Yeah, it listed the employees names and numbers, just found it odd for a second and thought that I might have logged me into someone else's stuff for a sec.

Thanks

The wall of knowledge in the bathroom says only 8 mainline and 8 dci flights per hour during our next snow event. I knew our deicing in atl was limited but wow, that's hardly anything. BTW, 23k plus a GS and I'm a happy camper!!

Disregard.

You can search for a pilots personal data by name or employee number. That will give you a XXX cross referenced personal data. If they just put in your employee number and view your sked it will show that.

You will notice more ppl checking your sked during IROPS, or AE's. I check guys skeds all of the time.

There is a little bit of self preservation in this as well. Yep, it will get the company what they want, but it will also add flights, block hrs and jobs for us the pilots of DAL.

I get the frustration you have, but being contradictory just because you do not see a direct line to restoration can be more have negative effects as well. If we want to see a positive growth trend which will lead to what we all want, the foundation needs to be there. IMHO, that starts with NYC, Aisa, Europe and Latin America. We have Europe, America and are working on Asia, and it is my belief that we will see similar work in Latin America.

A big scoop to funnel this revenue in to help you and I get the pay and beenies we want. It may not be instantaneous, but it is progressive.

One last note. We help break DAL's stride and hitting streak now, just think of the precedence we would be setting to the government. Food for thought.......

FTB,

Flying helicopters is by far the most fun you can have in any airframe, while keeping your clothes on. (Aerobatics comes in a close second.)

Huey/Blackhawk Pilot, Delta-N Pilot, on Military leave right now flying UAV's:D

Vikings Fan

Really??? Helo flying?

FYI, I have been assigned 1 trip in the last 5 and a half months on reserve in a fdal midwestern dying base/category!

I was a pretty senior lineholder out here in LA until the last two AEs. Since Nov 1, I've flown about two short trips a month. Looks like I'm on my way to ATL soon for some bounces in the sim. Prior to this past November, I was averaging 80 hours a month.

While this number changes regularly, there are 4 767ER, 16 757-200, and 7 767-300 domestic stored that could be considered economically viable with good oil prices and consumer demand. Many of those airframes are 20-25 years old, however, so they are relative maintenance hogs with have older engines and electronics.

Ahh....the -9's and the freighters are not coming out, they're done. We're talking about jets that are most likely returning to the line.

I think it is a choice, albeit not a good one often for everyone involved. In the non airline business world, tranfers are common. Granted the airline business seems to be more volatile than most, but didn't we know that going in?
