Delta recall

[ultrarunner]

Are those that bypassed eligible for recall indefinitely?

 

[SplitBar]

I think most on that list are long gone. I know a couple and they aren't coming back. I heard that once hiring kicks in they will be facing their final decision.

 

[ultrarunner]

Online intel indicates 300 are still on bypass. I'm just wondering what the current policy is for those 300. Do they in-fact give up recall rights at the next offer?

 

[NWA-AirGuard]

There are 203 on bypass as of the last senority list. You can bypass for 10 years. I'm guessing at least the top half of the list can keep bypassing until 2015/2016. Delta gives people over 10 years one more chance to go back between 10 and 14 years. You have to either go back when they offer you a class date or quit. The bottom half to bottom third of the list are in this category, myself included. I'm planning on going back.

 

[ultrarunner]

Thanks for the great intel -AirGuard! Much appreciated.

Yep that's pretty much how it's gonna go down. I'm in the same boat, but can't even think about going back. If it was the good ole Delta then maybe, but the new Delta? No thanks. It'll suck getting fired from an Airline that once was a dream to be employed by. Sad day indeed. Oh well.....good luck to all the bypass guys.

There are over 1000 pilots that are on furlough bypass, military leave, and short and long term sick leave. Some of the furlough bypass guys won't ever come back, as well as the some of the sick leave guys.

did all those pilots get stapled. They brought no job to the merger. How can that be possible placing someone that is not currently working in front of working pilots. That is just wrong.

The one good thing the union does....

While the union can't save you from furlough, you CAN go back and you DO keep your number....

I got no prob with that!

But you're saying anyone furloughed should start back at zero???

Geez!

I'm in the bypass group, contemplating returning but reviewing the benefits/cost of doing it. Currently have good benefits, retirement, security and home every night. But, the view from the cubicle never changes and airplanes don't ask for 13 pages of PowerPoint every time a decision is required.

The best part of returning to Delta...I haven't used PowerPoint since December 2009!

No more TPS reports!

 

[Pluto]

You have no idea how accurate that is! My first day on the job I was informed by 4 different managers that I was behind on quarterly training requirements. Of course my first day on the job was the last day of the quarter - no matter, just get it done. Aaargh!! A scene straight out of "Office Space".

The view over the top of the Dell laptop is looking worse, you guys may have talked me into it.......

PC load letter?

It may not be the job it used to be, but it's still a pretty darn good job. I know I would go bat-******************** crazy if I had to go to the same cubicle to work 5 days a week.

Pluto........Couldn't have said it better. I am an engineer but your comments above apply. I am either going back to flying or put a king air on a 135 cert and lose a ton of money.

Not sure about the beni's at Delta, but the last 3 would certainly make for a tough decision. I do love flying, but don't love worrying about having a job every other month. I've been laid off 5 time in the last 7 years from 4 different companies....not fun at all. Best of luck with your decision, when the time comes.

 

[nonstop]

You guys make it sound like flying is interesting. I'd rather watch paint dry, at least you can do that in comfortable clothes.

 

[Networ-King]

Then why do you bother coming to an aviation bitch board? Go to the paint drying bitch board and spare us all your drivel. Idiot......

They were on bypass prior to the merger so there place on the respective seniority list was protected. At UAL we had a few 747,777 captains take a voluntary furlough. They will have there same spot when they return. One of them too the job at CAL and is tossing gear on the 737 for $190+hr.

I had my job prior to the merger and took my contractual bypass... thanks Alpa for letting me bypass. As for the working pilots who got hired after me, they deserve to be below me on the list. MCDU, why don't you try being furloughed. It sux big time. In fact, maybe you upgraded quickly around 03-05 all because I was still on the street. That's just plain wrong, but in the end it's capitalism and the way life in business works. In fact I gained seniority in the NWA-DAL merger... thanks again Alpa. Without you we'd have guys like MCDU screwing us over.

I'll go back on my terms and take my spot that's been held for me back... that's life bro.
