I suppose the FAA will just look the other way and not consider it a safety issue during the "transition" if most of the instructors decide not to move to ATL and not to instruct (at leaston the 747 and Airbii)

He lives in MSP and doesn't really need the job. Don't think he will be paying for hotels so he can work for DGS in ATL.

T,
Thanks for saying in 3 sentances what needed to be said.

I think there is a little leverage here to get this back if ppl decide they won't instruct and have to pay their own way.
P.S. I am NOT an instructor.

Why would there be a distinction between SLI and other pilots who don't live in base? (honest question)

AE is coming out very soon. MSP 330 base closing, ATL 330 and 320 base opening. From a very reliable 4th floor source.

I thought when the nwa/delta merger happened a few years ago Richard promised the state of minnesota that we would keep thousands of jobs in Minnesota, and he specifically noted the bldg N training center. Interesting.
Good luck to all those Natco instructors. Good people.

I believe the MSP airport loan payoff they announced is required if Delta reduces jobs in the area.

When a new thread about DPA showed up today, it was immediately moved to "Union Talk." The ALPA/Jet Blue thread is still in the Major section. If you already had time to move the original DPA thread a long time ago and then today's DPA thread to Union Talk, then you also had time to move the ALPA/Jet Blue thread that has existed for several weeks and to which I have called the moderator's attention three times now. I'm not buying your lame excuse. Sorry, but it seems obvious to me that you are practicing selective censorship. Not cool.
