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

Hmmm... I flew home today out of JFK and everything went really smoothly. Except for a long line for takeoff, I had a really easy experience. Oh... wait... that's right! I took Jetblue home from JFK today. We need to get our crap together in JFK asap or we're going to be losing customers like mad. "The year of the customer..." That's funny! :)

You numbers have changed from two weeks ago. Last time it was 305, and 600. What happened to the 600?

Point is that the numbers are fluid as the world economy tries to find sure footing. The 300 announced is a floor, everything else is up in the air. It is best because even flight ops does not know what their numbers are going to be.

They do not like their leaks, and are doing everything to shutter them. They shut ACL down. That should tell you something.

Hey, to the guy that just sick-called the 8 day Narita trip (DTW7ERB, tomorrow); how about you wait a few more hours before you make the call so maybe somebody could get a sweet green slip out of the deal?

When you pay temp-work wages, you get temp-work performance.

Someone did that last night on the ERB in ATL for a CDG trip. They have the reserves to cover it though. That is why you always see most of the SC assignments go to pilots with 4+ days of availability.

Unless you are NDAL then it's all done...except for the walk-around.;)

Ferd, not that there really is any information we need stat, but just in case, this sounds like a job you know how to do...
