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

You are kidding right? No one needs to be there to be yelled at. The will post it when they want to . It may be tomorrow if they go and announce SOC tomorrow AM, or the first in the AM as they planned.

You will never know where a negotiation between the company and the association starts because of the bickering you are doing now. What this proves is that to protect everyone from suing the pants off each other they keep it under lock and key. I hate that but they do do it for a reason.

Another stupid question, when the SOC is announced, will that mean the formal end to Northwest Airlines?

I believe that NWA as a wholly owned entity of DAL will cease to exist after inventory cut over which will be around 22JAN10.

Entirely justified considering the number of NWA aircraft retired prior to or in conjunction with SOC.

Schwanker,

Please step away from the crack pipe. There were two classes after the 4/14 announcement on 4/21 and 5/5. Both of these comprise the DAL 45 and we're proudly at the end of the list.

Guys! IT'S OVER!!!!

Please drop it!!!

SOC will be tonight at 0000 +1 from what I have been told by a few ppl today.

My inside sources are telling me that the SOC has been signed - but - it will not be effective until tomorrow night at 0000 + 1. I guess we will see. I hope your sources are better than mine - I know I'm getting displaced and I'm ready to know my fate!

I agree and I know the guys you are talking about.

Yeah, no. I was a 01/01 hire, Currently ATL 7ERB, but I do have NYC M88A MD in:D

I know Johnso29, but I couldn't resist. It's fun getting irrational people spun up.

That was what I was told for the last week. This new tidbit came out a few hrs ago. Either way it is moot. It is done. We are one, and within the next two days we will have the results of the first joint bid.

Nuf said.

I do not think we knew each other there. I was there since the late 90's and a Dallas guy.

I guess what I really meant to ask is, when will be the last Northwest flight? Will it be the 747?
