Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

Yeah, from looking at the bids for First Officers it appears the f-NWA bases are going to go very junior, even the great bases like SEA. I never thought I could hold the 767 in Seattle, but apparently it is there for the taking. What a good deal.

Oh waiter... I'll have some of what he's having...

Exactly. Four people on the MEC seem to understand what negotiating leverage means.

I weep for this "git er dun" attitude that some have. It does not bode well.

To quote Han Solo "I'm not in this for your revolution, and I'm not in it for you...I expect to be paid".

Four minutes before your post! Sorry.

Unlikely the results will be out before tomorrow, but stranger things have happened.

If they resolved the guys putting in DTW/MSP 755 sans ER on this bid it may be sooner.

You guys don't have to worry. Not a chance I'd ever do that. Sorry to pee in your wheaties. Sometimes you have to face reality. Not saying its right, just saying. While we're at it, why don't we demand virtual bases? How about a base in Sydney? Hell, why stop there?:p

Better yet ask around about the good deals some SLI were able to negotiate for themselves....
