Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

Hey that brings up an interesting point - what becomes of the DPA now that we have a new contract? Are they still lurking in the shadows, soliciting donations? Will they re-emerge in 2015 with new bag tags?
Not trying to stir up issues over this, but where do they go from here?

Several people I know just sent in cards for the first time due to recent events.

What's up with Brees holding out? Hasn't he seen the powerpoint slides prepared by Saints management? What a D.A....if he'd taken the money they were offering back on June 1 he'd have realized huge Time Value of Money returns! Dude needs to see how it's done by reading some airline news: Do like Delta, Drew: take the first offer ASAP!

Guess it depends on whether or not an assessment comes down from the TWA issue.

Free Bird,

Can you point to any pilot groups that have above average pay by feather bedding?

In what competitive set?

I'm not very bright. What's feather bedding? I already make 78 hours of credit for 35 hours of actual work...

Been thinking....if Delta were the Adams Family, what aircraft would be what character? I'm thinking that the Mad Dog HAS to be Uncle Fester....Mortisha is the A-330, she speaks french....Lurch is the 747....Is Pugsly the 9? A-320?

DALPA said our contract is industry-leading. Wait, I get it. Southwest is not in our industry. We are legacy-leading.

Some of our current 737 FOs will be 717 Capts then, making an extra $70 an hour. How much of a raise is that? 30 MD90s will replace the 17 current DC9-50s, and by the end of 2015 we will have 88 717s that will pay $195 an hour for the Capt by then. Say it won't happen. SAY IT!!!!! (in Van Damme voice during Kumite ending in the movie "Bloodsport")

It's 19.7% in pay rates, and then at least another .3% in per diem or intl override. Throw in average day of 4:30, and it will be at least 20%. Say it!!!

They also won't see their customers ride on a CRJ-200 flown by an understaffed circus of an airline.
