The only real natural disasters we have in Cali are Pelosi, Boxer, Feinstein and Waxman.....and Moonbeam Brown. Earthquakes pale in comparison.

Default Pay raise

RA also thanked ----- people for participating in the annual employee survey that closed over the weekend with more than 55 percent of employee input, and noted the upcoming investing in you rollout that includes a pay increase for nearly all employees and the addition of a 5th week vacation effective April 1.

"You’re doing a great job operating the airline,” he said. “And when you do a great job operating the airline and you treat each other with dignity and respect and you take good care of our customers, we win in the marketplace. When we win in the marketplace, we can invest those wins back in you.”

So are we getting a pay raise and an extra week of vacation?

The threat of earthquakes helps keep the riff raff out. And by riff raff I mean anyone east of Palm Springs and north of Eureka.

They have quite a few very young 737 CA over there...just had a 1 yr ALK FO in the j/s last week (he would love to fly the wide body out of SEA for DL/ALK)...most ALK guys are preparing for something like a SEA fence, and full relative 737 and smaller. Our FO's can count on WAY more stagnation. Hope it never happens!

I'd say these are both a given in our upcoming contract negotiations... Meaning they cost ABSOLUTELY NO BARGAINING LEVERAGE.

So, if DALPA tries to spin them as a win, it is a demonstration of DALPA's irrelevance since they were GIVEN to non-contract employees. Don't go there DALPA.

I'm always in favor of more money and more time off, but to be clear, we already have a 5th week of vacation after 19 years of service. I wonder how long it takes the other employees to get the 5th week?

Yeah the one had the single core processor. The 2 got a dual core quads are on the way (if not already here). Its just a hardware limitation. I doubt a 4 generations old tablet from any other manufacturer would be any better, and would probably be built worse on a far less stable OS.

Whatever we get, I hope we are planning (and budgeting) for updating every single device at least once every 3-4 years. There is nothing we can get that will be timeless.
