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.

The spigot staying open would be based on the economy (what could possibly go wrong), and no more mergers.

 

Not sure if anyone saw this, but iCrew Mobile for iPhone is available for new subscriptions again.

Delta A346s!!!! That'd be fun. Imagine one of our terminals with the 744, 777, 330, 346, 763, 764 at one time!!

It'd be like our domestic side with DC95s, 320s, 319s, 739s, 752s, 738s, 763s, M88s, 737s, M90s, 717s, 753s.

I guess fleet commonality is not something we believe in.

 

$72 for a one year subscription ($36 schedule/$36 open time) I think that's what I read. I think that's an improvement from earlier prices.

Does anyone know if it will work the same, or will it require you to log on with a username and password everytime you use it (kind of lock the content locker)?

 

My subscription carried through the testing/security phase. It's changed now so every download you put in your password once (assuming it's synced). No username required though. The $36/$36 price is correct.

BTW, statistically speaking hiring seems to be linked to DAL stock trading above $12/share....

P.S.: PM sent to Shiz with past 22D3 reports

 

Called for my tax report from Flight Crew Solutions on Thursday and got the report in my email the next day.

For the AE I will have a VD to the NYC 7ER off the ATL88 at a %. Ready to try some new type of flying.
