If you are a Delta pilot you can read it on the crew resources April newsletter. I'm an 00 hire and always waiting for the other shoe to drop since that is how it's been for the last/lost decade, however I think that we are definitely on the way up.
Oh, then yes I misread that. Thanks!
Heck I'm still writing 2013 on my checks so if I actually did read that right it would have seemed like 2 years!
