How many were let go and why? I didn't know we were shrinking.

Chop 2% and the remaining 98% work much harder. I learned that the first week of my MBA. We aren't the only group being targeted for productivity gains. It's common practice even in strong and growing companies. In a previous career in different industry, this was an annual event inside a company with double digit annual growth.

AE out. Looks like they opened LAX 777, 15 Captains.

Zero gain. All 15 will come from DTW and ATL. No backfill.

We have the most idiotic swap with pot rules ever at Delta. That is all.

During the PBS bid award process, a swap involving a rotation that contains any duty period, or portion thereof, that is within the last six days of the current bid period will not be granted.

Why does swapping a trip that operates from the 22nd to the 26th for another trip operating the same days need to not be granted during the bid award process? It will have absolutely no effect on the next months bid. Dumb.

I get a trip that goes into the transition period, but why one that operates the 22nd to 26th?

We all have at least one family member who doesn't quite fit in at the dinner table around the holidays. Dinner tastes better if they aren't invited.
