Have I recently read that people are experiencing delays with expense reports by Flightline?

"Would you rather have it terrible or just awful?"

It should have been done right.

If this is the best ALPA can do when the company's making billions, I'd say you've done a magnificent job lowering expectations.

I put in for mine in December. Just received it yesterday. I would call that a delay.

Then what enhancements do you propose? Unlimited, unmonitored, paid personal leave? Is that what Delta owes you for being a company making billions of dollars? Conversely the passengers could suggest they want a fraction of their ticket price back by the same logic. Would you support that?

It was done right. You're digging deep on this one. A truly honorable and honest pilot group wouldn't need ALPA's protection from a sick leave investigation at all. In this case though, ALPA went to bat for those who insisted on abusing an already fair system.

Any chance we can get some of these to haul our gear during gate changes in ATL?



And one with a head to deal with rowdy PAX?

I'll be passing through MSP on Sunday, 11am arrival, 1pm departure, you going to be at the airport then or already at the hotel?

If my 1pm DV8DH ride home breaks or cnx, I will be inclined to head to the hotel for some beer taste-testing.
