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

You know they would just monazite that stability into more entitlements. Until we change the politics of voting yourself other people's money and limit the power of the state, the state will continue the eliptical cycle of boom and bust economics, bailouts, wars abroad and police states at home. Tyrrany is the natural order of society. Freedom through vigilance is the exception, and we've lost our vigilance long ago.

The closest we might come WRT revolutionary tech in this regard IMO is either abiotic oils or bio fuels. Real bio fuels though, like algae petrol, etc. Not the insane corn lobby nonsense that sucks up more petrol than it saves. :rolleyes:

Where's the friggin' like button!

If he's really mad at them, he needs to overfly some of their routes and bleed them out. DL can easily afford it (1 or 2 routes wouldn't even move the profit needle) and they can't. I doubt they care who in the US is pounding their desk over anything.

As always submit a hotel FCR and cc ALPA on it if your hotel stay is unacceptable. It really is the only way that change will happen.

I emailed the ALPA hotel committee guy from the website. He got back to me a few minutes ago and told me the Roosevelt will change a room in the XX8X series if we ask them to.

My education curve is climbing.

A while ago someone showed me a calculator that would show you your seniority at your retirement date. I can't remember where it was..

Anyone know?

Thx,

Are you talking about the page that shows your seniority by year until retirement?

That's the only one I know of and it's on the Dalpa website:

The "Skybox" in MEM was almost as entertaining as the Roosevelt.
