Sorry to switch gears, but was wondering about life during training at Delta. I know hotels are not paid, but what about positive space tickets on breaks and uniforms, are they paid for? Thanks for the heads up

Hotels and uniforms are not paid for. Expect to spend around $400-$500 for the jacket, pants, hat, etc. You get positive space tickets as long as you have 48 hours off between periods.

Here is the trend on Alaska. I like where the trend is going!

3. If the Company is not in compliance with the minimum international operation requirement (under Section 1 R. 1.) or the minimum ASK requirement (under Section 1 R. 2.) in any measurement period, the Company will cure any such breach by complying with the minimum international operation or ASK requirement, as applicable, in the subsequent measurement period.
In my opinion, this language means the company has a one year grace period to come into compliance. It doesn't alleviate the requirement to be in compliance in a particular year.

"Cure period" is a legal term synonymous with "grace period". If I were to say "you owe rent at the end of each month but can cure any shortfall by paying rent in the subsequent month" it simply means you have a one month grace period to pay back rent. It doesn't mean you get free rent if you don't pay.

In the context of the TA I think the language means that the company has a year to add flights to come into compliance if they are out of compliance. For example if the company owes 100 "units" in 2015 but only schedules 99 they owe 101 in 2016.

I could be wrong. If so, the language makes zero sense.

Very interesting. I wonder if things have changed. It use to be that Alaska was no good if it lost either AA or DAL. Making it undesirable for one of the bigs to take them over. If DAL is out of the question I wonder if they lose that shine?

They've still got AA and Emirates to feed...:rolleyes:

I'm just glad Delta will (finally) be flying more of our own passengers, on our own jets.
