The short answer is no. I'm not sure. Our conversation revolved around his cancer, treatments, recovery, and our common desire to honor the Lord in all that we do....whether flying for ma' Delta, or hanging out with friends and drinking coffee while they turn wrenches on a project homebuilt. Maybe it was SAS/Scandinavian Airlines. I thought he said Swiss Air, but it very well may have been SAS. My apologies if some of the facts (pertinent ones, like WHICH AIRLINE!!) were off in my earlier post. But I am certain he mentioned 40 aircraft, $7 mil. each, and 'C' checks that his mech. friend (yes, a DAL mechanic/employee) was tentatively scheduled to go over to observe. I just ad-lib'd the Stockholm. It's the only city I could think of, and I guess my geography is off. I need to get out more often. As a DC-9 guy, I can name a whole bunch of small towns between MEM and MCO, that euro gig....not so much. Again, my apologies if the first post is confusing. My only intent is to share the good news, that comes from what I consider to be a very reliable friend. Not only is he a first rate ma' Delta captain, but a former Marine fighter pilot, and as good a friend as I'd ever hope to have. Guess we'll have to see if any of this pans out.

Regards,
Chuck

Fun,

I did say MAY, I don't know. Why don't I know, because I do not get any info from my union. That is my biggest concern is that we get so little information that we have to resort to web boards to be "informed"

Look at the 20% raise for scope relief rumor. I believe that rumor gained so much traction because of the way our union communicates to the masses. We are kept in the dark on a lot of stuff until after it happens. So it is easy for rumors to gain traction.

You are 100% correct I should contact my reps about this. I will shoot them an email off as soon as I finish this reply.

This is about a personal situation involving your fellow pilots. It is inappropriate for a union to be blabbing to the world about their business. You would do those two pilots a favor by shutting up about this and let things play out in a private matter. You and I have no need to know anything about these two pilots personal situations. They are not reality TV stars they are our fellow pilots, just imagine what you would want said about you if it was your problem.
