I'm assuming that you are returning after an AD retirement. Welcome back and thanks!

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 that 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.

I'd be surprised if Bill is even a pilot here-or if he is, he is management of some sort.

Curous, Bill... how often do you actually fly a trip at DL?

Hey Scheduling Gurus,

If my schedule says one thing and my Reasons report says something totally opposite, like several times, preferred off "honored," when it's not, rtc, etc. Who do I contact to ask questions? This has never happened to me before. Or, more accurately probably, what am I missing?

Really? Because I am overly positive? I think things look pretty good from my 4th floor windo, ooops, I mean my 88 right seat....:)

Ah ha is right! Three APC'ers in the same cockpit. No wonder the plane had a mechanical. It probably had stage fright. :D

I made my trip with plenty to spare on second backup. Too chicken to chance it. Glad you made it too.

Nice to meet you (in person again) too, dalad! :D

E-mail our MEC Skeds guys. They will look at it and tell you why, and that it was a good run! :D

You are below 60% so you get unstacked every month! :eek:

Again, what does the top tier ratio guarantee for domestic narrow body growth?
