Exactly. I love em, but only do em as a line holder.
The MD's would have been worse if they did not keep ppl in ATL. A pessimist would state that it looks like we are setting up for furloughs, but that is not the case.
Just said it and refuted the glass half empty guys to get around it.
Now some of you with time on your hands needs to figure out how many positions went unfilled. FtB?

By the use of your smiley face I can see you are taking this with a good attitude - don't worry it will get better, and a crappy commute will really, really make you appreciate the ability to drive to work in the future.
Good luck getting back to your base.

Hey this is just an opportunity to see some different flying without a seat lock. I am looking forward to the new opportunity but will take me reinstatement if and when I get it.

ATL Chief Pilot is in the "A" lounge right now answering questions about the near and long term plans, the bid etc. ...oh and handing out turkey sandwiches! I apologize if some of this is old news.
--More block time coming to ATL in the next year or two so for you displaced types, consider temporarily commuting (a choice that's been a source self-loathing and guilt in my own life) and wait on upcoming AE bids to get back to the promised land (not my words).
--Some block time from recently purchased (12) MD-90s (how'd I miss this lot of 12?) will return to the ATL base by '11.
--Expect new AE bid in June--training dept is at capacity 'til then. Many more bids to follow to realign fleet.
--I got the impression the CVG 7ER category will be given a little more time to improve but...
--ATL 777 flying will see significant growth over the next few years.
--Delta taking hard line approach with Boeing--787 delays means we're owed money or some other consideration in lieu of cash. Future new aircraft purchases will see Delta giving equal consideration to Airbus.
--Those of you that commute should be ashamed of yourselves
