As far as I can tell they're doing well and I have no reason to doubt them.

What I'd like to hear from Network is what they think of multiple regional carriers.

i suspect they don't care as long as they can efficiently cover the schedule. They don't see it the way we do.

The result for delta is more asm reductions and a flat outlook. Add to this that DAL is now asking for Mil Leave documentation and Mil leave returnees are peaking. Like it or not, the need that was there or not there is no longer there for added pilots not on the seniority list until 2014 according to the latest update.

Maybe. It seems to me that I was hearing rumors of them pushing back on the need for hiring long before November 6th, though.

Non stop grumpiness for sure. I think we've permanently lost some who were everyday participants because of it.

That and the 1 sided cheer leading and insult throwing by a dominant few.

Yes, because those dominant few never have mud slung at them. And they're never responding to non stop DALPA bashing by a certain few. ;)

Will this change Delta's social media policy?

Facebook


Job seekers have already heard any number of nightmare stories about people who learned a hard lesson in the age of social media. Companies visit social sites to check out potential candidates, and if you’re the one asking to be hired, you don’t want your named tagged in Facebook photo of you dancing drunkenly on a bar in a bikini (especially if you’re a guy).
That’s a deal-breaker for someone knocking on a company’s door looking for work. Once on the inside, employees find large and small businesses alike very protective of their own online reputations. The web has proven to be a great equalizer, for better and for worse, and all it takes is a few discouraging words or downturned thumbs to scare away customers. Employee manuals commonly include strict rules about what can and can’t be said online, even from private accounts — with a threat of terminating the employee for violating policy.

No can do, says the National Labor Relations Board.
The NLRB, first formed to protect unions, says workers have the same right to discuss work on Facebook, Twitter, and other social networks as they do at the water cooler. Barring a breach of confidentiality, employers cannot fire you for talking trash online.
Specific guidelines are yet to be determined, but recent rulings and advisories by labor regulators have made blanket restrictions on disparaging comments about managers, co-workers, or a company illegal, according to a report in The New York Times. The NLRB has even ordered the reinstatement of some workers previously fired for such violations.

The new rulings will reshape the social-media policies of companies in the private sector. As the Times notes, the new employee protections come at a time when schools, universities, government agencies, and corporations are debating what constitutes appropriate online discussion.

They are doing a great job also IMHO.

I really don't think network guys give a flying hoot how many regional airlines are in the DAL network.. It is a matter of seats in coach, economy comfort and first class that matters, they are all just steel tubes with a max occupancy, from 9E/DL/AF/VS... Pretty sure it doesn't matter at all for the ticketing and revenue modeling.
