Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?
Deltanet question-- My Icrew keeps kicking me off (timing out) very briefly, around 3-4 min, and I have to re-log into Deltanet then icrew. I can't make it thru open time even. I've deleted my cache and cookies already, anyone have any other ideas?
Thx!

I'll watch Richard Anderson's presentation if you promise me he mentioned me by name.
Because frankly, I'm getting tired of this notion that just because you rarely contribute that you shouldn't be highly praised.

Celebrations are in order! As airline pilots we're close to breaking into the top half of the list. We even beat out the sewage plant operator.

Because then they would not have to staff reserves at the current levels at all the bases... just overstaff them at one, cheap, spot. Line and reserves. Then you just need ONE pool to handle all the (say) 73n reserves, you can get away with a lot less reserves in total. Not enough guys to handle the weekend reserve in ATL/SLC/LAX? No problem, we're 30% overstaffed in NYC, we'll just farm out everything we can in time to those reserve guys, who will be willing to take anything they can get that doesn't start in NYC and will get themselves there for free...
The IMMEDIATE result would be:
1. sortie ho pilots would grab all they could, standard, with no thought towards the overall effect.
2. reserves would drop. 15% pilot manning cut BAM. At today's retirement forecasts, this results in either furloughs or another 6 years stagnation.
3. All bases except the fat one would NOT have enough manning to do swaps and drops, and quality of life for everyone would immediately drop.
ABSOLUTE WORST THING that could happen.
Remember: your goal is MORE pilots, and BETTER quality of life. We already know from our DCI discussions that there will always be some pilot willing to undercut everyone else, and work longer/cheaper to the point of poverty, to make themselves some extra coin. It's the exact same thing we complain about mgt doing-- greedy moves to boost THIS quarters profits at the expense of the long term. Don't be that guy...
