Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

Who has a better reserve system than us, and what do they have? This is my first airline... I'm domestic, not subject to 24 hour short call, but I think that would blow. Other than that, most guys I talk to from other airlines don't have long call.

This is the nut of my idea. Use the money saved to give Carl a raise, then just roll everyone in behind him on the same scale.

That's using current contract numbers, of course. After that, go for a real raise for the whole group.

Must have been Dixon. The rest of us can't afford that stuff. except newK. The company pays him extra to "retain talent."

You met a DAL pilot who was buying matching 911 turbos? What was he going to put those turbos on?????

That was actually a SWA pilot pretending to be a delta pilot, so as to appear poor and work a better deal from the manager.

Just wait until you come over here. You get issued a gold plated toilet to take home, your farts smell spectacular, and you get a midget issued to you solely to wipe your behind after you use said gold plated toilet.

Sorry, thought you were denigrating National Review, the brainchild of the Great William F. Buckley. BTW, Fox is the only news without a political agenda.:D
