If you've every done any carpentry work, you know that sometimes you wish you had a 3rd hand.

I think the third should be mounted on the back - for dancing.

Just wondering if any of you Delta folk know about the Flight Operation internship? What kind of tasks do you do, etc.? Anybody know if in the hiring climate beginning in a few years, the internship could lead to employment after graduation? Delta is my ultimate professional goal, not just because of the practical benefits (pay, benefits, fleet, etc.) but the overall company culture.

Skylover,

The internships are a good deal and a way to gain some recognition for your future application. Often you are assigned interesting work, or sometimes gain a 737 Type Rating (why we help interns meet Southwest's competitive mins, go figure). Delta's culture left with Hollis Harris, but this hybrid Garrison Keillor version of Texas International isn't half bad. What I'm saying is focus on the practical ... .

That's what ACL's been saying for the last 18 months.

Did anyone else notice a huge jump in the flight advance from July 1st paycheck to the August 1st paycheck?

I don't remember seeing anything in the contract about a change

Found it, it's one half of reserve guarantee for the month. It all makes sense now.

Remember, "1+1=3." Amazing how guys "in the know" and still in positions of leadership can miss the mark by so much.

thats been going on for a long time as far as i know, i thought that changed last year. when we switched from the old Delta way of pay to the version NWA had.
