I was hired in Feb of 2000 by NWA. A Delta pilot hired that same week is 1457 numbers senior to me on the combined list. I do not wish to revisit the merger, but don't marginalize it by just making up numbers. Delta may not have hired that many pilots, but apparently DAL+NWA did, it is a "combined" list now...

The thread stated a fall of 2000 hire. We stopped hiring in the spring of 01 do I knew that 1900 was impossible. I took a look. Fall 00 hires are about 900 numbers apart not 1900.

The DPA has been banging the scope drum for 4-ish years and it's almost down to 5? That's why you don't publish surveys. The DPA anger and the pilots response isn't in synch. Then again, it's just one man. Go Timmy go...

This sort of thing is my last remaining heartburn from the SLI. If Sailing, whom I regard as highly educated and in tune with all things Delta and DALPA, does not fully understand the results of the SLI, I guess I should more quickly excuse the DEEP ignorance of many of the line dog south pilots on this subject. Oh well. - rant over -

Harry's blades look similar, but thought I'd give them a try if someone had first-hand info. Index replied too, thanks for the comments.
GJ-- if you search backwards in the thread using google, about 2-3 months I think, you'll find another conversation on mail order blades by hmm...
buzzpat. I tried to search him on blades, shaving, razor but didn't get a hit, however he and 2 or 3 other guys had a good talk on this... I almost started ordering them. My impression is that their supplier of choice sounded better than what you're talking about here. Maybe PM him.

You know with contract negotiations just around the corner.

I rarely post but the extremes the ALPA insiders will go to protect their sweetheart deals truly sickens me.

I agree. Not everything has to do with DALPA, not matter how hard some try to make it that way.

Was curious too. An early '97 South guy vs early '97 North guy...... Approx 1720 numbers.

It is what it is.

How about a scenario where the company is .5% out of compliance then they immediately have to pull down JV flying by 2%

Make the penalty a multiplier of their non compliance. The current measurement period is a joke and needs to be fixed as well.
