Everybody remember those comparisons of our pay to that of TSA passenger screening officers. Of course, those were all valid and still are, but....

looking at Drudge's lead picture today had me thinking you couldn't pay me enough to do that job!! Yikes!

And there is your random thought for the day. Somehow I'm just that little bit more grateful for my job (having not been subjected to the junk screen yet).

With the system we have you only need log on a couple times a day for a minute or two to see what is available. Makes life easier and I prefer it to what the flight attendants have. If your a junior pilot in category you might prefer a first come first served system but I don't think the majority would.
Then why do we allow 23k to throw seniority out the window? If I can hold a trip that checks out early in the day, why does a reroute check out at midnight?

Heyas T,

I think there is one more. Anyone know if the above was for above wing or below wing?

Sounds like the AFA is going to press-to-test.

Of course they (AFA) will... they are desperate now. They lost DAL and are about to lose the Airtran FAs... I heard that UAL will go with the CAL union... AFA won't exist in a year probably. It sounds like this was for the under wing group.

Because the company would go right back into bankruptcy if we didn't.

The IAM has two additional unionization efforts underway at Delta. On Nov. 22, votes will be tabulated for about 700 maintenance "stock and stores" employees. On Dec. 7, votes will be tabulated for about 16,000 passenger service agents.
In a memo to employees, Gil West, Delta senior vice president for airport customer service, said the carrier is "ready to begin the process of aligning pay, benefits and work rules, and producing a single seniority list," but must wait to see if the IAM files a complaint about the election procedure with the National Mediation Board.
Following the announcement of the results, Delta shares were up nearly 4%, leading the airline sector. Shares were trading at $13.73, up 52 cents.
