Thus, based on that, I believed your info to obviously be in error.
Now that same website has changed the name of the Captain, and he IS a former DAL pilot. I agree with the others that this is legitimate info, and I can almost certainly guarantee that his beef is due to the terminated pension. This is his way of sticking it to ALPA (at least in his mind), which I'm sure is the source of his angst.

Now that these two pilots have been identified, and NEITHER is a former Delta pilot, how about you going back and delete all of your posts that had false allegations and were attempts at slamming the Delta pilot group?:mad:

Unless its happened, the FO will grieve his termination. Only the outcome of that will determine his fate.

The difference between the NWA pilots being terminated and the Delta pilots that landed on the wrong runway in ATL, is the way the media handled the story and more importantly, the way the company handled the media. The FAA assisted in the flow of information in both incidents. NWA, high flow, DAL, low flow.
Both these incidents happened within a few weeks. It is far more dangerous to land on the wrong runway, than overflying a destination in my humble opinion. |

If I was in the back of the airplane and had my choice of an overfly, or landing on the wrong runway, I would of chose the overfly. The extenuating circumstances are the same, distraction. The difference was there was a check airman on DAL when the runway incident happened.

Not arguing the truth Carl, but we need to be sure the source is valid before we put somebody's name on here in that light. There was a pilot by that last name with those initials on the DAL seniority list, but I can't verify that it is the same person.
Go to DBMS; Personnel; Cross Ref.; type in 'cann'; enter the corresponding number and enter. You'll find his full name, hire date, e-mail and assorted phone numbers...(at least you could when I checked last night.) If you'd like, call him up and /or e-mail him and find out. Please report back what you find out. Respectfully, DFW... :) |
All;
This type of back and forth of issues that are being dealt with by ALP, D-ALPA, the company and the FAA only serves to divide our group. I honestly believe that DAL and ALPA will do everything within their power in regard to this issue. The facts are that the pilots opted to take the revocation and one year suspension for the opportunity to regain their certificates in a year time. That year is quickly approaching. Instead of firing shots, lets look at what has been said by both the company and ALPA. Facts, no more, no less. ALPA has not commented. Is that odd to you? It means that they do not comment on active cases. It means that the issue is on going. I understand the angst you have, but firing a volley at one crew to spare the other is divisive. Both cases are separate and have their own set of circumstances. Let the ones working for the benefit of the pilots involved do their jobs. Trust me when I say that everyone wants a successful outcome to this. Also understand that pilots sometimes get rehired after they are fired. There are legal steps in each instance, and no two are the same. Patience, no one is being left out in the wind. Sometimes their is success and some times there is not. I kindly ask for you to not rehash something that will benefit no one. |
