I did not mention the DPA. I mentioned ALPA. The union that represents the pilots of Delta Air Lines. Fairly appropriate for a thread entitled: "Any Latest & Greatest about Delta?"

What if your first wife left and took your first house?

Another way to look at it is that the guys over at American are stepping up and fighting the fight. There are fights worth fighting, even if everyone is telling you you're going to lose. Pilots need to realize, we're the ones that have the ultimate power.

The abuse of airline employees at the hands of the NMB and the government (which is bought and sold by the bankers running this whole mess) needs to be brought into the open and fought.

Turning practically every thread you post on into an alpa sucks thread is getting a little tiresome. I don't even read that tripe over there anymore... sadly, I am finding this thread a little less interesting as the days wane on too...

Okay, since we are on our own getting iCrew to work with Android.

Disclaimers:

1. You must already know how to change your Android Applications Settings to allow installation of non-Market Android applications.

2. This has been tested on, and only on, a Droid2 running Android 2.2(Froyo). I don't have a Android 3(Honeycomb) device to test.

3. If you are using an earlier version than 4b4 and it works, dont mess with it. If you are using 4b5 or 4 then this may help you with iCrew.

3. Use this information at your own risk.

This is how to install an older version of Firefox for Android that works with iCrew:

Optional step - Uninstall the current Firefox using Application Manager.

1. Use your phone web browser to go to "ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/releases/4.0b4/android-r7/en-US/" WITHOUT THE QUOTATION MARKS

or you can try this link Index of /pub/mozilla.org/mobile/releases/4.0b4/android-r7/en-US

or type this link into your browser Index of /pub/mozilla.org/mobile/releases/4.0b4/android-r7/en-US

Download (click on) fennec-4.0b4.en-US.eabi-arm.apk

2. Find the file on your phone where it was downloaded and click on it.

3. Install the App.

4. When done installing launch Firefox and test deltanet and iCrew.

I selected Firefox version 4b4 because 4b5 and the latest version gave me problems in iCrew.

Good Luck and use at your own risk.

I'll try and follow this up with a Mac version to revert back to FF3.6 in OSX.

Thanks, the link you posted did not work in my browser, but I did a google search for the apk link and found a website with this:

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mobile/re...S.eabi-arm.apk

click on that link on your android and it will start downloading to your phone

Here is the website I found it on:

tried it on my EVO and it works:)

A couple of things:

I said "minimum",
Southwest Airlines says 717 pay will be 737 pay, keep that in mind, because what do we have that equals the DC9-30 also known as a 717? Nothing. We do have the larger DC9-50. So we'll make DC9-50 pay = Southwest pay.
I am assuming that DALPA is good enough, especially with ALPA helping, to get us what SWAPA is able to get their pilots,
I am assuming that Delta is as well run as Southwest such that it too can afford to pay Delta pilots what Southwest pays their pilots for equal work,
So what then will pay be? Well here is 2011 pay adjusted to SWA pay and I'm sure 2012 will be better:

Excellent post. Hard to believe, but even at these rates we would be making less than we did 7 years ago!

With their work rules and scope we'd be making probably more. Funny how alfa mentioned how much more their pilots fly. Back to reality, they fly the same or less than we do and get paid a crapload more on rigs.

This thread needs this to be restated:
