I created my own job called Buck In The Air where I flew happy couples to 6,000 feet in a Cessna 337 equipped with a bed. By lying about my resume I was able to go straight from that to Delta. Why do you ask?" I think it was an Aztec though. He had mousepads, koozies (sp?), t-shirts and other gear for sale, all with "Buck in the Air" printed on them. I think he only had one or two couples actually purchase the "mile high" package, but it was definitely one of the more creative ways I've heard of to build multi time. :D Sidenote: we nearly ran into legal trouble in LAS partly because of Buck on a bachelor party, but that's a story for another time. . . . |

You are correct that I can't guarantee anything, however, I can't believe that you think having a divided pilot group, especially right when section 6 is about to begin, is something that the company is afraid of. How long do you figure that it would take DPA to get up and running and actually have a contract opening position?
Sadly, I don't think the DPA will quite have enough cards by this Section 6. If my prediction of an extremely weak opener from DALPA is correct, DPA will be a shoe-in but it will be too late to change a terribly weak outcome. Carl |
How come the DPA 3000 strong haven't run up a recall resolution at every single base and installed their own people in every LEC in order to force change?
Surely if you are "involved" enough to send in a card then you are willing to take an extra day out of your life to actually show up at a LEC meeting to make sure your platform will be implemented. LEC meeting turnout is traditionally very weak, and if there are as many "fencers" out there as are claimed, I'm sure that you could eject the current leadership and give the pilots of delta the leadership of "DPA proponents"...... Start walking the walk of your ideals of "bettering the lives of Delta Pilots", or just stop talking already. |
Pardon the interruption however I think this is faster than me searching the contract.
Finishing a trip today and I go into golden days tomorrow. We have mx and now they have us dhding tomorrow which is also my 7th day. If I deviate from my dhd today do I still get paid as though I'm working tomorrow or is my PB day that they're giving me stay on my schedule? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks TK |

They are not within a country mile of our future contract 2012 rates. I have no idea where you got that info. Their 737 pays 210 per hour. In 2012 the 737 at Delta will be more than 256 an hour. With inflation adjustments it will have to be near 300 an hour, or I vote NO!!!!.

Do we have many guys regaling the pax with stories of their military heroics and resume? I've personally heard this a few times, and my brother-in-law just had the same experience on an -88 the other night from ATL-PNS.
Maybe I'll start doing my own version of this: "Ladies and gentleman, you'll be relieved to know that I have accumulated many thousands of flight hours flying between such airports as SBN, AZO, MKE, etc. I have flown many light piston aircraft, hold type ratings in various Regional Jets, and am a Gold Seal CFII/MEI . . . . . . " The only people who think pilots are cool are little kids and other pilots :rolleyes: No disrespect meant to our military pilots/vets. I just find the self-congratulating PA's a little nauseating. |

I thought about asking him for a job to supplement my FO pay |

People have been using this "Section 6 is about to begin" argument for over a year now. It's about 8 months away and was 20 months away when the DPA thread started. What constitutes "right around the corner"? When will there be a right time for you? After this next contract is signed, will you still view Section 6 as right around the corner?
