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

I've read 'bout every post since the AE first came out. Anybody care to speculate on how this might affect MEM staffing? I'm 8 or 9 from the bottom on DC-9/A (DEC-'95 hire), and wondering how to arrange my preferences. My first thoughts were that I'd move up in MEM. After contemplation, I'm wondering if guys will move in on top of me, and and thus get flushed out the bottom? Any thoughts guys?

I think the green tide will roll in and we will see a rash of guys who have been locked into smaller aircraft for the last 20 years exit for larger equipment. So I suspect your seniority within the MEM DC-9/A to improve!

My guess is he was out buying some kevlar before making an entrance.:)

Put a bid in for where you would go if you get bumped. Do an MD so you are not seat locked.

Lots of senior 320A's there. I know of a few that are bidding ATL.

There is a good synopsis on the DALPA forum.

Crash pad over at Eminem's, that's what I'm banking on when I get my 777B slot. :rolleyes:

Bring your 40oz. and 40 cal. ;)

Go for the gusto and bid 777A. I am. Just think when you get bumped the next bid you could go back to 73Nb at 200 an hr. That is like Green Slips every day you work ;)

Think of it as a short term hit. It is like a good kick in the coins..... it only hurts like hell for 10 mins or so, then you are irked (language police) , then you get over it, but learn to protect yourself next time!

Yeah, I've still got my recall rights back to the bus so this should get me back on it which would be great. To be honest though i'm just glad we're talking about adding and not subtracting!! :D

Not if I MD on top of you! :D Wouldn't that be fun, me and Super in the same base. Now if only Beer and FTB joined us and Tsquare could be our captian! Oh the college football debates we could have!

Great idea, we can all sit around and eat bbq and drink beer ;). next season should be alot of fun!! With that said, i'm itching at bidding SLC or DTW because I suspect the flying will be better out of SLC. And for DTW, i suspect it to go more junior and thus i have a better chance at getting decent schedules. I just have to decide whats more important, Short Commute and or better schedules/flying.

All times are GMT -8. The time now is 12:54 AM.
