That was a waste of... 3 minutes. I think 1/2 of that was just sitting their in disbelief that nothing else happened.

You didn't say MS FSX videos were in play! I guess I should've known though because do you remember when the 757ER differences training was out and it was all about flight simulator 757 pictures. :D

Model,

The only thing I can remember as far as the special MEC meeting was that they ratified the LOA concerning MAC flying.
No I don't think they have any idea what a JAL deal will look like if it happens. They don't negotiate it with JAL. But I DO know his biggest concern was for jobs and keeping/adding as many as we can. No, I didn't talk scope as it relates to JAL. I absolutely do feel he knows what's at stake for Delta and all the Delta pilots.

Scambo, if you are so interested in MiG 29s, you should talk to a guy in my new hire class. He flew them for the Russians. Imagine a MiG pilot sitting next to a U2 pilot in Delta class.

I think you will find that the training and upgrade scenario is a whole lot brighter than you think. Just wait for the may-june bid. It should be pleasantly surprising for a change. The jan bid was a snapshot in time, things have changed since that snapshot.

If the hiring projections are anything near what I'm hearing, folks on the bottom of the list wont be there for long. I hope they come true.

And now your moment of zen.

Satch;

In my personal portfolio, I take your outlook. I have a family and my priority is their care. Commodities and 3x etf's exclusively.

OTOH I cannot just jump with both feet into the camp that the world will end...If it does, it means Christ has returned and I'm otta here. I have all of the survival stuff covered, probably because I am a pilot and plan for the worst. If there is a meltdown, it will be on a global scale. There are enough viable reasons to need air travel that it is good to be employed by the skyteam.

This administration does seem to have an agenda of tanking the dollar as quickly as possible. That is bad for america (the island) But you and I work for a global company. You and I don't have crystal balls. I recommend doing what you can to insulate yourself from the bad stuff and drive on.

Oh yeah! Those p47s are nice targets, but at least they can turn.

Denny,

Did that ALPA rep you talk to give you any insight on what went on at the special meeting?
