Stay humble. He's worth every penny of it. TIC.

Thanks again! I went to go stick the latest revision in and noticed it was missing. Now if they would just get rid of that LOC BC into MLB that I had to brief.

If you see your FO tell him I appreciate it.

On Reserve

I didn't care to read the previous 14376 pages about Delta, but here's what I was just informed tonight from a captain.

In the coming year of 2014, Delta may be hiring up to 800 pilots. Although, the vast majority, if enough, will be taken from Compass and Endeavor within the next four years.

Not aimed at you NewK, but I think you guys are looking at this from the wrong perspective. Delta does these things for the FA's to show them they don't need a Union, Ma Delta will take care of them...

Quick reserve question. After SC am I free from duty, i.e. Do I have to answer the phone right away for a LC assignment?

…one of our flight attendants showed us the pictures she took of the FULL BUFFET (Turkey, dressing, pumpkin pie, etc.) they had in the flight attendant lounge at the same time.

I brushed it off, because I thought she might have been playing a joke on us.

But, now all I can say is: Really?

Did the flight attendants really have a buffet in JFK the day before Thanksgiving, too?

Come on. SD said, "Stay humble."

What is there to be confused about?

Oh, "don't get greedy" when looking at that FA buffet. Eat your sandwich.

We could keep that on the low side with some vacation liquidations.
