Things are pretty good at DAL and getting better , but the 12 month conversion is a turd. Like many other items in our PWA we can probably improve this and hopefully we will.

Uh...we work in the airline industry. If you think that we have the right to show up on day one of our airline career, take a mental snapshot of the place and then say "yep, this is exactly how things will be 30 years from now"...you probably picked the wrong career.
There have been a lot of good points raised about some of the onerous provisions of the one-year AE, trying to mix in important family events with unknown training dates, etc. However, lamenting MDs as some sort of company hose-job is just petty. You might as well just complain "can you believe I have to spend 1/3 of my days on the road, sleeping in hotels?"

I'm not lamenting MD's, please don't put words in my mouth, I sort of get how the industry works. I'm lamenting how this part of our contract lags pretty much every other airline out there. Even the regional airline contracts don't give their companies that much latitude to schedule training over such a long window with minimal schedule protections for the pilot.

I'm not related to anybody in management. How about you?
No. Don't agree with pilots violating it either. Do you? Are your ethics situational?
#25
I apologize if your expectations have been lowered by my reminders of reality.
I agree. I'd be interested in seeing where this particular issue ranks among the others. What do you think?

Yup, all the company tools are starting to show up once again to tell us how lucky we are to be here. Next, we’re going to hear the sky is falling and Greece is going to take the world economy down, and damn we need to hurry up and cave in to get a ‘deal’
