Who's hoping for bad news? I was crossing my fingers that I would be very very wrong and this would be very positive. It's far far far from that. 6 years in and I'm looking at getting displaced off of a narrowbody... 5 years ago I was holding a line 3-4 months out of the year on a widebody in ATL.

Left seat 727 at 9 years for me, but plenty of 9/11 displacement, pay cuts, and stagnation for this deadzoner since. I'm still having a blast; I like coming to work; I like the people I fly with; and this company is being managed better than anytime in my career. I'm positive about the future. Sue me for being positive. It's a better way to live - imo.
Are there legit gripes? Absolutely. Is DALPA perfect? Not even close. I am however, still very happy to be here. Want to cry about an unfair world? Feel free. I'm not going to join in or commiserate. I will hand you a tissue though.
Flt Ops is still fighting to begin hiring this year. When hiring starts the spigot will stay open for a decade. Very possible 321's w/330's on the way. Economy actually showing signs of life. Company estimating only 25% to 30% stay to 65. Signs of DAL life on West Coast. If only a 1/3d of what RA is planning happens, we are in for a rocket ship ride over the next 15yrs.

I love the job, love coming to work... the continued stagnation (promoted by a few as "growth") gets frustrating at times, particularly with a big bid like this.

The father has retired from DAL. He did a lot of good to DAL, cut a lot of people who should not be here. He started airlineapps to help the industry finally get info on perspective pilots organized. Not sure if he is running it or sold out.
The son is a pilot at DAL.
Both are great guys!

The bad news is real. When the RFP results in an actual purchase, announced delivery dates, an AE with training that negates many of the soon to be MD'd I'll happily eat crow. Till then it's just blowing a sunshine you know where.

Does he think he's talking to people who didn't look at the AE? When he does his taxes does he also forget the negative numbers?
