I got to see all of today's racing while sitting in the E lounge in the ATL, waiting to go to Dubai tonight. I'll miss the rest of the racing this weekend, unless it's on one of the channels in our Dubai hotel.

The Americans have a huge hole to climb out of, and the Kiwis only need to win one more, I'll bet it'll be over by Sunday.
Being in Dubai you should be able to watch it Live on the YouTube channel. Unless of course it is censored like everything else over there.

...designed to address the changing dynamics in Tokyo (HND and NRT) and the Asian/Pacific Theater and provide scope improvements for the Delta pilots.
This announcement is steeped in "we-just-rolled-over-for-the-company-again-and-now-we-have-to-brainwash-you-to-sell-it" language.

Maybe the delay in the 717 is because we messed up which 717s we are getting. Maybe SWA delivered some of these from the boneyard?



I know that you used to get 717 type for the 135 before Boeing and MD merged.

9E is pinnacle now Endeavor right? Since when has a more senior 9E person been higher on the non rev list than an active Delta employee?! This doesn't seem correct?!!??!

How in the hell are the 717 and the 135 remotely connected as a type?

The KC-135 was originally known as the 717.

That's what our union brought us to ratify before Section 6 even began during a hugely profitable year for Delta. It's not my opinion, it's Richard and Ed's opinion.



So that's why our MEC brought us a cost neutral TA to sign. Delta's profits weren't "truly" record. [face palm]

Tell ya what.. Let's do a "cost neutral" contract next time too. The DTW 744 captains will swap pay checks with 215 DTW gate agents!

It'll be "cost neutral" for the company in the eyes of the investment community.. Not convinced the gate agents will think it's "cost neutral"....

The "cost" was taken out of DCI engine maintenance and block hour payments to OTHER AIRLINES and put into the Delta pilot PWA.

Neutral to the enterprise? Well, yes....

Neutral to the pilots? Well, there's more than a Billion reasons that isn't true.

Airport standby removal list should have them in correct order.

Not sure how they slot on "their" equipment (that we bought and pay for).
