I'm a little confused on the new jumpseat memo. I'm DAL-S. As of August 23rd, are we going to be able to reserve a DAL-N jumpseat? Are the procedures going to change at all?

Completely in their right to do so based on seniority but it doesn't stop from hurting.....especially when they wouldn't of have had that option without the merger. What did we get out of the deal? DTW and MSP.....SWEET!

It cuts both ways. I was fine with they way things were before the merger was announced, I was happy, living in base, flying an airplane i liked, now my airplane is getting shipped off to SLC, and I will probably get to commute to JFK, I am dealing with it, so should you.

I would also like to add that a vast majority of DAL-s folks I have met have been warm and welcoming, it is just the unhappy vocal minority (mostly junior) crying about they got the shaft at the hands of DAL-N pilots. If you wanted a life plan and stablitity, your in the wrong profession.

I understand this will be good for us in the long run, just not now for a few of us.

Chente,

Noticed you just joined us one here recently. Welcome. :)

I think guys(both DAL-N & DAL-S) are getting defensive with you because those of us who have been on this board for a while have been through your point over & over & over. We do understand your point, & it does stink. It's not that we aren't sympathetic, it's just that we are all working hard to avoid a UsAir/America West Debacle. We don't want endless bickering. We want for everyone to move on(not implying that you aren't) so we can work together and truly make the Best Global Airline.

Cheers. :)
