Possibly a few not flyable. Mistreated. Spare parts planes. But maybe they can work a miracle.
Why would we take aircraft that are not flyable?

Seems as though we are getting a lot of "lurkers" or "new posters" around here who feel compelled to get into with people right out of the gate.

Sorry, but it's beyond lame to repost under a different handle.

Default New Hire Seat Locks

As we approach Spring 2015 we are coming into the time-frame when more and more new hires are at the end of their 1 year seat lock.

The company has basically enjoyed a 1 year hiatus of new hires changing equipment that due to the fact that hiring really ramped up about a year ago is mostly ending.

Each AE will probably have more and more new hires changing equipment. I am trying to wrap my head around what that will mean for Delta. Obviously more churn in the training department but I am not sure what else will be affected.

It seems to me that as long as we are steadily hiring the 1 year seat lock provides most of its benefit to the company in the first year of any hiring cycle, and in subsequent years basically provides minimal benefit, and actually negative benefit in the first year after hiring stops.

Thoughts?

Default Uniform Pants

I just walked into Abbots off VA Ave and found out that they are asking $95 + tax per pair of pants. 500 yards up the road M & H is selling pants for $53/pair.

Anyone have any experience with the M&H pants? I went cheapo on my last go-round and bought some lookalikes at Kohl's, but they haven't held up.

I figure I can buy M&H pants almost 2:1 vs Abbots. Are they cheap as well? I don't want to be back at this again until I need to add another inch to the waistline.

Obviously the new posters with exciting new names are here in a very organized way to control the message. Do they control the union again? Will a handful of.insiders pull off another jam down sell job?

Regardless of the debate, I hope we all agree and insist on following the ALPA process. No more ignoring the reps.

It's myidtravel.com/myidlisting. Pay special attention to the formatting of dates, etc.

Have you tried AXIST no wrinkle pants at Kohl's? Mine have held up for years, on sale for $33 each.

Starting 3rd year for two pairs of M&H pants. They've held up great flying the Maddog, and still fit
