Empty. And my understanding is in AirTran and not Delta paint. That'd be funny. "Delta 9230 in AirTran colors" or however that works.
Did anyone save that crew planning news memo? I want to see what it had said.
Given the timing of the new bodies, the unfilled 717 slots will be slated for newbies and displacements to "fund" positions will slow to a trickle or cease. It was just illogical on the latest crew planning news that they could even think of "funding" the 717 slots with continued displacements.

I don't think that they can skip the interview.
Do realize they are our alter ego and they fly Delta passengers every day. Hiring them is ministerial.
Since we allow multiple standards in our contracts it is common sense that management is eager to advantage themselves to the less costly standard. In the past Delta pilots have insisted on industry leading pay based on the belief that Delta's selection process made us worth it. IMHO the Pinnacle bridge agreement was designed to demonstrate pilots who value their own skills much less than their peers are Delta pilot material.
Nearly every regional airline management is using the Pinnacle Bridge Agreement to justify concessions to remain competitive.

This was based on 100 new hires a month in 2014...

Asiana Crash KTVU-TV Report: Airline Says TV Station Damaged Its Reputation (VIDEO)
Apparently this report is damaging Asiana's reputation, not the fact that one of their B777's crashed landed.

In related news, Cory Monteith was found dead.

Systems cd for class
Hi guys/gals. Can someone tell me how much that thumb drive you go through before class is worth in terms of hours? I've looked in a bunch of places but can't find an answer. I'm doing the 717 systems thumb drive.
Thanks in advance. :-)

Read what the other people have said about that. Compass flows ( not sure about Mesaba) were interviewed BY NWA and Delta HR/Line pilots. It was the same interview - the psych eval. No skipping.
After the merger CP got the exact same test and interview format that Delta uses. It sucks that so many spots are taken already. I understand it hurts your MIL buddies ( and myself/many others) but it is what it is. Please keep in mind too it's not their fault, Management came up with the agreements. I have heard alot of stories of guys acting bitter towards flows because " they took their MIL buddies spot". Don't be that guy.

He broke his back and was medically retired from NWA and has pain that is very hard to manage. I know and respect him, but stop telling people that having him Comp HR were able to give the same interviews as NWA did or Delta does.
"I understand it hurts", but a trip to psych eval in downtown ATL or a 20 min conversation with AK would probably cut many Compass guys.
Just my emotionless opinion.

Just under 6 hours pay. It will show up on your time card once you enter the completion code in DBMS. I think it was 5:46.
