Lets go back to the UAUA numbers. Who thinks they are doing a little creative accounting?

I'll give it a shot for you.

ATL - 767 - Lots of 757 time with a little 76 time mixed in. Domestic, Carib, Mex, and some Latin Am.

ATL - 76ER - International with domestic time mixed in occassionally. Europe, South, Central America, Africa.

ATL - 767-400 - Mainly international. Europe and some SA.

CVG - 76ER - I think domestic, a little Hawaii, and some international.

SLC - 767 - Domestic, Mex, Carib

LAX 767 - Domestic, Mex, Carib

LAX 76ER - Mainly Hawaii with some South and Central America currently. Lots of low time Hawaii with all-nighters. Occassional domestic stuff.

NYC 76ER - Europe, Africa, SA, LA.

Let me know if you need some more info.

Agreed! tired of looking in the rearview mirror.

Okay, I bow to those of you who see no point in these discussions. I see your point and will cease and desist on this thread. On another note, here is an excerpt of the latest Flt Ops code a phone:

from the Delta Flight Ops code-a-phone:

On Thursday ALPA and the company both announced that 215 pilots have elected to participate in Delta’s Pilot Retirement Incentive Program, or PRIP. Of the 215 pilots electing to take early retirement, 201 are pre-merger Northwest, 14 hail from Delta, and the average group age is 59.7 years. The highest numbers of participants are Detroit based, followed by Memphis and Seattle. The A330 will see the bulk of captain retirements, followed by the A320. The majority of first officers electing to retire will also be on the A330. We will be paying close attention to appropriate retirement dates on the categories most heavily affected to ensure operational integrity. Pilots who have elected to take advantage of the PRIP have until July 31st to withdraw their paperwork and, following this deadline, we will provide the pilot group with finalized PRIP numbers as soon as they become available. Delta has continued to take every step possible to offer frontline employees voluntary retirement and leave options as we manage through difficult economic conditions. We are pleased that those pilots who were interested were able to take advantage of the first voluntary retirement program offered to this workgroup in a number of years.

Notice that they stated, First Voluntary program offered to this working group in a number of years. I wonder if we will see another?

You're not privy to that info?

What makes you think they will offer another? The anemic program they DID offer was taken by 215, so it appears obvious (to me anyway) that it would take significant improvement to get more. Don't read too much into that statement.. It would be nice though :)

Wow, interesting. Not that it matters, but I'll bet this means mostly green dudes. Too bad, the old Hughes guys are such a blast to work with.

With that said, I sure wish they would tell us what the plans are for the A330. This will open up opportunities on it for both Capts and Fos, but I for one don't want to bid it till I see where it is going to end up.
