopped hiring for 6 years.
Thanks for the info.....just trying to decide if I should make a move.
On 31 day months, you are on reserve 19 days; on 30 day months, it is 18.
Call out is 12 hours, however, they can assign 6 short call days which have 2 hour call out.
I haven't been on reserve in 6 years but I understand short call is usually better because if they have a trip for you, they'll tell you as far out as possible.
Short call is really used for coverage when people call in sick or irregular ops. Basically you won't be utilized as much on short call.
Didn't one of delta's shrinks who evaluates new hires blow their brains out?
