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

Did anyone see the regional thread about all the regionals dropping out of known crewmember? I hope the program sticks around. If everyone drops out, the cost will probably go up for the airlines that are left.

forgot to bid

I'll go check it out, but are they dropping out because the benefit fails to outweigh the cost since it's hardly available anywhere?

GOL's $1.6 billion debt load, the most of any major airline worldwide relative to profit, is fueling speculation it will sell assets to raise cash or merge with another carrier.

Quote:

Gol announced in December that Delta Air Lines Inc., the world’s second-biggest airline by traffic, agreed to buy a $100 million stake and that the carriers would begin booking passengers on each other’s jets.

Might be because the airlines and A4A specifically are paying for it. Might be a ploy to get the major to eat all of the cost.

I have no words for how "special" this post is. You can't be serious?

So you would rather the most senior... oldest... 300 left rather than the 191 more youthful group that DID leave? Yeah, I think he's serious and he has a great point. You might want to revisit your stance on that one.

My seniority number has gone up, but I'm more junior than I was in 2008.

In a way you are right. So you must then apply the exact same logic and stop the biyatching about age 65. It only delayed your upgrades. I'm good either way. Your relative seniority is due more to the merger and the economy than any of this other stuff.
