Thinking that may be this year and definitely next year. I do ask, who do you want to replace him? You? Me? Who?

I'll do it.

I just talked to a friend on the fourth floor who was eating lunch with two people in Crew Resources and they said no way to an MD-90 base except for the one in MSP. Don't mean to upset anyone as i would love to see the DFW commuters not commuting anymore.

I wish the 90s will come down to ATL, just so I could go ATL-MSP-West Coast. Just for something fun.

Was told that Moak did not like it so it was shot down. I thought it was a good idea to let the WHOLE pilot group be asked if they wanted the NWA STYLE of being paid (1/2 of your guarantee 34 hours on the 31st and on the 15 you would get the other 34 + hours flown above 68 and per diem).
I do not know when the old Delta pay chart was put into place, but if it was last done in 1986.... it should now be paid out at $5000 for inflation indexing.

How many times has the same version of this type of story gone around? The MEC wanted XXXX to improve our contract but Moak said no. This is such baloney. If the MEC wanted to do something, they just have to vote it and it is the policy of the union. What are they, a bunch of grade school sissies? There is a small cadre of weak minded individuals who have found that the easiest thing to do is blame everything on Moak. If this MEM rep felt so strongly, then why didn't he run for election last January.

If the MEM rep said this, then it is a classic case of pass the buck leadership. Remember the MEC chairman works for him, not the other way around. So here is a boss passing off any failures to his subordinates. Profiles in courage. What is his leadership motto, "The buck stops with whomever I can blame it on."? Based on the other actions I have seen out of MEM it doesn't surprise me.

How close are you to the top of the CPS list?

90 or so. Should be in the top 25% of the list to flow, so potentially first year of hiring if they hire for five months or more. And if the flow-through is still in place by the time they get to me. :o

Deltanet, employee connection, follow the prompts to the electronic W-2 (assuming you signed up for it in time). Alternately, just go straight to ESS.

Not sure when they'll be ready, but by law I think it has to be in your possession no later than Jan 30th. If you set it up correctly in ESS, it will notify you by whatever e-mail address you set up that it's ready.


(I can't wait for the tax "refund" either!)

Delta-Japan Air Alliance May Be Able to Gain Approval (Update1)
January 13, 2010, 12:47 AM EST MORE FROM BUSINESSWEEK

Jan. 13 (Bloomberg) -- Delta Air Lines Inc. may be able to win U.S. approval for a pricing alliance with Japan Airlines Corp., boosting its chances of wresting the Asian carrier from American Airlines’ Oneworld group, analysts said.

Delta, the world’s largest carrier, would offer Japan Air access to a bigger route system than Oneworld’s, said Vaughn Cordle, chief executive officer of Airline Forecasts LLC. That would help travelers, the Transportation Department’s chief criterion for granting antitrust exemptions, he said.

More at Bloomberg.
