I sure hope so for all those involved.

Good Luck everyone, Delta is head and shoulders the best of the 4 airlines I have worked for!

As a side note my buddy at Compass MEC said Delta told them 115 on Friday. Don't quote me but that seems a little high as if I recall the max was 25% of the list on any given 12 months based on the seniority list as of Aug 2010. I don't believe in Aug. 2010 we had 460 pilots. Something to watch. I sure hope Delta brings in a good mix of Military guys/gals. Even though I was civilian it sure was nice to have the wide spectrum of ideas and experiences.
Vikz,

CPZ has 446 pilots on the July 2013 list (451 on the April 2013 list). The July bid packet has 441 pilots listed (Management pilots are not in the bid packet), 216 Captains and 225 FO's.

This is a few years old from when I commuted there.

Airtrain to Federal Circle, stay to the right and there are a couple vans parked there that go to the cargo area.

How could a 5300 be a furlough bypass?

That's what I'm wondering. He's a 1990 NW hire. What is this I don't even?

The next number is 87xx. Strange.

That's exactly the way I talk.

The whole TDU thing is actually derived from what NW used to do pre-merger.

yeah they changed the PBS denial methodology. It's in the last PBS notes doofer they sent out 2 weeks ago or so. Honestly it all sounded much better and a good improvement. I was just surprised by the results... it gave me everything I asked, I just apparently never knew before how many totally crappy trips met all my criteria that were being denied before lol.

Could have been a voluntary furlough. Seems like I remember that we had a voluntary furlough program at some point along the way.

I think at one point we had some voluntary. # 1 could take it if they wanted.

*** Takeoff Data Upload: Sweet Function. Just back yourself up. We were provided with the wrong data a couple nights ago. One check of the Paper WDR showed us how gross the error was.

I don't remember if they're were voluntary furloughs back in 02'. If so - makes sense.
