Does anyone know if the Delta pilots in the advertisements were real Delta pilots?
I had a good time there and liked the people, but at the end of the day I felt like the guy who signed up for a four year stint in the Army because his Army recruiter told him "Sure we can send you to SEAL school, if that's what you want."

Boomer for Delta pilot, next hiring cycle. 
....and, Gloopy for MEC chairman... if we actually had a vote in the process.
Oh, and this:
On top of all that, the DPA got 4 more cards tonight over dinner. ALPA needs to start dancing.

One week we're talking about owning a small businesses or second businesses, of whatever SB meant.
But it was things like an automatic ice machine business, or a business where you employ 30-100 people, or flipping houses business, or slumlord business, or a business that makes computers... or owning a computer that makes businesses.
Anyways, let's put 2 and 2 together.
1. Pilots = Transportation
2. (Some) Pilots = Strip Clubs
3. We have a base in DTW.
So it took less than a week for one of you DTW based pilots to roll out the...

I guess this is suggesting that being home for the birth of a child (only happens a few times in a lifetime) is not a worthy endeavor, and that we should put the mission first? 
Work to live man, not the other way around. I was home (mostly unpaid) when both of my kids arrived and it's something I'd do again a hundred times. You can do an extra 4 day here and there and be back to where you were moneywise. Kinda hard to get back the experience of being there when your kid arrives though.

I did the same thing for the 320... Let's just say I did everything in my power to ensure a nice long run time.
BTW- the new 330 syllabus, you walk in on day 1 and take the SV. ***? The new 320 syllabus is similar but with a day or 2 of "ground." It is not what us Delta South guys are used to with the CD and then a week of ground... and even moreso for the North guys. All the fleets are going to this E-qual stuff that will change over to a similar footprint. Cutting a bit too deep... I think the failures on the SV are going to go way up.

Anyway, why I agreed to do the gig up in ATL. If I'm going to be stuck with the new way, at least I get a no jeopardy shot at the SV in case I need to "see" it again

I agree. I'm one of those slow guys who needs to ask a question or two in class. Better there than the oral

I will tell you right now you will not be ready for it via the practice only. I'm a freaking sponge when it comes to this stuff, and I wouldn't have passed the SV... At least not without a lot of extra unpaid time, which I would not be willing to put in.
Now that I know about the new format, I will be writing ALPA tomorrow. Unbelievable.

True, but it was Delta's marketing scam.

It is good that Delta has updated the HPRM and is now in compliance with the law. For the first 8 months of 2010, that was not the case.
Delta thought they were in compliance with a law they never had to comply with. When Delta did have to comply, they assumed they were doing it correctly when in fact they were not. (the rub was, the inflexible requirement for 30 days notice).
Emergency surgery could not, and can not, be planned 30 days in advance. The law even gave the illustration of a pregnancy and the notice requirements have been relaxed by subsequent legal decisions.
The addition of, "when feasible" to the HPRM makes the difference.
