Nothing to see here, move along.

Exactly right.

This certainly wouldn't be the first time we've wasted money in Milwaukee.

Who is good with Excel?
Can somebody crunch the final Excel list of RMA pilots with the Excel list of retirement dates on DeltaNet to come up with the ages of the RMA guys? I saw the graph from before the "opt-out" deadline.
I'd like to know if Sailingfun's claim that they are mostly younger than expected is true or not after the opt out period.
If it is true, that would be good news and would mitigate the disappointing 191 number.

I suspect by tomorrow at close of business a new chart will be produced by DALPA.

Its funny how I ride a lot of jumpseats to my main job and my hobby job. All I get is barraged with questions on how to get hired at Delta. Very strange. Must be that terrible union leadership!.
208 new aircraft? We have 714 now. So are we going up to 922 mainline aircraft in the next four years?

When I break it out on excel, this is what I get:





So, it looks as if Sailing is right. I show 71% of the RMA (post withdrawl) being under 61.

The only problem is, it's only 191 pilots out of a little under 12,000.

I simply have to laugh when certain individuals call others too pessimistic or leaking glasses or whatever else.

And 5 years of FE duty (frequent tale of woe): I'd have taken that in a heartbeat over furlough.


[rant off]
^^^^^^^^^
This and also Free Bird's post.
11 years here and STILL seniority # is above what the company says it needs to run the airline. Bottom part of the list is one small TA efficiency away from another 5 year furlough. My analysis says our hiring through 2016 is taken care of by the new contract, and anything beyond that will likely be handled by some sort of merger/shrinkage. When the entire list stagnates for 5 years due to 65, it's way easy to talk rosy when you're sitting at the TOP of the world for those extra 5 years... things are different when you're at the bottom for an extra 5 years, especially right after more than 5 years furlough.

Hey folks, how do I check whether I've already used my APD for this year?

Look at the bottom of your time card. It'll show whether or not it's available.
