The jet blue thread was on here for what...a week or two? How long was the DPA thread on here? At least a month or two before it was moved. It only got moved because it started to look like a childish flightinfo or dalpa forum thread.

Being angry and yelling on a web board is no way to get support. Using the tools provided, flagging posts, notes to mods, is the way to get things done here. The mods are line pilots with schedules and family's. Maybe and email to a mod would have been more appropriate. You unfortunately sound like your arch nemesis on the dalpa forum when you start telling people they need better reading comprehension.
I do agree with you on a lot of topics. Just not your chosen delivery of the message. Keep up the pressure on Dalpa though. They need the input. Respectfully, Hoserpilot And, no, I'm not perfect. But I think I have treated people with respect a lot more than I have gotten in return. As far as keeping the pressure on DALPA... well that seems to be a lost cause. But I'm not a quitter... so don't worry. |

Ouch, and viola' Atlanta gets super senior. Smart folks will bid percentages on this next AE.
When does the early out close? Isnt the conventional wisdom that the AE will come out after the early out #s are known? Hasnt the 330 goes east and the -er goes west been the plan since the first synergistic day? If the big bus goes to ATL, I think I will slide into it. |

French airplanes are SCARY! :eek: I recommend everyone stay away from the 330 if it comes to ATL. Hard to land in a crosswind, the control laws do wild unexpected things, sidestick is nearly impossible to master, and the tails fall off at random . . . .
Same goes for the 320 if it comes to ATL :p |

Wouldn't the Army prefer issues over interpretations of policy and getting them fixed be handled discreetly, or has the military become so permissive that soldiers are encouraged to start a media row over consumer complaints? I know we sure see a lot of military enlisted in front of cameras with complaints these days.
(edit ... question was answered above ... soldier has a travel card) Just re-read the "Social Media Policy" and if a person identified as a employed pilot were to get in front of a camera to complain about something like a hotel's service they'd be in violation. Lighten up a bit, Soldiers have a long history of complaining when they feel they have been wronged. I doubt the everyday Soldier knows the details of the government contract with Delta Air Lines. These guys were just blowing off steam, considering they are returning from Afghanistan, I think we should give them the benefit of doubt. Maybe Delta could direct bill the government??? Disclosure: AP spent 20 years in the Army, both enlisted and as a officer. |

Disclosure: AP spent 20 years in the Army, both enlisted and as a officer. The government SHOULD handle this stuff via direct bill... but instead they force guys to give Uncle Sam an interest free loan, to be repaid when (and if) their unit sees fit. This isn't bad on Delta, it's bad on the gov. Every time you travel or execute a set of TAD orders, you pay out of pocket (or put it on the gov. travel card, which counts against your personal credit) and hope you get reimbursed. That policy should be an embarrassment to our government. It's funny, when I'm on a trip with Delta and check in to a hotel, and all I have to do is sign my name (and not pay out of pocket) it fees like a treat! Shouldn't the real question here be: Why do these guys have ANYTHING to do with the financial transactions necessary to get home from a combat zone? I can't complain too bad, but I have a number of Marine buddies who on multiple occasions were forced to fund sets of TAD orders for two and three week training evolutions... so they paid BOQ or hotel, food, etc. and were never reimbursed for lodging or per diem. Absolutely criminal. My old man got activated for OIF in 2003. He was an Army Reserve JAG guy. He said he spent a good percentage of his time contacting service member's creditors asking them for patience, as many of the troops who had purchased plane tickets, etc. to execute orders were not getting reimbursed and could not pay their bills.
