Marital and health...make your own conclusions...

 

Buzz is correct. All you need to do is APD one day of a regular line trip and the whole thing will drop. Generally speaking, it is best to use just the one day in case you want to white slip or green slip on some of the other days.

Barring certain holidays, for the APD to be approved, Buzz is again correct. The reserves available only have to be 25% of reserves required.

Well then we really got screwed. We would be WAY better off to have 88 more 319's than the 717's. So we could have said no to more large RJ's AND had 88 more higher paying mainline jets. Not that I believe you know what plan B was, but if that is what it was we got a horrible deal.

 

 

Does anybody on here really believe management didn't have a plan B ? And that they were willing to implement it. And guess what, they still would have been making record profits. Focus on the future, the past is just that, the past.

 

Some Delta pilots get offer early-retirement offer
Delta offers early retirement to some pilots as it prepares to ground 4 Boeing 747 jets

ATLANTA (AP) -- Delta Air Lines Inc. is offering early-retirement incentives to pilots including those who fly the Boeing 747 as it prepares to ground four of the jumbo jets later this year.

Delta said Wednesday that it will accept retirement offers for up to 50 pilots, who have until the end of October to apply. The airline has about 11,000 pilots.

Cockpit pay varies by seniority, whether they are a captain or a co-pilot, and the size of the plane they fly. Captains on the 747s are among Delta's highest-paid.

The Atlanta-based airline plans to retire four of its 16 Boeing 747s when it replaces them with the Boeing 777 on its Atlanta-Tokyo route, a spokeswoman said.

Earlier this year, more than 1,000 Delta employees took an early-retirement offer that was not made available to pilots.

This week, United Airlines reached a deal with the flight attendants' union to offer payments of up to $100,000 in severance for senior employees who leave the company.

 

None drawn. I hope everything is better.

 

Just want to give a positive shoutout to our current resident $$$ guru Denny Crane esq. If all y'all recall, Mr Crane had a killer month last month and the bulk of his reward would have shown up on the 15th very likely making it all worthwhile. Anyway, tip your glass in the direction of Seattle and give Denny a thumbs up!

 

I'll tip my glass towards Denny but I'll show something dirty to express my hatred of that excuse of a football team they have in SEA. But I can't be too angry because sea and sf are tied for 2nd behind Ariz. Yikes!!

 

Thanks Buzz and Denny. That's what I read.
