Did you try out for the part and get turned down, or something?

New K. <--Just trying to make a correct observation.

NewK,

He's jealous about not being able to wiggle his finger in the safety videos like Delta-Lina.

Well now, that is totally understandable.

True. Delta will trust, but also verify. I recall a new-hire in the late 2000 or 2001 timeframe who was hired, trained and flying the line as a 737B...until his background check was fully completed.

As I recall, his college credentials were not what he claimed. Not surprisingly, he was terminated. They do take the time to verify, though it can take awhile...

Some new changes to our retirement accounts are in the works. The DC plan is going away with all deposits going into DPSP. You will have full access to the money in your retirement accounts.

I think there is an LOA that says we can only fly routes that compete wth Alaska using RJs. That way we don't take too much of little brother's candy.

I KNEW the company was going to pay us back for letting them go on Pacific scope!

Seriously though, good change. Two separate accounts is just confusing.

How insanely obsolete will they be in two years??

Does anyone know if we'll get real-time satellite weather, lightning strikes, etc? Like the guy in 2C gets now?

Purple,

I spoke with a member of the eLink team in the ATL crew room a few months ago. They absolutely are shooting to give us that technology. Also spoke of setting up the software so that as the aircraft decelerates after landing, a certain speed(maybe 60 kts) triggers the 10-9 to pop up and replace the approach plate you were referencing.
