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

It is time for our union to assert itself.
This 117 negotiation needs to result in some substantial gains for the Delta pilots.
It needs to happen now. This month.

If management refuses then Captain Donatelli needs to take some action.
We deserve significant contract restoration and the corporation can afford to do it.
There is no excuse. It is right and it is just.

If Mr. Anderson will not acknowledge our enormous financial contributions and recognize our pivotal role in the rebirth of this airline since the dark days of bankruptcy then the days of DALPA being passive and "constructive" need to end.

+2,750,000,000

(piece of the pie being returned to shareholders from now until 2016...say, isn't something big supposed to happen for us in 2016? Like a contract?)

Got my 4th stripe with Delta on this bid!

Congrats! I couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger on the commute to reserve in NYC.

Enjoy the view from the left seat!

Congrats Bucking Bar.
I see you went for the breadsticks and cognac on the 7ER.

Moved up about 12 numbers on 330B, could have held M88A in NYC with about 19 below if I wanted, about 200 from 73NA and 32 from 320A. Too bad I don't live there abouts. Like driving to work too much :cool:

I did just get a 7 day GS and started Rolling Thunder which is even better :D

Congrats to the upgraders, sorry to see you leave APC, as the manning document only permits ten cranky captains.

Actually 6 guys on top pf me left and no backfill which doesn't bode well for a category whose manning is already pretty thin...

It looks like they are going to be short of 7ER captains system wide.
Either that or they are parking 757s faster than we thought.

Congrats to all those that fixed their commutes!
Wow, Capt went reallllly junior, I was very pleasantly surprised and may need to update my projected ugrade time ;)

UNFORTUNATELY, I lost another 2% as everyone who bid out was junior to me and most incoming were senior... story of Out West. Now I've had an unmitigated string of backsliding AEs since 2010, with just one AE with "no change"... lost 24%. I will say that the 7ER did see some movement, but it didn't translate to 73 movement.

Thanks again WN, for once again, NOT raising the bar.

While I'd like to see a greater effort on behalf of some of the other groups to "raise the bar" we need to celebrate and capitalize on the massive anchor that was USAirway's pay scale finally being off the books. With the others more or less matching us, and without Airway's insane FO pay for CA rates weighing us down anymore, we should be able to make more progress with a given amount of effort than before, even if no one tops us. They absolutely trashed the actuarials before and getting rid of that pathetic contract is, by far, the single biggest boost we could get.

Next month I start commuting to SLC. Anyone know of some decent hotels with transportation and preferably free breakfast?

Thanks
