It's awesome, with the great scope recapture of 2012 we've add two dozen 717s, we now have 11,655 pilots on the list as compared to 12,022 from March of 2012, a huge gai..., anyways, we've now taken once dailies to GNV and XNA with the 717!

Veni, vidi, vici.

Of course, we do those once dailies with new CR9s filling in the rest of the day (actually in some cases adding capacity) as the CR2s exit. But anyways, we also stole more of our flying from the MD88, DC9, 320 and 319, all of which began taking some DCI flying a while back.

So I guess we didn't need the 717 to get that flying back to mainline after all because the CR2 operation was just too costly. Too few seats on those things.

Without a doubt what we needed was the 717s right size at mainline... but I'm sure we'd passed on the SWA offer if the pilots had voted no on the first vote for 2012.

So far widgetlog.com seems quite awful... Tried to load trips from Jan without success. Can only get trips from archive at this point and apparently, widget log doesn't recognize Delta's archive format... good concept, though... maybe site will improve.

Also, widget log doesn't seem to recognize mil charter trips... maybe another day...

Just spoke with Unical guys in Guam... over 74 777s alone... at least we're adding a boat load of 717s! Yeah!

I'm happy for these AEs for the bottom half... for the top half... not so much.

I'm just hoping I can hang on to my medium body ER for 8 more years, but it's not looking good. :eek:

Largely irrelevant trivia: Today's paycheck was the first in 30 months to NOT have the $100 shared rewards payout and the first time in 40 months to have $0 shared rewards payment. January ice storms I guess...

It was a spoof vehicle review about Honda Oddessy minivans that suggested that instead of buying a minivan we should wear hats when bumping uglies with moderately attractive girls just after college.



I now know why these things nearly run me down in the suburbs.

Yeah right. You can assume all that if you'd like. :eek: :rolleyes: :eek:

What were the staffing levels? Good thing we had industry leading job protection during the the great recession. How many active captain positions were there in 2012? How much hiring are we doing now? What's the fleet projection? How about all those AE's? Lots of new captains? :D

Top half has done better than the bottom half these last 10 years. I'm glad to see all the upward movement for the FOs as a result of C2012 capturing more Delta flying for the mainline. 10- A330s begin arriving 1Q 2015. Bids for those should come out in the fall. I think you'll be fine.

Good feedback. After some tweaking it appears to be working now for archived rotations.

Not sure what's up with the mil charter, but I suspect it was the same problem causing it. If you want to PM me the rotation number/date I can take a look at it.
