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

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 think the cost of a 717 from SWA is a lot less than the cost of an E-195. Who even knows when the C series will even be available? The 717 move was a lot smarter than a large E jet or C series order, even if we never get more than 88 of them.

Lots of old DCI flying being done with the other narrowbody fleets as well. I know the 319 is doing at least a dozen cities that were DCI 12 months ago.

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.

Thanks for the clarification. It didn't seem right to me.

The regional game is up, and with AA/UAL hiring anyone with a pulse into their FFD setups, and Delta turning away military pilots at theirs, it's not hard to see where this is headed. Already, the increased strain on the system is hitting DAL this December as it scrambles to cover the additional flying.

When you fill out the PSA app, they call you in a few hours to setup your class date. Contrast that with the EtD.

I'm with PD on this one.

If you don't think the company is rigorously trying to find a way to reduce Profit Sharing then you are naive.

God help DALPA if they try to sell a TA which "monetizes" profit sharing for a reduction/elimination of Profit Sharing.

So you wouldn't give up what amounts to 10%-15% of profit sharing for a 15%-20% increase in pay? PS is great when the company is making money, but inevitably the good times go away and without profit there is no PS. There still is the higher pay. If they want to monetize it, there better be a premium price attached to it.

You and I both know DALPA won't negotiate for a 20% pay raise in any form. Even reducing/eliminating Profit Sharing.

C'mon man!

From the FSA document library in self service

Limited-purpose Fsas can be used with an Hsa to help pay for eligible dental and vision expenses as well as with eligible medical expenses incurred between the annual deductible and annual coinsurance maximum only.
