1. JAL - a lot of things hinge on this going our way. The legal folks have already got the anti trust piece coordinated (unofficially) thru the DOJ.

I have a question for ACL65. What will happen to JAL Cargo and their 744Fs? Does JAL want to offload some of that? Have we totally sold our ANC ops?

Have been dealing with Dr Faulkner and those at Harvey Wyatt. Since I have a premie and the stress you go through Delta does not want you to fly. If it does not get approved I guess I go the other way with family leave. Believe me this all just sucks and reading this forum helps get your mind away from what us going on. Thanks for your thoughts.

I like your TV better. :D I agree it needs to be done. To win NYC we need a first class facility in JFK. Our TV would be great if it ever had anything on except news channels. I guess we don't want to awaken all the sleeping FAs... :mad: I hate LA... well certain members of the PAC 10 anyway... :D |

When does the Pay Statement for Dec 09 become available on DBMS? I am trying tu pull it up and it says "statement not available for input bid period"
I can see the paycheck but no statement. The 15th of the following month, so the one for Dec will be available Jan 15. |
Wow. They popped out those schedules real fast. Just about everyones are out.
Good job crew resources and sch.... wha? wait a minute? BUT THATS NOT WHAT I WANT! I DIDN'T BID... oh wait, I did bid for that... why did I bid for that... oh thi... *********.... :D Just teasing. Very happy about the speed of this. |
[Sawdog-
Sorry to hear about your child. Best wishes for speedy recovery. I'd call DALPA about your status. Not sure you are eligible for disability if you are not the one who is sick. Family Medical Leave maybe?[/quote] Sawdag - call the CPO office and speak with a Chief. They will do whatever it takes to give you teh time. Short Term and Sick time run concurrently, Long Term comes into play after that.... |

I know most of this stuff isnt news, but some sheds light. Scambo The JAL MD-90's are a sale-leaseback transaction according to Richard's chat. That means JAL will fly them or at least some of them still. We will own them and probably at some time they will come to Delta. Right now we have 12 MD-90's that are not in service yet. I would like nothing more than a bunch of wide body growth, but senior management was pretty adamant at the investor's conference about paying down debt. They have been pretty consistent about doing what they say to the investors. I hope I am wrong. |

Maybe there are a few businessmen out there that sort of feel that way, and they are our best customers.. but truth be told.. we really don't NEED a shiny terminal to win NY. We just need competative pricing, which we have. Having an architeture background makes me personally want to see us do something spectacular, but I'm not holding my breath for a company that is in one of the most notoriously thin industries (wrt operating margins) to go out and spend a bunch of money to do that.
Our TV would be great if it ever had anything on except news channels. I guess we don't want to awaken all the sleeping FAs... :mad: I hate LA... well certain members of the PAC 10 anyway... :D Agreed that it is not "New" that we need. We need functional, and we do not have that. The biggiest issue is ppl missing their connects either overseas or coming back. You do that a few times and ppl spend the night there, I am sure ppl will start paying more for someone else. It does not matter what it is, as long as we can get jets in and out. No more of these three hr sits (even 20 min sits) for gates. |
