Utter crap ... and that what my delta pals say too.
Mr Blunder,
I decided to ask a friend that is still working the answer is yes to $ 80000. Here is how . Delta pilots have the ability to drop their full schedule and then pickup new trips . A few of the more contract savvy individuals on the A350 have done so and then picked up open double time trips filling the month that way. . The system is not without risk as you could end up with zero flying in your month but the A350 is a new aircraft at DAL and training is so backed up extra unfilled trips are available every day .
