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

Not so fast my friend. NYC may have gained seats but they lost the highest paid seats in the company, at the expense of a South base, I might add. Since the 765 is not fenced and it is a new category, it is open to all the Northies living in the NE.

Now as for the last sentence of your post, you are correct sir. It's time to stop complaining about a contract that you voted for and pining for a company that no longer exists. So let's start rowing and getting along.:)

The A330 is not fenced either, so Southies can also displace into that, which pays the same as the 765. Again we're in the same boat. :)

For the ATL guys, reading between the lines when Dickson was talking yesterday, there will be more pain in the future. Certainly more 767 displacements.

Did he give the impression that it would be a loss of positions overall or a transfer of these positions to different bases? The first would obviously suck, the second would for ATL guys.

What's that quote about "hitting the nail on the head?" Oh yeah, that's it!:(

And the only thing that's more laughable is the so-called pay protection... what a joke.

I am still waiting on the good news that you mentioned was right around the corner months ago!! I'm glad we still all have a job. Maybe that's it. Not the best Christmas gift from the big D for Atlanta boys and girls. What did we do to get on the naughty list?

Hmmm us junior guys didn't get furloughed?

Pay Protection

Something, I was wondering after this bid comes out (after SOC).

Are the guys that are receiving pay protection right now going to lose it after SOC if there are guys junior to them on the 755 or 320. (Guys who were displaced from the 7ER but are senior to guys on the 755). I'm sure there are some other scenarios with guys being pay protected from the 73N to 320.

We have been looking at just f DAL S equipment with all of the scenarios.

Just asking the question?

Can't disagree with this either!:) I'm just hoping, since I'm at a "left coast" base, I won't be too affected with this AE/Displacement bid.:(

Read Tom Friedmans book. We are an instant gratification society.

If there is someone junior to them that holds a higher paying piece of equipment then I would assume they would lose the pay protection. But I know what I do when I "assume.":)

Wow, what an entitlement mentality. Are you in your twenties? :confused:

Have we EVER had pay protection for mandatory displacements before? I've been here a long time, got kicked off the MD-11 (twice) and never got pay protection. Now, you're whining that we have it, but its not enough.
