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

So according to the union the cumulative staffing impact difference between with or without C2012 through 2013 was predicted to be 180 (757-577). How many pilots did we have in the 717 category at the end of 2013; 289? Did the mainline grow by 26 aircraft in 2013? How many pilots returned from MLOA or Furlough by-pass to fill active categories? How many pilots got a captain upgrade in 2013? What were the staffing levels in 2012 vs 2013? Were we overstaffed in 2012? If so, by how much and how does that compare to 2013?

Anyone know for certain if I say "else next bid group" does it go to Reduced lower limit (if I select it) or if next bid group is always a reserve bid?

If I thought something was missing from my timecard for last month, I'd be calling the Company and then DALPA scheduling (if I didn't like the Company's answer) and asking Monday morning first thing. Your January timecard isn't going to change now unless you do. (I'm guessing it should have been calculated a while ago.)

FL can be a great place to live but don't let the lack of income tax sway you. It's still a very high tax state. They just get it in other areas like property tax. Expect to pay 2.25 percent in most counties on a purchase now.

Well, the tax collector is gonna have to come to my trailer park and pry it out of my cold, dead hand!

Seems to be a whole lot of " irrational anger being caused by emotional blindness" going on, huh Shiznit?

I recently came across something on the DeltaNet before Flight Ops page format was changed. It had an email address but didn't state what was expected to be sent via that email.
Just wondering if there was additional steps that could be taken to help a brother out?

I sent a couple sentence message to the selection address prior to their interview day just to reiterate my support. My guys went four for four. It may have been helpful or it may be I'm friends with people much nicer than me. It's worth a shot.

Just FYI... if you are thinking about buying DAL stock, do it before the 19th.

That email address is supposed to help someone out who you think is special. That being said, I did that for 2 guys and neither one has gotten an interview yet (and they are qualified).

I just sent a short note giving the name and a little summary of the rec I had written. Maybe I'm doing it wrong?

I did the same. I did get an email back to my Delta email from the hiring dept. saying the app will be pulled and looked at.
