If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck chances are it is a ,,,,,,oh the fleet capt on the 330 wasn't a duck but he has been part of operation visine....Now there are only 1 or 2 left to be done away with.Seems to be the delta way.

On reserve, can they reroute you into a non-golden x day on a whim, or can they only do that when no other reserves are available to cover? I know its in Sec. 23 somewhere, but that's why I have you guys!! :)

Why does anyone care who the fleet captain is?
I don't think the north types realize the limited roll that fleet captains play. The airline is line oriented and much of the standards stuff comes from the LCP side of things. Of course the way this push without numbers stuff was designed and implemented I've got to wonder.... |

The worst part may be that the flight returning to ATL had a tail strike on landing.
Look for some additional single engine landing practice in next year's recurrent. |

If you tag it on landing youre at the very least scraping sheet metal... |

Probably not good. Landing strikes are always worse than take-off. |

I have not heard how bad. Just that they hit the tail.

Another union vote down
Delta has just issued the following statement to news media about IAM representation being rejected by Delta TechOps stores employees. Please continue to monitor DNN for updates on this breaking story.
“Once again our people have decided that Delta’s direct relationship between employees and leaders works. This is the eighth workgroup in which representation was resolved since Delta’s merger, resulting in no union for the more than 41,000 employees in these groups. We urge the IAM and AFA to respect our people’s choice and the will of the majority. Delta people have patiently waited two years to have their pay, benefits, work rules, and seniority aligned. It’s time to move forward.” |
