Did you see the Chairman's letter today? I definitely think that is being communicated...

That's some seriously stupid driving there in MKE. I like the guy at the 1:00 mark who comes in fast, exits stage right into the boonies, perhaps never to be seen again.

PM sent....

Can you spare a pm my way?

No problem. Sent. I would post here but not sure what the rules are RE MEC letters. Basically Donatelli says he has been meeting with line pilots throughout the domestic (and some international) lounges to gather feedback. He mentions pay, aggressively representing pilots over 117 issues and acknowledges general pilot concerns.

Nope. Gonna check it out



Edit: Great letter which confirmed that he and the MEC understand what the majority wants. Compensation.

Glad we have MD as Chairman. With that said, we all know what has been said before about words and actions.

Got to wonder what TC is thinking today as he begins what appears to be his journey towards being a footnote in history.

Delta Air Lines Price Target Increased to $40.00 by Analysts at JPMorgan Chase & Co. (DALRQ) | WKRB News

Some interesting numbers...If DAL goes to $40/share (I personally think it will but have no crystal ball) Delta will have a market cap of $34 Billion. Current market cap is $26.19 Billion.

Some comparisons are as follows:

UAL: $16.5B (@ current price $45.84)
AAL: $11.26B (@ current price $33.55)
LUV: $15.3B (@ current price $20.95)
ALK: $5.44B (@ current price $79.07)
JBLU: $2.46B (@ current price $8.76)

We need more money AND more time off.

Let's not get wrapped up in hourly rates and give away the farm on work rules.

I would also like to see the word "grievance" somewhere--anywhere--in an MD memo.

Agree with the Manager...actions count; not words.

Well we have a saying in cat racing (like auto racing); If you ain't crashing (at least once in awhile) you ain't trying.

The good news is, unlike crashing autos, both the boat and you can quickly get upright and continue racing. Swimming is slower than sailing so we try not to flip, obviously.

But just like the kids in that video, when you are running on the edge and then you hit a big wave or a big gust comes along, you get pushed over the edge. It's all good clean fun though. ;)

Call to deviate from the deadhead and hit 2, 2, 3. See what happens! That should auto deviate you from back end DH. Check your Sched. Reroutes like this are so stupid they are almost funny.
