New K is encouraged to sign things, isn't he? He's like Carroll Shelby is to Mustangs, right?

Every time NewK's ride lifts off, it is as if he signs the very sky....

So, we're paying mechanics to go chase down graffiti? I guess those MCOs can wait...

There is some downside though, as the higher paying equipment does somewhat subsidize the higher pay rate of the smaller equipment.

Now when you introduce a new piece of equipment that should generate more revenue and justify higher pay, we want it to pay more than the current category, but how long will it be before pilots start complaining that they aren't getting paid as much to fly the 320 as the 321?

This is one of the problems with pay banding.
That's why we should hate pay banding, and why managements love it so: we don't capture our share of incremental revenue. Bigger planes are generally more efficient, so the company wants to naturally field the highest gauge consistent with sufficient frequencies. This reduces our numbers, so we need to re-capture the loss, in proportion to the number of seats.

Something that seats more ought to pay more. A formula to that effect (which can also factor speed) would have ensured that the company couldn't squeeze more from each 737 and 88, without paying those pilots more. More butts = more revenue for DAL = more pay for us. And yes, absolutely: the 747 should pay much more than the 777.

Shortly after the DALPA guys come back to this board and start telling everyone how full of crap they are.

Considering the two primary DALPA guys are out of a job, it will be a bit more subtle from now on. Karnak pops up here and there, but that's about it.

With them out of FPL, and I gave Purple a warning to chill out... it may be a bit less colorful on that line of things.

This is specific graffitti that is being placed in M88 and M90, mainly around the FO's side of the cockpit and our "bag closet" in the back. It is something specific that got managements attention, I presume b/c it means something and they're ****ed!
Just a word of caution to whomever is doing it....
