Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

Don't forget "calendar day", which means every day the trip touches, you get a min of 5:15No more 3 day trips with an allnighter only worth 11 hours...

Exactly this^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ work rules and trip rigs are HUGHLY IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!!:eek:

I agree, if we can get some of these work rule concessions, then the pay goes up and management will be able to shield it from other work groups.

I hope our NC understands that they aren't negotiating for any other work group but us. I really don't care if the company feels it has to give what we negotiate to other groups. That is the company's decision and our negotiators have to lay that out for them.

I say keep the pay rates the same, but give a $500 bonus for each landing you actually make. Then give that to the other groups too. :D

Along a similar vein the DPA could outsource their legal council to and get their own Ford and Harrison attorneys.

San Diego government wants to charge cat owners 25 dollars per cat. I can see a lot of mainline flight attendants needing a lot more money.

Yes, i could do that, but repeat offender laws then come into play.

On this note, I got sprayed in the face by a flight attendant.

Mechanic came on board to check TCAS after we landed. I was leaving the cockpit but stuck my head to talk to him. Dude was gassy. Even as a guy and as a dad that changes a lot of diapers I was shocked by the ferocity of the smell.

The FA decided she'd spray the cockpit but I turned to walk out got it right in my face.

I couldn't imagine mace. I don't know how some of y'all handle that.

:D

Thanks for the reply PG. Guess we should find out soon. :)
