They pretty much get advertising on a popular show for the price of a first year? FO pay. I don’t think they care too much.

Also, what kind of complete brain dead fool would bring a DAL uniform onto a reality TV show without their complete OK? He was likely on probation for most of the filming.

Rolled the speed back every leg? Padding your paycheck at the expense of those making those checks possible. I’m sure your customers would be thrilled.

Or maybe he didn’t want to wait 30 minutes on the ground for a gate, or stuck behind OO flying M .68

1. We get paid block or better. Flying slow doesn’t increase our income. AA flights have massive block times so you can fly slow and still arrive 5 minutes early.

2. Flying slow saves a little gas in flight, and saves extra taxi time fuel, as our gate will likely not be occupied upon landing.

3. Flying slow reduces the chances of arriving early and waiting for a gate, which is poor customer service. Customers don’t even notice a cruise that’s an extra 10 minutes, but sitting on the taxiway for 10 minutes and staying buckled is “absurd”. Our mainline partners get higher satisfaction from their customers.

4. Flying slow keeps our historical block times up, making future trips higher credit and more productive, as block is built on data from previous flights.

5. We get a little extra in our logbooks to get us out of this dumpster fire of an airline sooner.

Literally all parties win.

Delta tracks every captain at Compass and keeps a tally of how many minutes a captain overblocks every month...they’ve done this for at least 3-4 years. While I understand there are a multitude of factors that would cause a slow down, that’s not the way Delta or AA for that matter sees it. They have a number, If you get caught, prepare to do a carpet dance and be able to explain...it’s something that’s discussed in CELL class during upgrade

That's funny. Remember when the Chief put out a memo that said Daddy D was supplying CPZ a list of the pilots who were attenting their career fair - don't call in sick or else... And then they turned right around saying it's totally false, just another of the chiefs lies?

Never heard of this and count me skeptical.. 3-4 yrs ago we waited for gates 30-45 minutes on average it seemed and were late all the time... You remember. Are they still tracking it now that we've lost the flying? :rolleyes:The only carpet dancing I'll be doing will be in October when the Oakland As win the world series.. That's right, I said it.
