I am surprised that ATL M88 got whacked so hard because the reserves are flying alot but I hate to say it the category reaps what is sows. They pick up so much time via WS and GS the company sees this and staffs the category accordingly. I hope guys dont pick up so much stuff this summer and the company gets burned. If you try to run to lean watch out. It is smart to be fiscally prudent but I think this may border on DUMB.

Good luck to all affected

You're not kidding. Most folks at MSP are either local or it is their only 1 leg commute option. This will be painful. Maybe it's time for the Norskies to invade the deep south.:D

Well so long 757/767 and all the time off! Whoo hoo!

Well, congrats to Captain Flanigan... I doubt we'd ever see anyone sit #1 for 8 years again.

Riiiight. The next AE will be the "good" one. Pull the other finger.

I love the use of the phrases "we believe" and "most likely." Kinda like: "we may need to start the hiring process 4th quarter of '12."

Not impressed. 5 of those years were stolen. He should have retired at 60 like all those before him. It's hard to celebrate the stagnation caused by guys like him.

Just MSP??? How about it sucks to be a FO anywhere at DAL, just like it has sucked for the last 13 years.


From an earlier post by Sailing:


The union and the company both costed the jobs out at almost the same number. The company has looked at the contract and the coming FTDT changes and plans zero adjustments in how they man the airline.
You state we have lost as many as 1000 jobs. Where are the massive displacements to support your numbers? The last two bids had a substantial net increase in Captains jobs. The bid to be posted next month should have a net increase in Captains of well over 100 jobs. How do you explain that if your numbers are even remotely right? Put some numbers up, show us where you get 1000 or more jobs lost.



83 Net Captain positions with numerous NB aircraft on order. Glad that I didn't save the good champagne for this bid! :eek:

Pretty Lame

Scoop :mad:

Ouch, Denny what is gonna happen to you? Didn't you JUST finish 330 school?

the 5 most shocking...
DTW330CAPT 20
ATL777F/O 15
SEA330CAPT 9
MSP320CAPT 11
MSPM88CAPT 16

Wonder how many MSP guys will go to the 55 DTW73N positions,or will they go to the 145 ATL717s?
Poor Msp guys. First they said CVG and MEM can't coexist.They basically eliminated those two and now they're killing MSP?? don't get it.

NYC faired ok, have to wait on the "pin action."
