Quote: Couple of snippets from today's C1 update. Hopefully it helps get this thread back on track. I'd post some underboob, if only I knew how!


Hiring: We anticipate a nominal amount of hiring in 2014; currently estimating 60 per month January–June, then 20 per month.

New Aircraft: Delta is pursuing an order for 8–12 wide-body aircraft for delivery starting in 2015. These will be used for fly from West Coast (SEA/LAX) to Asia (HKG, PVG, PEK) with the ability to over-fly NRT/HND.
Ah the wb order rumor rears its head again!

Napoleon Dynamite and some Torpedo, what a way to pass the time in the crashpad.
Quote: I don't always agree with your political tirades, but I think you're onto simething here. You're looking back on the Bush Lorenzo-is-always-welcome-at-my-dinner-table-no-PEB-for-you-New-World-Order presidencies, and their desire to help the little guy at the expense of big business, their protectionist approach, and their ruthless clamping down on government largesse towards the military-industrial complex, and you're thinking "now, THOSE GUYS, those guys would really have my back", and weeping soft tears of nostalgia. Right?
I am a bit at a loss as to how to respond to that... but I will say this and leave you to draw your own conclusions. Current rhetoric ALWAYS talks about how evil big corporations are. And how much more "rich folks" need to help out. Rich "folks"... anyway, without evil big corporations employing people, then I guess that leaves only "rich folks" to pay the tax bills... right? And just who might that be?
So I've completed my updated category list analysis... plugged in all the numbers, and it turns out that FINALLY after the last 5 years, I have actually moved UP in percentage of spot held, in most categories 7ERB and below. Moved up 1-2% mostly. Seattle got more senior though, lost power there.

However, I did notice that all the B positions I can't hold, 744/765/330, the numbers of spots available have dropped, and the junior guy got more senior. So basically the senior spots have been reduced. That doesn't affect me, but guys 1997-2000 will have felt that.

So, I'm going to take this as GOOD NEWS, as I've been waiting forever for a seniority % gain on a cat list. I am therefore drinking some Sierra Nevada Torpedo, recommended to me by many on this thread. I can report it is quite good, but probably does not mix with ACTUALLY buckling down and doing your taxes...

My filing with worksheets was 171 pages long. Have fun.

Our tax code is completely out of control.
Quote: This is a total non sequitur argument. Neither of us are making any such claim. This is about policy, not handouts. The US government will gladly let DAL/UAL/LCC fail on one hand while actively supporting carriers like emirates with ExIM bank loans. Or maybe I am wrong in my view of this...

Or was your comment to 80 aimed at me?
My response was towards you and is mainly based on what I have seen you post on another board. You are probably the least anonymous person on APC. (Plus, we have PM'ed in the past.)

But, this is not the place for politics and that is the only place this discussion will go. I knew that when I posted. But, I couldn't resist. I had to needle you.

I think that means you just didn't beg long enough.

I do like Florida football, ya know. (But, surprisingly don't like the basketball team. )

He looks angry.

Speaking of out of control...

I'm getting that ecrew/icrew nastygram pop-up when I sign in that I have to change my pass word (again).

YGTBFSM! Why is it that Fidelity is fine with not changing it, my credit card companies are fine with it being the same (for a decade), my bank is okay with it, but Delta the most technologically challenged company of the bunch, requires it be changed every 90 days. ARRRGH!

Does anyone have a method to fix this once and for all? Please PM me a solution!

It's the new revolving password each quarter to increase security, but has been proven to be less secure at most companies. People will write down the new one and stick it on their computer or have a base with revolving numbers corresponding to the quarter like myself and most other pilots I know.
