Why is it so hard to read the LAG thread about Delta? It seems to shrink (spatially) more and more every day. At 16000 threads it may require reading glasses. Or maybe I need them anyway?

Got the 320A robocall looking for volunteers to cancel their vacation for April.

They could also debate the TA during the meeting and agree to reconvene via conference call after the seven days.

BUMP!!!!

This just happened to be the last post of the previous page. It deserves to be stickied (calling 80, ACL, any other mods???) alongside the other NAI thread.

It takes less than 20 seconds to fill out the form (just name/email/city/state/zip that's it!)

If you thought RJ's were bad for your career, we ain't seen nothing yet.

NAI's application is on Anthony Foxx's desk as we speak, seeking approval. You can't afford to ignore this. Drag your spouses to the computer and have them sign too. Once more:

Taking advantage of legal loopholes and tax laws to create shell companies that then outsource jobs to underpaid labor and shift aircraft leases and insurance liability to the cheapest bidder...

That's OK if you do it with 50% of your flying. But 100% is just crooked.

But srsly, I hope this NorwegianAir shell game gets locked down in a hurry.

We're not exactly fans of the "50%" being outsourced domestically either. My hope is the entire regional model fails under the weight of the "pilot shortage" (if it actually materializes) and we fold everyone into the mainline where they belong.

I've had a tough time finding the awards, but I'll dig it up. I know others on here saw it happen as well, as returning awards. Not AE's.

Why all the hate on the furlough returnees? having been furloughed myself for half a decade with Delta I would think returning to a narrow body aircraft is not the windfall you are leading us to believe it is.

That would be fine with me, but I'm not holding my breath.

What would really disappoint Mrs. Boomer and the little Boomers is if Delta gets Comair'd by the "Foreign Little League" and we ALL have to start over (and with a commute to Singapore)

Pathetic.

I can only hope that all of the people on here cranking about PA's and returning furloughees (many of whom are returning from war) moving their cheese have taken a moment to sign the petition.

Sign it, then send it to your sister, brother, aunt and uncle, and your bestest buddy. Do it now!
