Talked about American pay rates surpassing ours. But that they didn't get profit sharing.

So Delta touts our profit sharing, while they plot to eliminate it.

That's some chutzpah.

Nah, chutzpah is claiming rumours and innuendo as straight up fact. Or do you have video of the plotting?

No matter what the intentions of our MEC, I truly believe our profit sharing will have a huge bullseye on it for C2015. Read the article below. Specifically, the paragraph about profit sharing.

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/why-de...210031218.html

"Profit sharing expense had the highest growth cost. It increased 54% to $384 million. The year-to-date (or YTD) profit sharing expense was $823 million. Delta expects that this expense will be $1,000 million for 2014. According to the company, this is the highest profit sharing expense in its history. It represents 15% of the pay."

So I am seriously going to spend more time on the CD for the EFB then I did on a systems CD on the 717?

FWIW, I didn't get a systems CD on the 717. http://www.secrant.com/Images/Icons/IconLOL.gif

Is the training CD that comes with the EFB tablet a paid training event? If so does anyone know what it pays in time?

You get paid 33 minutes for the EFB training.

Interesting that FLY Leasing announced the sale of 12 757's today. Buyer not disclosed. Average age 13 years. Right up our alley.

Is it true the 717 doesn't have a green banana?:eek:

Right up your alley is an order for 200+ish E195's/Cseries, even if Delta was able to get all of the 717's built, 150ish, it would not be enough to cover the losses of DCI. :eek:

I asked a similar to our benefits lady. She said in an e-mail that a limited purpose FSA could be used for the 20 percent copay once the deductible is met, but not the deductible. Does this sound right?

NO! It does not! If she said that, I think she needs to be schooled.

If you click on the "eligible expenses" link in my post and then scroll down you will see that a Limited Purpose FSA says it can be used for Dental copays but NOT Medical copays.

Essentially it can only be used for dental and vision expenses.
