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

But to the passengers it is Delta. :cool: They bought a ticket from DAL and that is who they should accountable for providing the service. Just another reason not to outsource.

Scoop

Outsourcing is inevitable for the foreseeable future and there's no denying that. The point is that Delta should be careful with whom they outsource. Delta has to see the difference between cheap and inexpensive outsourcing groups. It's about quality of the product.

I already rolled my DC into my 401, but I was wondering if anyone has found out what interest rate the annuity was paying out? For whatever reason, that wasn't in the documents. My guess is it is somewhere around 3-4%, but I have seen several annuities paying out at 10%. Just a question.

I'm sure there's a lot there that needs to be monitored.

I looked for a DALPA facebook site and nothing came up. What is it called?

Too add to this…a chat with a 4th floor friend says Endeavor is again in discussion with the company for some type of expanded SSP (he didn't think it was a flow) for DAL hiring. Asked my rep about it and said DALPA has been briefed on some ideas but is not part of the process and has no role/input. A bigger carrot being dangled?? Not sure there is a big enough carrot.

Hiring at Delta has some strange twists and turns. Exceedingly competitive and difficult hiring process for off the street applicants and acceptance of flow thru pilots with no college degree, etc. Interesting times indeed.

Boog, it'll ask you at the bottom if you're willing to flying into the next month and how many days.
