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

This was the key to the last contract I tried to show everyone. Now it's too late. Now this will create a staffing problem for which they are already behind on. Now we can't get higher rates either because it looks bad. So where to now.

You, me, pd, FTB down by the river chucking rocks waiting for ALPA to put something in front of us to vote yes to.

Back to eating paste now.

Very true. The number two pilot in my category bid straight reserve for May. No vacation.

Not our problem. Green-slips for all my friends. We fly aircraft. management runs the company. If they are behind on staffing then that should be better for us.

With that said, this management team seems to be doing pretty good, which is also a big plus for the Pilot group. If staffing issues bend the profit margin down which I would rather not see, we will just have to make the most of it and enjoy a very "green" summer. :D

C-2012 is behind us. Yes, we must learn from each section 6, improve upon them, not make the same mistakes going forward, but fixating on what might have been is a waste of time.

Keep going FTB! :D

I doubt I Am senior to you my friend. Me be Delta's biyatch.

I suspect, given a choice of a $0.05/hr raise for yourself or a $10/hr raise for FOs, you'd take the former.

You funny.

Well we know that PD isn't number 2 in your category. Just a few more to eliminate and we'll know who he is. :)

Here, I'll be constructive: one thing I'd like to see on C2015 is for the block hour ratio to have language that says the "highest of actual or published min" therein never allowing it to go down.

For instance, if 1.47 is the min and we're at 1.7, 1.7 becomes the min from that point forward. I want to get rid of the margin between 1.7 and 1.47. What I would like is 4.0. But at a min I do not want in a stalled economy or if they need to park a subfleet that they have margin to play with.
