(that was my bad, I voted yes because truthfully I guess I did not fully comprehend the efficiency's that were gained. With letters from SD say possible hiring in fall of 2012 and the union saying 3000 new hires and such... I took hook line and sinker. Once again my bad.)
A lot of people took the bait.....62% in fact. As a 2010 hire, I'm seriously considering bailing for United. I'm on my second displacement and keep moving farther from home. A Chicago commute would be better than any of the other Delta junior bases. Anyone else thinking of pulling the cord? I live in IAH and while I'd love to live in base, I wouldn't leave for UAL. There's just as many unknowns there as there are here if not more. They're years behind us in "merger synergies" and they've got a lot of changes coming up as well. Aka contract or seniority integration, base/aircraft shuffling etc |

I have a close friend (in my wedding close) who is a furloughed Delta guy who currently flies for FedEx. He's coming back.

The only way I could see this is if he/she lives in a dal base or hates night flying with a passion. Lol

1 Captain and 3 FO's too, amirite? And you know it'll be flown by Air France. And you'll be behind all of them in Customs. And there still won't be a separate crew bunk. however, is worth it. $15ST dollars to destroy the set of the View when Hassleback is on maternity leave for the sixth time is worth it. |
Hired with a guy who left DAL for UAL after 2 yrs. He made 777 f/o pretty quickly and then was furloughed pretty quickly. Not a happy camper now. We were May '97 hires. Hang in there, it's always about timing.
