I was talking to one of our training guys the other day (in the MSP lounge for publication help). One of the old wiz kids named Phil Haun is back (a real senior VP back when he was in his 30s) and he is heading up a project to update everything IT. Obviously a multi year project. Guess he has somewhere around $200 million just to get started

Not sure what phone you have, but go to your contact list and select the DAL VRU #. Go to menu and insert a hard pause, then put employee #, *, pw, # and save the new contact number. No more having to input your # and pw anymore!

The airline gets more flexibility, the pilots get more seats, and everyone wins.


Sorry to respond so long after the post, but recurrent called.

We did have Capt seats paying less than 75/76 FO rates. Express.

I got no problem with it. Somebody will bid it. Never met the DAL pilot that's rumored to say we shouldn't fly the small stuff. Bring it on.

Spirit is ALPA. Not sure if there is any worth in it. Could have just been an errant rumor.
