There is some people with serious anger issues over there. It's amazing what people will post for all to see with their name attached.

But, it's good that there is a forum for DL pilots that isn't moderated by BH and RW.

Even so, there is a terrible underboob deficit which I will take responsibility for fixing (with the hope Vagabond isn't looking right now, sorry we are less evolved)



To honor Memorial Day because epic underboob would have been appreciated by our missing friends if they were here to lift a glass with us.

.
Frankly, I'd like to see the NC show its math on that before I take it to the bank.

With or without seeing the math... think about it. 7.5 hours of pay every time (with some of that being in the premium column) for a maximum of 4 hours of flying. I'd say it's a very logical conclusion.

I meant their first number, the $140m. Was that based on the current trip mix? If so, it was useless.

The first number I heard was $38m. Someone added a 1 to yours.

Some modelling was done. Again, I think these things would have gone senior. I do not know what base / equipment you are but I'd been all over these at 400.1 to 500nm of a hub.

It was 40 million when originally announced, and after the departure of the SDPs they were advertising 38 million.

As bar corrected you, the cost to the company was 40 million originally with additional pilots required being 108 (IIRC... very close to that). After the SDPs were removed it was 38 million and 137.

I doubt it...I'm sure modelling was done with deployment of the SDPs as well as the effects of that on the rest of the mix. DALPA has so much to do with the scheduling and production of schedules that they definitely have the tools and would use them.

That is the correct answer.
Great answer. Now. Some of your previous posts on the topic were a little less high road. Agree time to move on......
