Question For Delta Guys

[BID]

Do your FO's need to have a current first class medical? Here at CAL we are required to have one. Initially, that was not the case, but has been for the last couple of years.

Rumor is France pushed for it. Claimed it was needed for IRO flights and to meet international standards.

Yes, we do. We are typed like you and to operate in an augmented crew the FO's need a first class. Those under 40 every year, and those over 40 every six months.

Its cuz DAL knows that half the geezer list is going to 'expire' shortly.

.. if not on a type rated fleet (M88, the only fleet we don't type FOs) you only need the first class once a year. Type rated fleets you need to get it twice a year but the EKG is only required annually for those over 40, if under 40 the FAA EKG rules apply.

I am not sure whether we type the A320 guys....

interesting. yeah we do IRO stuff on the 737 and typed so First class required.

so we just announced an LAX base, am curious how many guys you have based out there?

without considering UAL merger issues, our base is a small one. 58 FO, 60 CA 737

We can only fly to OGG, HNL, CLE, IAH, EWR if I understand the transition agreement correctly.

we have ~~ 500 guys. There is 737-800 and a 757/767 base.

Wait a minute - at Delta the COMPANY pays for your 737 type rating? I guess DAL really is a PFT outfit, as in the company (P)ays (F)or your (T)raining. Pretty sweet.

Very lame!!

Don't be sore about buying (or getting mom and dad to buy) your 73 type to try to get out of SKYW. I'm sure the blind worship of SWA will pay off for you one day.

Just as lame as your previous post. :laugh:

No intentions of going to SWA, don't have a 73 type, and don't work for Skywest. Damn man, 0-3. The ignorance of some is amazing, in a pathetic way. Educate yourself on PFT.
