Delta traded 6 737-700s to SouthWest in exchange for September 31st.

Now SWA pilots won't make more than Delta pilots for the month of September.

Be careful with that. At my old airline we had a pilot who was sued for pushing a wheelchair. Pilots are not trained to push wheelchairs.

Crazy, but true story.

I used to push wheelchairs for an airline as a summer job. It's very easy, but I had to do a bunch of required computer training to get "qualified.". I agree with your statement.

The day when we can't push wheel chairs, help with bags and assist elderly people will be a sad day. What does that say about our ultra-sensitive society? Not much.

Things are different at DL than NW in that regard. No one will get on your case or allow a lawsuit for something like that.

Leave my poor post alone.

If our section 6 is like the Auburn game, here's what's going to happen.

Delta announces no 100 seat replacement, over staffed, economy bad, FAA announces that all Boeing 757s are grounded pending further maintenance and we have a loss. LM writes in ALPA magazine that Delta pilots are screwed, need to give up on scope and take pay cuts and give back their 401ks.

We're screwed.

Right up until Sailingfun comes in and says, guys, shut up about all your "we're going to be furloughed" crap. Get behind me and do as I say and stop talking about the 717s because you're going to screw this up.

Sailing goes in and removes the LEC reps. LM apologizes. Negotiating committee runs for cover.

Delta and ALPA come out with a TA. SWA pay for the 88 and adjusted accordingly, all SWA plus ever 717 made goes to DAL, all Saudi 90s are acquired, Delta announces no further 100 seat order as money is diverted to 100 762 domestic order... all growth.

Pilots confused.

Sailing carried off the field by Carl and FTB.



Newk, nods in approval.

That was the Auburn game.
