Yup, we're still getting half of the reserve guarantee but the reserve guarantee just went way up...thus the bump in the first of month check. My wife has already spent it. Don't know about you guys.

Hey Tsquare this is for you. Awesome flying with you man. Next time we should go to Kiev.

Hey Mods I posted the link instead of the video because of the offensiveness of this video. Hope I'm ok.

That seems like a great opportunity to me. (Actually, DL only considers candidates from a few select universities, I believe)

From what I've heard, the Delta internship is less well-known as internships at Southwest and United.

What I'm wondering is, if I graduate college with ATP mins (whatever they end up being), could that internship lead to employment with Delta without having to go to a regional first, keeping in mind the upcoming hiring projections?

Oh, I've been discussing it, but not on here. Lots could unfold in the next few days.

15th is the date set for the hearing to void the AMR APA CBA but could be delayed until the 19th.

MEC is in session this week in CVG.

Anyone know which execs are going to be speaking in closed session? Haven't seen the advance agenda yet.

As Bar said, we've been discussing the fallout from the AMR CH11 for a long time. Of note, I am not sure BA really wants to buy a stake before new common stock is issued. BA does not want to compete with DAL. DAL has a plan B is they cannot access the AMR LHR slots; Virgin.

I am guessing that DAL has been talking "theoretically" with the creditors of AMR for some time. AMR imo was the driver for our early deal.

With the TA done and at the level it was done at, we have cleared the way for DAL to make a play for all of AMR if the so choose, then divest what they need to for ATI. UAL wants parts too. Its the real driver for them working feverishly to get a TA done. All of nothing could happen, but all parties at AMR are even stating that a merger et al is very likely now and not later. The rest is hot air. I still think assets like terminals and route authorities are what we want.

The next few weeks "may" be interesting if contracts get voided. More integration for employees. Oh joy.

*anyone have an update on the T-4 project in JFK?

Nice. I'm just crossing my fingers that (1) I earn an internship and (2) Whoever I work for either recommends me to the DL hiring board or can pull some strings for me. Of course, I realize that is a lot to hope for! Although, by the time this would happen, hiring will begin to really go full steam ahead, so I hope that would work in my favor.

As you can tell, I'm very, very motivated to join Delta.
