Make sure you mark down that you want a paper version of the JPWA that way you can have it in your flt kit. That is what I do. I get the electronic version for DALPA.

I think there are about 400 on the bottom of the list that do not have a 2001 or earlier hire below them.
That means that unless you are on the bottom the scope seat trigger will in theory protect you a little more after SOC.
Now our union could vote that away, but from what I am hearing that is not in their plans at all.

FWIW, the last FNWA pre 9/11 pilot is 11938 under the combined list. Basically the split at DAL is in the Jan 7 2008 class and Jan 21 2008 class.

We have 12416 pilots so thats 478 pilots from the bottom to that number.

Nevermind, I just got the survey email. I like the CD option.

I'm glad someone is positive about the economy. But, we just had more jobless claims this past month than ever before in history (since they started tracking these statistics). The impact of those jobs being lossed won't be felt for a while. We can't even think about a recovery until the number of jobless rates slows, if not reverses.

We've had 20+ years of spending and no saving or paying off debt in this country and its time to pay the bill. I hope I'm wrong, but I think it will e 5-10 years before we get back on our feet.
