I'm just going to continue hoping that SD's memo had a typo and he forgot to change 2012 to 2013. ;)

I didn't vote for C2012, but I hope I'm 63% wrong.

Agreed. And 3 is right next to 4 so...:eek:

Man how do we go from "widebodies and hiring on Friday" to "maybe they got their year mixed up"?

I give you 37% of the credit then for our stock prices 52wk high being double the 52wk low.

Hey Scoop,

Just did some scouting for you on DeltaNet (at home bored with a new born). Looks like you guys go S3 on all DCI flights except for Skywest and Expressjet (ASA) where you go S3C. This is because of Skywest's agreement with Delta that puts DAL employees behind Skywest employees on Skywest Inc. metal. On Pinnacle you will go S3 just as Pinnacles employees do, so DOH is the determining factor. All other DCI employees will go S3C on Pinnacle. I don't think S2s work at all on DCI anymore. At Compass we used to get six S2s per year and traveled S3 on DAL as well, prior to the sale. Hope this helps.

Cliff note version: You will be S3 on pinnacle (not S3C) and I'm 90% sure your S2 won't work.

In the past I have sat many times on the door 3 757 FA jump ANC-MSP at the end of a 12 day trip after working HKG-KIX-ANC or TPE-NRT-ANC. I'm on the 88 so the legs are not too long, and truthfully the FA jumpseat is better. At least you can stand. I also will sit in a cockpit jumpseat (as long as there are no other online, offline pilots trying for it) on a DH or PS to training if it helps get another non rev junior to me on.

Yeah, only 300+ displaced to lower paying equipment. And you TA road show warriors could only talk about the potential growth and hiring if we just vote YES. Who'd a thunk?

We are employed by an airline making record profits, and we're displacing 300+ pilots to lower paying equipment. Which will likely continue as 737-900's are delivered.

It's damn painful to watch my more junior brothers suffer through this kind of backward movement and stagnation. Especially when our "network" grows.
