Anybody else here banking with DCCU and really irritated with those Visa Fraud Prevention robo calls? I just got one and they wanted me to verify every transaction since Aug 4th. After about 5, I dialed zero and got "Mary" who sounded a lot like the Russian guy on that commercial. I told her that if I had fraudulent activity, I'd be calling her. Then, I called DCCU and asked them how to turn that crap off. She asked me if I notified them whenever I traveled......"uh, no, I'm an airline pilot, that would be impossible".... WTH?

3. which results in less pilots being off the line at training
4. which both result in less pilots needed
5. which all three result in cost savings to the company
6. which ALSO all result in stagnation for pilots, less QOL options, and fewer pilots being hired.

So you seriously think it would be a good thing to take an absolute reduction in pay, QOL, and advancement for the pilots, and then HOPE that somehow mgt will take that $$ and give it to the pilots via some unspecified contract win, rather than say buying GOL, Virgin Atlantic, stock buyback, mgt bonuses, or stockholder dividends.

Having a lottery could result somebody getting more money which could end up in my pocket TOO (if I happen to have an unknown relative or benefactor that wins, and then wills it all to me), but it's probably not a good basis for my financial planning.

Spot on, Roadkill!

OK looks like Johnso was right. OK looks like someone already posted but I will leave it here anyways.

"As I told the pilots in the lounge today, these are growth aircraft and they will increase our pilot staffing needs over the next several years. Stay tuned for more details. In the meantime, we expect to post an Advance Entitlement bid this week that will contain new narrowbody captain positions and we'll continue to post a series of small AEs for the foreseeable future as we take deliveries of the 717 and 737-900."

Isn't that the same guy who wanted us to believe Delta would start hiring in December...of 2012...if we just voted "yes?"

So I think I'll wait for a while to count these chickens.

Hey, it was just my backwards way of protecting you from J29. All of his positivity can be very intimidating.:D
