Got it. Trust the company, they know what they're doing.

That is about all you can do. They run the business.

In many contracts today and prior to about 2001 at Delta furlough time did not count for anything. DALPA was the first union to push for and get longevity credit for furlough time. For those on long furloughs it is very significant improvement. It made for some nice pay bumps also for some NW pilots. They did not have it in their contract.
It also used to be and perhaps still is that if you took a voluntary leave you also lost seniority. That surprised at least one person I know.

He was right about the merger, management structure and consolidation. He was wrong about the treatment of employees. Delta is still a good place to work and improving .....[/QUOTE]

How can you say that? Have you read this forum???

I suggest if we're doing overflights that we go after the Pacific with the giganto-poodle's much hotter younger sister:

Alright, we need to think this through.

Kate Upton stands 5'10" and bra size is... well, I don't know. There was a comment section on one website where guys said DD and women said, no C cup at best, she's skinny and so they look better. Thank you google.

But with those kind of dimensions I have to think she is less A350 and more 777-300. She's also American so American = Boeing. Works.

So you need a model from France, Germany, the United Kingdom or Spain. Or all of the above. And she needs to be tall but not flat like an Olympic skater.

Let me see.... OH GOUGE MY EYES OUT... forgot to put French female model... got one... does this work?

I don't think so either, the A350 looks like fun, not mean.

Here you go 80, Emma Stone.

She looks like a European consortium and just like the A350, most guys think there's a chance. Works.

As to the A380...

Once that tide starts rolling it just keeps going and going and going.

Steenland was the head when the order was announced but Richard was there when the discussions were on-going with Boeing. I've heard Richard refer to "we ordered" the 787 when at Northwest. But, yes, interesting dichotomy.

Guys, can you please help with a PCS question.

I'm trying to Personal Drop multiple trips tomorrow. If I put them all on the "priority one" line of the menu, is it "all or nothing" or will it drop individual trips even if it can't drop all of them?

Also, is it possible to drop a carry-out trip if the days in this bid period have adequate coverage?

Thanks!

All or nothing if on the same line. You may want to make cascading drop requests if you would take some.

Priority 1-8 The screen allows backward and forward scrolling entering 8 priorities. The automated leave process will attempt to award a request based on the data in priority 1. The process will either award all or none of priority 1. If priority 1 can not be awarded, priority 2 will be considered. If priority 2 can not be awarded, the automated process will move to priority 3, etc. until one is awarded or all priorities have been considered.


Yes, it is now possible to drop a carry-out trip if there is adequate coverage in the current month.
