If there is anything that can get done, he is the individual that I would talk to first. If it need to go up the chain it will.

Heyas,

Rumor today that any hiring plans are on indefinite hold.

Sorry for the bad news.

Not overly surprising since oil has doubled in a year. I will go see what I can find out.

I dislike that rumor. Please post another, better rumor at your earliest convenience. ;)

So I seriously think I learn the most here reading the back and forth between Alfa, Bar and Slow.

There is a lot to learn about it. What Bar is basically saying is that D-ALPA took a 600 million dollar bargaining credit for relaxed scope, and Slow and Alfa are telling him he is full of bs.

Point to all of it is, that Bar wants to make a salient point that we better not sell 100 seat flying.

FWIW, as late as yesterday the opposite was true. Maybe pushed off by a few months but no more than that.

Good rumor followed by bad rumor followed by good rumor followed by bad rumor.........\

Having said that as I have said before there is also not going to be a 100 seat aircraft buy. Delta simply does not want a 100 seat aircraft in their fleet. They will trot the concept out at roadshows ect... and have been doing that since 1991 when they want to appease the pilots. They are not going to order one however. They will always tell you they are waiting for just the right aircraft. 19 years they have been waiting and there have been lots of aircraft available. They simply have no long term plans for a 100 seat aircraft in the fleet.

I doubt it. Planning for profits with $86 a barrel. It's around that now, and it will most likely take a lot more then that to stop hiring. It's going to be a long summer with not enough bodies, and I don't know if GS will cover it. They might, until wx hits. Then it'll hit the fan. JMO

DO NOT use an authorized personal drop (APD) unless absolutely necessary. Chente wrote that we have four of those. That's misleading. We can APD up to 4 days, but we can only use it once per year. So if you APD 1 day, that doesn't mean you can APD 3 more days later.

Go to PCS, then Leave Requests. Just make sure you click on Personal Drop, not Authorized Personal Drop.

Ahhhh...I didn't realize that! Thanks for the correction:)
