Lots of other variables as well.

Not sure how that guy still has access to proprietary data. That site could be shuttered at any moment without notice.

Good for you, I hope that continues. He retired years ago now and I think a warning is appropriate.

Not sure what the warning is. That you may be out the cost of 1/2 a cup of Starbuck's in a month if it gets shuttered? Seems like it provides good info for non Delta pilots who want to do research on career progression, basing, staff numbers per a/c per base etc. and $2 (or what ever it is) a month seems reasonable.

Not here to carry Curly's water, but I believe he operates his site with the knowledge of, and tacit blessing from, management. Say what you want about him, but he was one of us for over 30 years, and you want to treat him like... what? It's not like being retired military and still getting current intel update briefs on an old security clearance.

Having said that, if he's coloring outside the lines, then the company has every right to close that hole.

My warning is for the publication of Delta proprietary information. I must be the only one getting the the Delta cyber security emails. Take it (my warning to new hires) for what its worth. I don't doubt the value of the information but all that is a available through regular channels on Deltanet and the DALPA site. If you are happily paying the fee for the format, great.

But there are too many variables, who knows if DAL/UAL/AA stays the same size, grow or shrinks…

Anyone hired today in any of the 3 legacies, should have a good career.

Curly's site is also available for free for a coula months for prospective hires. A wealth of info for anyone curious about delta bases, equipment, staffing numbers, retirements and A/E's. A prospective candidate doesn't have access to dig the info out like a new hire. All things I wanted to get on Delta, AA, and UAL when my kids were getting hired.

Meanwhile, Delta legal sent a cease/desist to the DL pilot that was making the metal “Fly Delta Jets” tags (as well as the “Avoid Pairings” tags)
