I'm posting this here because I need an answer pretty quickly,and this thread gets more traffic than any of the others.

I'm charged with putting together a CARE package for a Delta guy who's in Iraq. What kind of things are most appreciated by the guys over there? No guesses or assumptions, please: I can do that. What I'm looking for is firsthand information, or direct feedback from someone who was there.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Is he at Camp Victory or Liberty? Or Balad? I've been there and can provide some good ideas. It would help to know where he is. Shoot me a PM.

Found them, one thought: DC-10s + Gallons of Secretariat Glue = Jobs.

Greenwood, Mississippi

In the 1960s and 1970s, the airport received airline service from Southern Airways with daily service to Jackson, MS and Memphis, TN. When Southern Airways merged with North Central Airlines to form Republic Airlines, airline service was dropped at Greenwood.

By way of comparison, AMR can have 25 70 seat jets!!!! Continental can't have ANY 70 seat jets. If those numbers don't get your attention I don't what will.


Its the old "bait and switch," anytime someone brings up those numbers the typical response is "Well how many Pilots do they have on furlough?" The only problem with this comparison is that we would have similar furlough numbers were it not for all the early retirements.

An alternate comparison would be how many pilots would we be hiring if we did not outsource so many mainline jets? Now you can get pretty carried away with these hypotheticals and I think DALPA is very good at most things, but Scope protection is not one of them.

The bankruptcy and the merger both came with relaxation of scope restrictions.
The latest outrage was the scope "settlement" that he didn't even bother to tell the pilots about before he signed it. (allowing still more 76 seat aircraft)
That was sold based on Moak's telling us we should fear that the contract might be interpreted wrong by an arbitrator. So we better not fight the grievance all the way. Too dangerous.
I don't have the contracts and LOAs in front of me right now but the number of permitted large RJs has risen steadily under Moak and that needs to stop.

Read the article in the Roar. I would love to hear comments on that.
