OK 737 drivers I need some info...... What headsets are popular with the Delta guppy crowd?

Not a 737 guy, but I use Clarity Aloft Pros. PNR vs ANR. No batteries required. They go around the back of the head instead of over your head. Comfortable with glasses. Just throwing it out there so you can take a look if you'd like to.

Hey, I can be reasonable. I can even see your POV occasionally as being correct. (You and I just disagree mostly on methodology) What would really blow my mind would be to see Propaganda Drank post something pro union. (I ain't holding my breath)

Delta cancels all Israel flights over missile fear - US News


Good idea.

Edit: Hey Carl, you watching CNBC too ;-)

Earlier, we were having a discussion about the various cable news networks. I don't think any of them have any sense.

I just watched the CNN aviation "experts" say some of the dumbest things I have ever heard about us diverting to CDG. :confused:

I've been on this board for a lot of years but don't keep up with it all that consistently anymore, so maybe I missed something. But I don't see the discussions taking place the past few days/weeks to be any different than any number of discussions we've had over the past years. It appears to me that a lot of the complaints about this thread the past couple of days are really just an attempt to silence dissent.

If you guys want to turn it into strictly a rumor thread, answer a few questions, post a few pictures, exchange BBQ recipes, etc., then I guess that's fine. It'll be one less thing to occupy a slice of my time... which is probably a good thing. Think about it. I can live with whatever you guys decide.

The part bolded above is about a far from the point guy's like me are trying to get at. I have absolutely NO problem with dissent, argument, discussion or whatever you want to call it. Where I have a problem is with all the name calling etc. that goes on here. Sorry Purple, no offense, but I'm going to use you as an example. After about the first 10 posts about the "$3 billion," you made your point. It's just annoying now. Once that kind of attitude becomes part of the conversation, the conversation degenerates and is not worth reading or commenting on.

There are many times that I've typed something out and then erased it because it's just not worth it. I know what's going to happen. I may disagree with Carl on a lot of things but at least he and I can have an adult conversation with out all the juvenile tit for tat stuff. (And Carl, I really appreciate that!:))

Standing by for incoming!:eek::)

Read the PWA. It states that at the end of the three year measurement period, the company has one year to cure the deficit. IE, they are not out of compliance until the end of the cure period.

I have read the PWA, you're making excuses for management and against the jobs of Delta pilots. Here's the PWA:

Section 1. P. 4 "...The baseline EASK allocations are 50% for DL and 50% for AF/KL/AZ...

...In the case of the rolling three- year measurement periods ending March 31, 2014, and thereafter, the Company shall be required to maintain no less than 48.50% (Company’s baseline EASK allocation minus 1.50%) of the total EASK capacity subject to the provisions of Section 1 P. 6."


Section 1. P. 6 "If the Company is not in compliance with the minimum EASK capacity allocation under Section 1 P. 4. for any measurement period, the Company will cure any such breach by increasing the number of DL EASKs or decreasing the number of AF/KL/AZ EASKs to return the Company’s EASK capacity share to compliance with the minimum EASK allocation under Section 1 P. 4. for the then current rolling three-year measurement period.

Example: If the Company’s EASK capacity share is out of compliance with its minimum EASK allocation for the three-year measurement period ending March 31, 2014, then the Company will return its EASK capacity share to compliance with its minimum EASK allocation for the three year measurement period ending March 31, 2015."


Note the bolded above? "If the company is not in compliance"? After April 1 of 2014, the company is out of compliance with our PWA as stated by our PWA. We're now in the "cure" period for the company to become compliant. If they're not in compliance by March 31, 2015, they'll be in violation of the contract. Not just non-compliant with it, but in violation of it.

I just cannot imagine why I'm having to say this instead of DALPA. Worse yet, we have an active rep like you purposely mischaracterizing the meaning of the plain written word in a way that favors the company and hurts the jobs of Delta pilots. I would expect that from management, but it's depressing to see this behavior from a rep.
