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

From a friend at the meeting:

AE next week 25 LAX B717 crews. (Someone owes me a case of Ballast Pt IPA's.)

He also said LA will take new ER & 73 Capt & FO's. Not sure what that means other than maybe he means growth in all categories.

No 777 for now. Maybe late Fall if we keep NRT. If it happens 22-25 crews.

Baja.

Don't think he is RSV, otherwise I was thinking the same thing.... but not RSV and working a crapload. To each its own. I know the NYC73B has been zero'd out on staffing since December, and basically continues thru March. Not many newbies in the pipe either. Mas GS to come. CHA-CHING :)

Are you looking for cheap? Then I'd go with The Hacienda in El Segundo. They have shuttle service and I think the crew rate is $85 when all is said and done. You can also Hotwire a three star place. I usually get the Concierge Hotel(old Radisson). if you stay at the Crowne Plaza then the bar peeps give you the 3-2-1 deal no matter which airline you work for.

Bet LAX717A- 80% doesn't break 6000-6500, maybe a few higher for the bottom reserve guys..

The possibility of a joint category with the 330 is also possible. The issue however is the FAA will require you to maintain currency on both airframes.

I bet a case that the routes the 777 are serving out of LA now get replaced with A350s. Gotta take on United in LA with their 787s.

We need a pay scale for the A350 pronto!!!!

I might even bid the right seat just to enjoy the smell of new cockpit, and China!

I'd hate to take a big pay cut though! What's the over/under on wages?

321 has to come first! 7 months from now the first one is coming, and there is no pay rate. There's some leverage for at least an updated contract right there. :)
