I don't get the arguments against LGBP. We all complain about stagnation or downward displacements. To me this is all alleviated withLGBP. It also completely rewards seniority. If Cal Flannigan wanted to do island turns on a 757 it would have cost him $40/hr or more. With LGBP he bids what he wants. It costs him nothing. Company gets rid of all WBs costs us nothing. Company adds 200 WBs it costs them nothing more.

If you can see them, but not some of the other A's, then you are doing it right, but the others which are giving you the "Authentication Error" page aren't fully loaded into the system yet. Try again later.
Delta (lack of) Technology; using yesterday's technology for tomorrow!
Hey, at least they are getting them out well ahead of the 17th, which is the only date the company is required to have them posted, per the contract.
You KNOW they want them all done and posted before they go home for the weekend tomorrow at 4pm.

A steak dinner says that the 747s will not be replaced with 747s. So at least we did something right.

Yup. Exactly. When the 747s go to the boneyard, a whole lot of people are gonna take a paycut. How is that a good thing? (And I am just using them as an example because they are older and more expensive to operate than 777s) Oh, that's right, the company might buy 100 more 777s. bwaaaa haaaa haaaa
Ever since I found out the 787 is about the size of a 767, and will probably pay the same, and the 737 is going to replace the 757, I have thought Longevity Based Pay makes a lot more sense for 90% of us.
What I want to know is, why doesn't the Whale pay a whole lot MORE than the 777? Until we change over to LGBP, that's just wrong. An airplane with about 150 more seats should pay a whole lot more.
Of course, as soon as we change over to that system, the company will order 100 A380's and 747-800s'!

You may be doing it wrong....
I just checked mine, it was there, and it looked like all the Capt's boxes had X's in them, and a few F/O's as well.
I don't do it as above, I simply click on the June awards, then highlight the address bar, go to where it says "JUN/jun" replace that with: JUL/jul and hit enter.
I thought my 70hr. line for June sucked....until I saw my 67hr. line for July!!
Gonna have to do some very creative swapping/dropping to make it into a 75hr. line.
Please can we bring back the 75hr. cap and bow wave??

Note that the URL is case sensitive. "JUL/jul". It took me a while to catch that detail.
FWIW I'm in the training center and was told it is being expressed as "official" that interviewing will start in the fall for classes in early 2014 at 30 per month for the foreseeable future.

Interesting bump in our stock, this afternoon. The only correlation I see is an announcement that we're on track to reduce debt to $10B in 2013.
Anyone else?

I do think they will HAVE to hire to stay competitive with UAL and AA.

blah blah blah. All 36 of 'em. woo hooo. I guess though it is great if you are in the top 500 and are 60 years old. For most of us, not so much. And when those super premium aircraft go away... and make no mistake, they will someday.... what then?
