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

Huh?

Interview before a flow? Wouldn't that just mean guaranteed interviews and at some sort of rate per month or class, not really a flow? That is what that sounds like to me.

They kick the degree requirement too?

You have always had to meet the minimum requirements of Delta even with the XJ flow, several of the guys in the lucky 100 so to speak don't have degree's and can't flow anyway.

My suggestion would be to get on board with flight ops to institute a program that if things aren't working out on the line, said pilot is sent back to 9E during their probationary period. That will weed out most of the issues.

My question is about DAL hiring minimums. Do all of the DCI guys have a 4 year degree? If not, is DAL going to drop this requirement or will they be required to get a degree?

What about seeing the shrink etc? If these guys don't have to do all of this then why did we do it in the first place? :confused:

If we are lucky enough to have some sort of an agreement with you guys I hope the shrink is part of it. I wish we had one already at pinnacle. I also hope that hats are mandatory as part of it and that we have mandatory classes on professionalism. Not for the 80% but for the 20%

forgot to bid

WE ARE NOT PAYING DUES MONEY TO FURTHER A DCI PILOT'S CAREER.

DALPA can't even adequately represent us. Wasting any of our dues money on pilots not on our list is inept, inane, and incomprehensible.

Just curious, where do you think your dues money goes? Your money, as well as mine, goes to every ALPA pilot at every ALPA airline. It doesn't just stay at Delta.....is it all a waste, or just for flow?

Several things about this stink to high heaven. I am getting pinged that D-ALPA had nothing to do with this. If true, are we then going to allow other MEC's to start cutting deals with Delta management for pilot employment? Then why not their own scope deals?

If President Moak signs an agreement which allows a regional airline MEC to bind Delta it will signal the end of the exclusive representational arrangement between Delta and the Delta MEC.

if that were the case, who would be paying for that shiny magazine? :)

And from what I am told by union leaders, most of the regionals ALPA stuff is subsidized by the Majors. Hard to survive on 1.95% of 40,000 times 1500 pilots :) It is spreading the dues around....
