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.

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?

300 to 600 to 800. Sounds like the chain of rumors via a pilot rumor mill to me.

If your interested I believe there is a "Latest And Greatest" podcast narration of the last 143767 posts narrated by Bill Murray. Well worth the download. :)

The 600-800 a year number sounds about right b

…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? :confused:

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.

:D

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

WH,

That would be great news. :) The Compass and Endeavor flows are limited to 25% of their respective lists per year (or something similar) so with an 800 target number plenty would be off the street and preferential interviews.
