Because I'm usually wrong, I'll go with COB Friday.

Hopefully we'll see some of our FOs doing the "I'm going to be a Delta Captain Dance."

Best gif ever and worthy of another quote

Just flew with the new Deltalina..great attitude, great smile, and could easily walk the catwalk like the hottie above. Guess we're gonna have to start going back to stadium seating at the speed line as new hires go thru training..

I know it's not free market stuff, but I really don't want to see the Saudi's run our domestic oil producers out of business.
Absolutely. Subsidize it by pulling the 5th fleet and making them pay for their own regional defense in its entirety and cut them off, hard, from the Bank of Boeing and tariff them the equivalent for every Boeing and Airbus plane that touches our airspace, and limit them to the number of flights to the US as US airlines fly to their respective countries.

They're admitting they are engaging in economic warfare against us for the purpose of preventing our own energy independence. If we can't rally around that what can we rally around?

And stop holding their hands and bowing down to them. Sheesh.

Can anyone shed some light on our life insurance situation? I know Delta provides some at no cost, but I can't find where that is - spoke to CPSC, who transferred me to HR, who hasn't returned my call.
Any help much appreciated!

Its around 600k+ right now I think. Only while employed of course. Its "free" however you pay an imputed income tax on what the premiums should be or something like that.

Depending on your age you can go on the open market and by an equivalent policy for less than the taxes you will pay on the imputed income. It's not that great of a deal unless your older and have some medical issues...
