Sue me for being positive. It's a better way to live - imo.
Are there legit gripes? Absolutely. Is DALPA perfect? Not even close. I am however, still very happy to be here. Want to cry about an unfair world? Feel free. I'm not going to join in or commiserate. I will hand you a tissue though.
Flt Ops is still fighting to begin hiring this year. When hiring starts the spigot will stay open for a decade. Very possible 321's w/330's on the way. Economy actually showing signs of life. Company estimating only 25% to 30% stay to 65. Signs of DAL life on West Coast. If only a 1/3d of what RA is planning happens, we are in for a rocket ship ride over the next 15yrs.
Well,
Hello There Cheap Trick - 43 Posts, Welcome to APC. Left seat after 9 years in the 727, but then pay cuts, stagnation, displacements, etc -
Ain't that a Shame, try all of the above from the right seat. Look, its not like the average DAL FO wants to
Surrender, but we were just hoping it would be different
This time around. Being a
California Man (LAX 73N) I am happy about the signs of West Coast coming alive but we probably won't see much movement out here on this bid -
Hard to tell.
As far as being positive - nothing wrong with that, But DAL always seems to disappoint with theses AE's, what can we say,
She's Tight when it comes to the advancement side - not so much with the displacement side.
Hope you are right about the good things that are just around the corner.
