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

Ha. Maybe. But since Slow is a DALPA insider with access to all the "secret" info, I'm going to assume that his "statement of fact" is correct. I mean it's not possible for anyone from DALPA to make a mistake, right? Yeah, that never happens...

How'd I do, Sink? :D

"Secret info". You might want to look at DeltaNet and Anderson's memo. Look at the capacity bullet.

I guess you meet your definition of insider as well...

There are more presentations, BTW. I listened to the end of LUV, tried to stay awake through AMR's version of Michele Burns. LCC is up now.

The LCC guy says the slot swap situation "up and down" on a daily basis, and sees a more than 50/50 chance of something getting done, but it "isn't done now". I think he also said the schedule changes wouldn't be effective until next year.

For those holding their breath.

Just a question regarding disability insurance at DAL. I've done some searching and I've sort of pieced this together. If you for example, have a condition that prevents you from flying again, you get 50% of your salary from DAL indefinitely? And then you can join the DPMA and get it 'topped up' to you last current salary? How long does it last, etc. I just want to know how the coverage works if god forbid you suffer a huge med issue and can't fly.

Thx.

Email Karen Fleck Browne at DALPA, she can explain it better.

A few questions:

The slides (Thanks acl!) show retiring of "120 of our least efficient aircraft over the next 18 months including DC-9-50, Saab turbo prop fleets, and 60 50-seat regional jets".

Weren't these cuts previously announced, and there's basically no additional announced fleet reduction?

With our DCI agreements, how does Delta go about saying to one of them that we want to eliminate say 25% of their fee for departure 50 seat RJ feed within six months?

I would think with fuel prices where they are, and knowing that the 50 seat RJ loses money, DAL would want to whack that fleet segment pretty hard.

Looks like Q2 capacity -2% instead of +2% as originally planned.
Includes -15-20% Japan through May, but the revised plan still will be +5% vs. +13% Japan thereafter. Atlantic cut back 4%.

...and -25% MEM.

Thought it was 4% overall, not just the Atlantic.

Read the slides.

4% total 2% more than already announced
3% domestic
4% Atlantic which will really take effect after Labor Day
6%+ in South America
5% increase in Pacific after the 15-20% drop though May.

Pacific was to be up 13% now it will only be up 5%.
