Yeah, agree completely. Just observing and talking to guys when we do bounces for landing currency.

RA has always been willing to pay for labor peace, even at NWA. I think he struck gold doing it here, because like I said, this place would have been a USAir style train wreck if we would have furloughed after the merger.

I was skeptical about the lack of fences after the SLI too. But, I also think it has done wonders to get us together quickly and moving forward. Add in positive IT initiatives to make the operation run smoother and we are set to kick some serious butt in the near future.

I wish we would grow because I think we are leaving money on the table around the world....for sure domestically with our current load factors. But, then again you need to be glad I ain't runn'en this place:o

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.

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.

We are under the RLA, not the NLRB, but maybe it could set a precedent.

Correct. They may end up with two policies, but that ruling does not cover the DAL pilot until a new ruling is made that applies to us.
