"Mini-dog," I like it. DogWhisperer needs to do something with that...
Get used to rapid turnover....at least for awhile. Guys are gonna be moving constantly and it's not just pay. Domicile, less commuting, bigger equipment, there are 12,000 pilots and 12,000 reasons.

Enjoy the ride!!

I think it is effective at staying bloated.

Another outcome of this/these votes is proof that Delta does not "run" ALPA, as some have intimated recently.

So what you're saying is when the 777s butt is in your face you get sprung?

So as long as new hire classes are giving 88s, 73s, Baby buses, and even ERs - that probably will not happen.

Good news...the more the merrier, especially in my category! C'mon in, the water's fine!

Just heard on TMZ....you have a greater chance of marrying Kim Kardashian than dying from Ebola.
