I'll put $5 on Reddog. I've seen the f-nwa guys do this before. Never seen them lose.

Besides, I've spent almost all of a decade on reserve.

How is it that a guy can spend most of his career going down a seniority list? Seems mathematically impossible. Huh?

Does it ever get old or do you just love to b1tch and moan about how the merger ruined your life?

I have gone backwards more then forwards for over a decade. Went backwards on relative seniority by a percent from the SLI and will never see my relative seniority as compared to what it would have been at fNWA. Guess what it is water under the bridge and you need to get over the fact that things did not work out the way you had hoped.

I would rather look at the positives of this new airline and pilot group. Every fDAL guy I have met has been a good guy/gal just like the fNWA guys. Most want to just look forward but it is the 10% that want to b!tch about how they got screwed that are going to keep the north/south issues alive.

I also thought you were a 2007/2008. If so how have you been on reserve at DAL going backwards for a decade?

Glad you had a great experience. I think this will be the norm. We're gonna make a good family. :)

Kudos to you & your Son. My brother just made it back from his Afghanistan tour late Wed. night. That's 4 tours in Iraq & 1 Afghanistan.

Semper Fi!

Johnson,

Please tell your brother we all really appreciate his service.

Hey guys,

I thumbed through the contract several times, but couldn't find the table that shows are advance pay based on YOS. Can somebody point me in the right direction?

Thanks. :)

Geez, Bar and I were just poking a little fun at the tsquare reddog spat over schedulers and grievances. Trying to have a sense of humor. Maybe you have the problem here.:D

My prayers are with you both. It looks like my oldest son will be going over in Feb 2011 time frame. At least that is what they are telling him.

As a LCA on the 320, I would look forward to sharing your professional observations. Not sure what that comment you made was all about.....please put down the martini glass.

I'd bid the 75/76, except I'd hate to go back to old technology:D

The point was, if I knowingly bust minimums to get the flight completed I should be called on the carpet. Just like the scheduler who knowingly busts the contract to get the flight completed. They need to be held accountable, and the grievance process is how you document. It's time to dust off the grievance process and forget the bubba-bubba network.

By the way, I finally figured out what WDR stands for; Hey Joe...WhatDeRwe weigh?

All the Men & Women of our Armed Forces are in my prayers everynight. I have respect for those that serve. Brave, courageous souls indeed. I often scoff at those in this career who complain about being gone so much. My brother did 4 tours (7 month duration) in about 38 months. That folks, is being away from your family a lot. And they do it with tents & no hot water.

Satch, Denny

Your Boys are in my prayers.
