Sad to see what Delta has become..
"Don't like it here - go elsewhere". If you told this to any Delta employee for it's entire history until around 2005 people would think you are crazy..
Now you and T through statements like thUat without even thinking twice.

How about we try to stick together and improve this place?

$500 for the baby is nice, 77 hours for 20 days of work is not - face the truth, bro.

That's not exactly true. Most of those have early morning arrivals or late night departures, so even though you technically work a day, you have most of it off. Not great, but it's not really 20 full days. If you don't like it, bid the bus in SLC and get commutable lines. It might give you a better QOL.

Bill, all I can figure you for is a desk jockey of sorts... the kind that doesn't care what the plan is because you get yours by giving them ours.

Seven grand out of pocket is ridiculous.

Nice.

You make it yesterday? We finally got a new airplane and left at 1715. Got towed into Gate 28 @ 1945!

Made it home though. Oh, & in the descent into JFK we got a RHPSOV caution message. We laughed so hard I was almost crying. It went out once the engines spooled back up, but I found it ironic.

I like this statement much better.

From what I see at work, the people here are great to work with and seem to genuinely care about each other. So, I have to consider Bill and comments like his to be an exception to the rule.

$4000 is a lot of money to pay for having a kid, and the bills just keep coming after that. (Does it ever end?) I hope we can fix that part of the insurance plan in the future.

You must have connections Buzz.

Yes! I made it. It was a cluster at the other gate, but scheduling got me on the flight. I think they ran out of captains this weekend, so it was nice to feel needed.

You guys did a great job. Delta professionalism at its best. With that deep radio voice of yours, I wonder if female controllers ever deny your requests for shortcuts, different altitudes, and closer runways. Hopefully we can fly together, so I can see the smooth talker in action.

Thanks again, Johnson. Nice meeting you!

Yeah, but mines all screwed up. I look at the Reasons and it says my requests were honored. Then I look at my schedule and none of it was honored. I think I'm screwed, my wife's gonna kill me.

Glad you made it. It was good meeting you too! I wish we could've fixed it and gone. I could've used your presence to help me tame that 767 beast. Super tells me it's like Skywalker moving his fighter in the presence of Yoda. The power of the master is present.

Hoping we fly together soon. I've got the first round.
