15% payraise? Passes probably at 55% min.
That's my feel talking to pilots. You can try to talk about SWA and Fedex but some don't care. "I don't want to fly all night!" um, even on the 88 I seem to be landing at 1-3am lately. "I don't want to fly SWA trips. It's too much. I come here, I want 1-2 legs a day, I want long overnights so I can drink some beer. I mean those guys do like 20 hour 3 days! That's stupid." I'll keep fighting but 55% at a min if they promise 15% raise, that's my sad bet. |

The merger committee IS up and running at the company's request. The target remains unknown to those on the outside.
The two usual suspects (AS and HI) are what the rumors are circulating around. Nu |

Delta and NWA was a full blown merger. Would buying JB, AK or anyone else also be considered a merger or an aqusistion?

For the folks that you run into, who do not want to use FDX as a peer airline because of night flying : 1) tell them to ask Buzz about his MCO redeyes, etc. 2) FDX is a 24/7 operation with significant daytime ops......whether by default on ocean crossings, or all daytime domestic. 3) Somewhere around 50% seniority in seat will enable you to fly all days, if you choose. It will cost you 1-2 days more per month.....14-15 day flights vs. 12 night flights in an average month. 4) My last 5 years there I exclusively flew days....and I never rose above #20 in my seat. 5) FDX definitely needs to be a frontrunner in our contract goals. The DAL operation is much more similar to FDX than SWA...IMHO :D Regards, BG |

Are there really Delta pilots willing to taxi past those green and white airplanes in Atlanta and accept less than what they will be getting? Also, who is flying 1-2 legs a day with long overnights and drinking beer on the -88?? :confused: |
