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

Final early retirement total stands at 164 pilots with the possibility of adding 2 more guys. Early intel shows 30 747 Capts and 11 747 FOs but the actual list won't be out until later next week.

Talk about unplanned training events! :eek: :D

How did we get to 150 seats?

By writing an example of an item on Delta's wish list.

Apparently CQ bidding won't start until next month, which stinks because I could go in September when I have vacation, & now I can't stop them from putting it right against vacation. :(

Two sources familiar with the matter predicted a split order, with Airbus and Boeing both gaining a major foothold.

Airbus and Boeing both gaining a major foothold? Gaining from whom?

That's like saying the Americans and Germans both gained a major foothold on D-Day.

IF 747 block hours stay consistent, couple those retirements with the 330A positions that went unfilled last bid, and we could have some nice upward movement next bid. Of course, lots of variables in play I'm sure.

They may have more fuel efficient airplanes but lots of debt that could easily force them into chapter 11 so that like their competitors they could do some favorable restructuring. Do we follow?

Tongue in cheek? Yes! Because AMR always get DAL to do silly things.

Anyone else wish that they would have included some information in the contract comparison about our JV partner pilot groups?

OR average W-2s and days off side-by-side?

Much of this will undo the MD's off the 744. Now the 330, that is a different story all together.

1) All of the foreign JV/Skyteam contracts are not in English and it is taking some time to convert them to English and then to the US dollar, and given the current debt crisis, that number is a moving target! :D

2) W-2's are private information, so any comparison would be speculative unless they are able to find pilots willing to disclose their W-2's for a realistic comparison. :rolleyes:
