In my home state, hopefully in yours, when they send you jury duty notice, they give you a date that you are obligated. It also says if you cannot do that date, write in the date you can, send it back and they'll make that your jury duty week. Every time I write in Christmas week and they give it to me. When I get the new notice with Chriatmas week, I send that to the company and Walla, no workie on Christmas week. The big bonus is that no lawyer or judge is going to work that week either and you never get called.

I've heard the same, but who's to say it's not just propaganda to keep us appeased during this rough IROP riddled summer?

thank goodness for the cq or id been out on a 4 day instead of a 3 day helping to keep hiring to a minimum.

I wonder what alv+15 cost in upgrades and hiring?

You must be on an International category, we were told the ALV+15 concessionary giveaway will not effect domestic reserve pilots. :D

e.

If anything I suspect the opposite is true. The company is downplaying hiring and airplane orders are "replacement" because Wall Street hates airline capacity growth. RA is doing the best he can to get our stock price up in time for the next merger.

Yeah, airlines are lying about capacity and nobody on wall street is smart enough to add. GMAB.

RE: Microsoft Surface Tablets.

Can we start an APC petition to save management from making a huge mistake?
Is there nobody in Delta's IT department with a clue?
Windows 8 sucks. The Surface sucks.

Its not too late.
I know management is wedded to Microsoft but they need to face reality.
The writing is on the wall. Microsoft tablets are like the Sony Betamax VCRs.

Would it be possible to organize an "intervention"?

The can add up the orders and "announced" retirements, but there is no deadline on when all the airplane retire. How many times have the DC9s been scheduled to retire?
