Funny, except likely one of the many full time flight pay loss volunteers is spending your dues dollars to produce it. Wonder where Spakler's IP pings from? Herndon or close to Virginia Ave?
Here's a fair question: what percentage of DAL pilots make over $250K/year?
Now what percentage of DAL ALPA volunteers make over $250K/yr?
Are ALPA volunteer tax returns or compensation public domain and obtainable under the FOIA and Labor Department reporting rules?

Funny, yes. But, is it accurate?

Trust me, I never said it did. That stuff should be flown here. Period. I want all branded flying flown by the Delta Pilots, and will constantly work to that end.
As for the second part, We will get the seats that were part of the flow agreement. If anyone is stupid enough not to flow, then that number gets reduced to those that have flowed.

Because prior to 2010, zero had flowed. Does that mean had furloughs occured at that time, zero could have flowed back? That doesn't sound right. If 405 could have flowed back in 2008, 2009 and 2010, then why couldn't 405 flow back now? And if CPS adds another 200 or 300+ pilots who can not flow up, and therefore DL pilots can not flow down, do the 405 that can flow still go to the top?

A lot of us felt that way. But JC and the RJDC pretty much poisoned that well. It'd be great if the entire pilot group wasn't painted with that brush, but I understand why it is. As for me, I was in my 3rd week of indoc when JC wrote his letter (Boomer is of similar vintage, I believe). And so, I send out resumes with 8.5 years at CMR, a whopping 300 RJ PIC, and watch 5-year RJ captains at other DCI regionals move on. It is what it is.

It is a convoluted mess to be sure. The interesting thing tho is that Comair pilots have been flying DAL pax for many years. DAL has access to all of the checkride data, sick leave data and personnel files. My hope is that it is on that sort of rational basis that DAL extends interviews and job offers to Comair pilots and not just using the broad brush Comair poisoned well approach. But hey, I'm just one guy.

But there were PLENTY of line CMR guys who could/should have come out and recalled JC and his boys when that letter came out. It didn't happen; and that's why ALL are paying the price.

Oh, ASA and Bob Arnold get a lot of credit for hiring DAL furloughed pilots. Just how many did they hire and how many of those were former ASA? Then compare that number to the ASA/CMR hires at Delta 2006-2008.

I get why one of the 1310 who was furloughed still hates CMR. Were you even on the property? If not, why arre you carrying a torch for the past when we have a future yet to be written in front of us?

As one of the TK+XXX number holders, I pretty much have no love loss for JC, Ford, Cooksey, and the RJDC supporters, yet I do support the hiring of guys like Boomer and CaptainV. The sins of the fathers should not be the sins of the sons, so to speak.
Yet, ASA wouldn't hire me back when I was furloughed. Apparently, I stepped on too many toes on the way out the door the first time!

Slow, I beleive that ASA hired about 35 total DAL furloughees. I could be off on that and including UAL guys as well. FWIW, there are still AMR furloughees still there.
