I guess a bunch of junior pilots are going to get a displacement pay cut instead of a raise, and no new hires for a while. The further capacity reductions sort of kills the hope of the 2013 flying plan making up for the productivity increases and RMA shortfall. I bet 717A and 88A all go more, not less senior than before the TA |

Are the ground crews on our replacement aircraft cutting corners and not flushing out the tanks? I've accepted that they will be flying most Delta pax in the future, so I thought for my parents nonrevving, etc they might as well at least have clean water.
Even if there isn't any new mainline, DCI is capped where it is... No more growth in any form. |

I think our young Comair, soon to be Deltoid, is dreaming of young NYC FA's slobbering drunk at the Kew Club. Tossing and grinding.......UNDERBOOB PLEASE
(Are there any "young" guys left at Comair? I thought the average age was older than the AA pilot group!) |

I believe that this car is a Peugeot RCZ. If the flight was indeed coming from France, that would back up my guess.

You'll never know. What feels good at bedtime sucks an hour later, which sucks an hour later, which sucks an hour later, which................. you get the idea.
Much like most of my dates, it makes a hell of a racket when inflating/deflating :D |
FYI... EWR KCM is NOT at the DAL gates... It is ONLY in operation at the C (aka UCAL) terminal...
Misleading..... EWR is "partially operational" with KCM.....:mad: |

Especially since the 717's are growth airplanes. On top of that we don't know what the 2013 flying plan is going to be. I'm guessing we are going to start hiring early next year.
What will determine what actually happens is the economy. If it tanks the bids will be ugly. If things start to turn around then it will be much better. To paraphrase, "Its the economy stupid". Winter ticket sales to Europe are already weak so lets hope the summer flying plan for 13 does not take to big a hit. The contract we just signed is nothing but a blip compared to the economy when it comes to future pilot jobs at Delta. |
