^^^^^ Wow, the nation's fastest growing major airline is doing great! I'm glad we could help them out by filling in their thin routes with DAL pax. If the numbers above prove true, the Alaska guys hired this fall will be 20% up the list by 2014! That's going to be painful if we merge and the SLI goes anywhere near relative. Am I jealous? Oh maybe a little. And I know, DALPA, "we could always quit and go to work there." Let's tighten up the codeshares and scope in CY12! Just a friendly weekly reminder from your neighborhood FlyZ.

Perhaps day and tire are the same term? Getting a four day rotation means your car won't wobble anymore. |

Same reason they pulled the Delta stock price off. Spin control.
Carl But I guess hyperbole is mo' better. Based on your theory, the company must think we are too stupid to find the stock price anywhere else. Edit: just logged on to the Flt Ops page on Deltanet. Lo and Behold! The stock price is back at the top! Next conspiracy?............. |

Merging with Alaska makes ZERO sense. From a management standpoint we get everything we need without the hassles of merging. Plus, Alaska comes with a large price tag.

Buy your own cows, hire your own cow hands and make your own milk?
Then make a milkshake... I'm hungry |

I know what my triggering metric is for answering the phone, and it is only for known callers. All others go to voicemail. And my voicemail is notorious for deleting voicemails.

WOW! Sounds like someone is a little sensitive. I hardly think a call from the Chief Pilot's office inquiring about a sick call could be considered "pressuring". If you're really sick, you have nothing to worry about.
Apparently though, being sick isn't the issue. It's occurrences and other metrics that's driving the program. Which begs the question-- If you are sick and use your sick leave, will you be looked upon by your employer as a problem that warrants more attention? And will that cause you to think twice before making the decision that you aren't fit to fly? The FAA thinks it will. But if you don't mind flying with a sick co pilot or captain for a few days, then just roll over and let the company have their way with YOUR decision not to fly. |

I agree with that. I have little kids, and we all get germs from flying. We all get that sort of crud. I almost blew an ear drum a few years ago, so it is something that I do not mess with. If I am congested, I will not fly.
I generally do not answer my phone for anyone unless I am on SC either. |
