Not to worry, Tom and I are going to show him our virtual park bench and if you are a Muppets fan, our life time free balconette.

Outstanding. I think finis would benefit immensely from your perspective!

Anyone know how to find out how much distributed training pay is coming their way?

I just finished the 7ER initial USB drive and it says I'm complete but there isn't anything on my Oct time card...

This would be another good way for management to "hide" pay increases from Wall Street: lower healthcare premiums (union "Cadillac" plans.)

There you again Sailing - injecting facts into an APC thread!

Where did you get that number, I'd really have to disagree with that statement. Delta hired around 1200 pilots from 1976 to 1980 ( if my old guys memory is correct) with an average age of 28. That means most of the 1977 and on pilots would have made the 65 rule. In my class of 28, 21 left, of those 20 would have made the 65 cut. I would guess the number would be closer to 300.

I don't know about this injection.. This one sounds like another "sailingfun fact".

Delta filed for bankruptcy in Sept 2005.
Age 65 went into effect in Dec 2007.
A little over two years.

So he's saying that 1700 Delta pilots were aged 58 or over in 2005 ?

I don't think so.

Somebody at Delta Technology didn't keep their backpack on.
