some Delta questions

[bmxandjets]

767 is domestic and domestic only, unless you consider Puerto Rico international.

7ER is international with a smattering of domestic thrown in. NYC 7ER has no domestic at all. ATL has some. Mostly between ATL and JFK and some reserve trips overflow into domestic.

Long and the short: 767=domestic, 7ER=international. Two completely separate categories.

that does clear things up, thanks-

Could someone clarify this scenario for me. If a new hire is assigned the 88 right off and then transfers to the 75/76. Can they then bid to and from the ER on subsequent bids without incurring a new seat lock. If one is on the ER first and then goes to 75/76 is there any lock.

There is a 9 month seat lock within the 757/767/ER/765 category. After 9 months flying the dom category, you could bid the ER, or the 764 if you can hold it(765 we call it for INTL), and 9 months later bid back to DOM if you want to.

Is it the same in all ac. How long are you locked into the ac that you were assigned as a new hire, if at all? Then after you switch to ac number 2 how long are you locked in that ac.

There is no seat lock for the aircraft you get as a new hire. The next aircraft is a two year lock unless you are moving within the 767 fleet..ie 7ER back to 767, or 7ER up to the 765.

Michael;

How about bases? Is there a "junior" base?

I live in CT and would love to drive to work.

Just thinking ahead.

JFK is the junior base. However, in class you may be able to get other bases. Each class is different on what bases are available.

LGA on the 88 Shuttle is very junior as well, you could hold a line there within a few months. It's great flying and you'd be hold 15-17 days a month off after not too long, in addition to being able to pick up overtime, open time, swap/trade/drop, ect. MUCH better in my opinion that sitting rsv on an ER in JFK and never flying, little control over your schedule, sitting in a crashpad waiting for the phone to ring and landing an airplane 1x a month. The Shuttle is Perfect for someone that lives within driving distance of LGA. I would stay on it myself, but the left coast is home...so LAX here I come.

This is incorrect in that in the 767 "domestic" you dont cross an ocean (dont do anything that requires a plotting chart) and don't cross the equator. Everything else is fair game.

I've done plenty of central america and the carribbean..Caracas is on the domestic category as well as a couple other South American cities.

You'll get to use the HF's plenty coming out of JFK down to the carribbean.

NYC is the junior base, so you will be set. What is your driving time to the three NYC airports (LGA,JFK,ERW)?

I grew up in CT, still love it there, but settled in ATL now.

Ebay has Delta pilots' (FO Stripes) uniforms listed

Please - a Delta pilot please buy this stuff and get it off a public auction. If it is your size, save $150 to $250.

I'm up in NYC 7ER doing nothing but ocean crossings. I didn't realize that the domestic was doing South America. They told us in training that that was all ATL ER stuff. I come back to ATL domestic this spring so I guess I will get to experience it soon.

On the DOM 757/767, there is NO South American flying. The 738 goes to Panama City, Guatemala City, Caracas, and eventually Quito starting in AUG, but that is it for that fleet. The domestic guys on the 757 go to Aruba, but that is as far South as they go.

Caracas and Panama City were on the 75/76 bid lists up until this month. Did two Aruba 24 hour layovers this month.
