And then there are some of us that are on reserve that were line holders before the deal came out to have a higher ALV. I had a line for 11 months in a row until JAN when they highered it. I've been on reserve since. Thanks to that deal, I've taken a $7000 dollar paycut so far this year. If they cut a deal to keep it high again there better be some good improvements for the 88 FO's. How about paid APD's and reserves picking up trips on days off that pay above the reserve guarantee. Maybe even 150% for whiteslips if it's on a day where the reserve coverage is below the min level which is almost every day.

Yup. Saw it on Delta Net too. It's confirmed. The retirement is of the entire -200 fleet.

West coasters watch out. It would be nice if the company gave us some idea of where they planned to move aircraft around. Oh, I forgot, they don't know. :)

Unreal............The loss of seat positions is the least of our worries as the New Delta. I'm sure those clowns who made that decision to shutter the Cargo have a plan to fill the NRT landing slots that the cargo had occupied...Those slots are use it or lose it. :mad:

the earnings report ought to be interesting tomorrow. Hopefully they give out some positive nuggets of info along with the stinky turd info (ANC -200 bye bye).:cool:

What's really going to be great is that in two years they will look back and say (to themselves) that they should have kept the cargo operation going.

It's really great to put all of our eggs in one basket, isn't it?

Remind me to change my 401K around so I only have one company's stock in it. Not!!

Can you White Slip Out of base a month in advance or do you have to wait until the date is closer?

Thanks

Out of base White Slips are same day/next day only. Snagging those in advance would be nice, though...

You will have the 744's that can pick it back up then.
