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

All,

I was a little grumpy yesterday and may have taken a more negative turn than normal. Better now, sorry.

However a picture is worth a K words so here is my apology and way of reminding people that it's under a week to College Football (GT opens on the 1st):

We are all feeling the pain tsquare. The last AE is sending me from 74% in category to 87% in category. Back to reserve........sigh.

I was sent from 97% to 102%, hence out of category...still waiting for the exact dates for training in November. Hoping a supplemental AE to fill empty A330 positions might possibly move me back in with reinstatement.

Doubt it, they would then have to negotiate a higher hourly rate for the A330-200 that is being fitted with dual bunks and increased gross weight for missions over 12 hours.

It is time we start thinking about UPS/Continental type pay structures. The company is adding lower paying airplanes to replace the higher paying ones. (737s replacing 757s and 767s). tsquare has been saying this for a long time.

And yes we ALL feel the squeeze.

Flatten the payscales.

Ok. So a small amount of NYC flying may leave. However, MSP will likely lose more flying in addition to the 330 base that was already closed, & it's likely MEM will lose ALL of it's flying.

Just remember. This is the same media that stated the East Coast was 'ROCKED' by a 5.8 earthquake. I mean all that carnage(no damage or deaths) was so tragic. Our countries media is pathetic.

Along this same note.... Wednesday we had a flight leaving KPDK (Atlanta) and 2 our our guys (CP included) said they felt a tremble on the plane and said there was no Helicopter, jet blast, or anything that would have done that. They said it had to be some sort of small earthquake! I called BS on this to them, but who knows! Did any of you ATL boys feel anything? I feel like a moron even asking about this:eek:

Would have been Wednesday at about 1715 lcl

That's true guys. The natural rotation of the hurricane plus the projected track have the water being pushed right at Manhattan, Long Island, LGA, EWR, JFK etc. It could get ugly.

Man yall are a bunch of negative nellies. This could be RA's dream come true. Hurricane force winds blow term 3 away and the storm surge washes away all the asbestos! Boom, there goes a big dent in ma DAL's capex!!!!!!
