Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

The DPA goes after more Delta pilots ... turns them into management for alleged violations of Delta's "Social Media Policy."

Correction ... not new news. I thought it was new because it hit my inbox right behind their lawsuit against an un named "John Doe" who they state repeatedly is a Delta pilot.

Can you be a little more specific than that? What were the circumstances?

This needs further explanation. Can't just fart and walk out of the room, Bar.

Bar-
You're looking at the DPA "surge" event. That was 3 years ago.

You are right ... just hit my inbox :confused:

Shows you how up to date I am on DPA stuff.

Have to admit, I did not give them a lot of scrutiny until their lawsuit.

I always thought Delta management would have been smart to pay minutes under as pay no credit on top of the normal pay. If you were scheduled for 2 hours and came in 15 minutes under block you got 2 hours pay and credit and 15 minutes straight pay. I bet they would see a dramatic reduction in block times and save a bunch of money not to mention need fewer pilots. Delta pilots would however soon have the same rep as SW pilots for cutting corners to save time. Hopefully as pilots we would be smart enough to see past the extra cash and refuse such a deal however there would be a lot of guys who would love it.

Reminds me of my first job.

My Boss would come into my office, pass a silent but deadly, then run back to his office just as the stink wafted across the room and call on the intercomm to enquire, "hey, did I leave something in there?"

We had a babe of a secretary who must have thought I ate smoked Oysters with Collard Greens for breakfast.
