Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

You pulled up the perference list and saw everyone bidding the position including name his current position and if he had a freeze. In this particular bid you could have seen who had a RMA award in front of you. but I guess that does not matter as it is better to just shoot in the dark or stick your hand into a grab bag and be happy with what you pull out. At least with the other system you knew if you even wanted to stick your hand in the bag.

That's interesting. Seems like it would open it up to sniping. I kind of prefer the anonymity.

Wow... Vacation induced or full regular? I didn't see that nwaf16 was ER. Sure hoping for some movement in my category on this one. Like I said, 9300 was the junior full line on the atl 320b.

318 and 319 Airbusses. E 190's.

Bedford needs CASH to survive. Delta can have Bedford dump the 50 seaters at Chitykitty. Bedford gets more 170's to replace them and he can sell his money loosing Frontier operation to Big D. Bedford stays in the game and Delta gets desirable aircraft......

Anyone know what the "milestone" column means on the RMA list?

There were certain events in the defined benefit plan that would trigger getting higher benefits. For instance reaching age 60 meant you have no reduction in your pension. "Milestone" meant that the pilot had one of these triggers to meet before the early out expiration (June 2013) and his retirement date was adjusted to meet that milestone.

If you think Delta needs to buy Frontier for extra airbuses, you are way off.

I agree. Those are jets Dal does not want.

I can't attend that Church of the Less than 12 Year Payrate to get a Line. I'm already in the longer than 12 years so I can sit reserve in Atl on the little bus.

Life is good!!:D I even put in a bid for the 330......:eek: I'd be super junior on it but livin' 30 minutes from the airport parking lot makes sitting reserve (along with the higher guarantee) not too much of a problem.... Thought maybe I'd try and at least get the type... Not sure when that might come in handy!!:D Anyway, probably wont get it on this one but possibly the next? Looks like about a dozen guys up here on the 330 took the RMA.
