Distracting for ahem....2 minutes. Now what? :)

HaHa. I'll keep Em coming all day. I got a spank bank that would crash a regular mans computer. TIC.

I think that's generally true, but then again the 767 category in ATL has, at times, been senior to the 7ER. In New York, the 7ER has been getting more senior, even as the trips are getting worse, and there is less, and less (and less) long-haul flying available. The 777 has more productive trips, but a lot less variety, and you get to a point where even a young pilot looks like a bag of sh$t when he gets home, and takes two days to recover. And, generally speaking, I don't think the 765 for DAL had better QOL than the 7ER, and I wonder if people would have favored the A330 over the 757 over on the North side. So it can't be all about comfort. If it was, no WB F/O would ever leave to become a Mad Dog Captain, right?

But if this was strictly a money issue, you would look at the seniority list, and see it neatly stovepiped. Because it isn't we know that some of the people factor in some of the QOL decisions a little differently. But still, by and large, we all know that people chase the money to some extent. Which is all I'm arguing: money is a driver in people's decisions, and the seniority distribution relects it sufficiently. Under a LBP system, it should be more evenly distributed.

That doesn't make sense, I'm sorry. Under that logic, we would be a company of Beech 1900's.

OK, let's ask. But you don't even have to go to England. There are regionals that have common payscales for their RJ's, and some that pay more for a CRJ 900 than a CRJ 700. Maybe we should look there?

Columbia has a sock on the door and I'm out here typing away...

Delta should be figuring out how to supply Japan with our 747's. Maybe even bringing back some 200's. Japan's eastern ports are wrecked. They need a modern day Berlin Air Lift.

One of the neat things about those who worked for Flying Tigers & later FedEx was actually collecting service metals for some of these efforts. It is hugely profitable work that badly needs doing. Japan has very little in the way of natural resources. Everything is going to come in via whatever ports are up and running. Mostly, that means airports.

Too funny! Make sure that is not your sock...if so don't ask where the other is. haha

Just gotta get the store for some more celery. :)

They did say the U.S. was chartering aircraft to pick up Americans who wanted to leave.

I think you're very right and just like ACL, parking the 744s would be a horrible idea unless there is something going on behind the scenes cost wise.

My thoughts and prayers go out to our crews in Japan -- I hope they remain safe and protected.
