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

Cost neutral means that the revenue boost, not the operating cost, is equal to the cost increase. That would be an accurate statement looking at the yoy revenue increase. The contract costs the company more operationally, obviously.

That has nothing to do with DPA by the way. But if UAL or whoever thinks they can ram something down DL's throat with some lame populist majority, then "when in the course of human events…"

I meant UAL is making promises to win over regional pilots, not that they would amount to anything. This new UAL job fair thingy is just a way to organize the regional pilots in a vote for our girl campaign.

You wohld get two hours for that day. There is no 4.5 min duty period. You may be thinking about the 4.5 daily average.

Or a higher limit, if the plane was built for it. The MD-88 instructor in Long Beach told us: "You bought the 160k airplane and only had it certified for 149.5k, but you can upgrade the limit to 160k at any time with a little paperwork."

The Delta pilots are Pepsi.
