Happy Thanksgiving to everyone out there, flying the planes, serving the customers, moving the freight and sitting in hotels on this Thanksgiving.

So much to be thankful for: a healthy family, my daughter's 1st birthday today, a great job with Delta, a pleasant merger, and my conversion to DTW in a few days. No more commuting!

Happy Turkey day guys!!
It was time to dump ALPA 6 years ago when pensions started disappearing. Now we deserve to be abused by management. It's our own fault for not standing up for ourselves. I keep reading the same thing on here from different posters. If ALPA screws up just one more time (insert item of your choice - scope, raising retirement age, pension, ATP required to be airline pilot, crewpass, super pay for ALPA officers, etc.), they'll be gone. I'm convinced ALPA's not going anywhere and this career does not get any better. We'll be lucky to maintain current status quo.

For those out there that say the company doesn't upgrade into business class, stand at the gate sometime! Premium seats being given away left and right.

I would just look out for that. I can't offer any of the skiing advice you're looking for but it sounds fun.
It looks like for that flight over half of the 65 business seats were given away to coach revenue passengers. First and business class is given away so often no wonder why no one wants to pay for it.

Sailing,

I've got to say I think I'm going with Pineapple Guy on this one. I also think the company will try. I don't think it will float but I think they will try.

Deltas network is hugely different pre to post merger. I think this will influence their try for the 100 seat scope.

And if anybody is wondering..........the answer from me is also NO!!

Happy Thanksgiving to all!!

Denny
