Do you get out much? Wow, have you ever heard of trying to make a point? OK, since you seem to not be able to pick up on what I putting down, let me spell it out for you: You would be a model citizen of the DPRK. Someone points out loss of capacity and you're all Rah, Rah!! Your "Deal with it or leave." is just classic. Only Yes men wanted here. Too funny!

 

as long as RA is there I'll hold the stock.

 

It will be 37.5% of the flying involved in that particular JV.(given a 50/50 revenue split)

If VAtl is rolled into the AF/KL/AZ JV that is governed separately and would have to be re-negotiated, but DAL pilots have a 50% share (current trend notwithstanding! )

Other part of our scope says that once we acquire 25% or more of a foreign carrier than the block hours that DAL pilots fly between the US and the home country of the foreign carrier cannot be reduced.(US-UK total block hours)

 

WHEN MD-80'S ATTACK!!!!!!!!!!!!



A visitor from Germany posted Tue January 22, 2013:

 

Bar: When do MD-80s not attack? Really? Do we need to go over your evaluation again FTB?



Shooting? Fail.

Physical? Fail.

Spelling? Fail.

Grammar? Oh my, fail. Not good.

Historical context? Not good.

Shows substance abuse issues... substance being a Toshiba Satellite L775 purchased for $350 at Best Buy.

 

What's the thought on the C-Series for DAL?

Too new? Don't buy new for mainline?

I think the first airplane off the production line is kind of funny. Everybody oohs and aahs over it and then five years later you avoid that particular airframe like it's Sandra Flu... the plague.

 

I guess I'll have to spell it out for you. A reduction in Delta Air Lines capacity does not always equate to a reduction in mainline capacity. IDK why, but a lot of people here seem to have a tough time comprehending that. When management is speaking to investors WRT capacity, a reduction in domestic capacity includes RJ flying.

Yes, there will be a further reduction in capacity over the Atlantic. That's no suprise though. Yields across the Atlantic blow, and they have for years. That's why Virgin Atlantic, Air France/KLM, Lufthansa, etc are losing money. So why would you want your employer to expand into a market that is a losing proposition? Just so you can upgrade, only to be pushed back to the right seat due to annual losses and furloughs?

Now, absolutely no where did I "Rah rah" a reduction in capacity. I simply started "Bye-bye more 50 seaters." If you twisted that into anything other then the words that were typed, that's on you. What I do "Rah-rah", is a management team that has the foresight to know what actions need to be taken in order to make our airline(and industry) a profitable one. It's obvious the method of injecting capacity at rapid rates is a flawed/failed method at best. The foresight of our management team has prevented furloughs over the last several years. Remember in 2009 when UAL furloughed over 1000 pilots? Or when CAL furloughed? Or Us Air? Or Alaska? Or how AA still had hundreds on furlough? Heck, even the ULCC Spirit furloughed. And Delta furloughed 0 pilots. But obviously none of that is relevant to you. You live in a fantasy land where losses aren't real, growth can happen any time, and economics play no part in the way a business runs. RA and the gang are just being mean & sticking it to the pilots, right?

I'm sorry you don't like my suggestion on leaving. You don't seem happy here though, so I'm not sure why.

 

Dang man your scaring me. I just decided to take them up on that 6 months of free management on my DAL retirement stuff. Not like I was doing anything with it but letting it sit in a target date fund, but that target date fund had been doing pretty decent over the last 2 or 3 years...like most of the market.

 

I use them Xtreme....I'm pretty happy with them.

 

Equally as important, how many HAVE to to make ends meet?
