I saw 3 or 4 in Narita last week, I think they are going to Bankok, DTW, and a couple other places, but not sure, check the DTW 747 bid package. The funniest part of my entire 6 day trip was spending about the first two hours of the leg home (NRT-ATL) listening to some UAL clown at 320, crying on 123.45 about "...all these Slow Movers up ahead, Holding US down!" He must have asked about 4 different airplanes, at 330, 340, 350, 360, if they could all climb...so HE could get to 340! It's all about him, obviously! :rolleyes: |

We spent $4M more on peanuts this year. So according to FAs you're going to get 1 bag now, not two... I mean to. Or too?
Anyways this is a text from my buddy on the 88: So this wasn't in my flight but a pax came on my flight wearing one of our pink ties signed by the crew. She said that the capt auctioned it off for breast cancer yesterday and she paid $405 for it. I was impressed... |

Actually, I wish it were only 16.5 years. I expect to spend 22 years at DAL, never crack the 50% mark and never sit in the left seat (I don't intend to be an M88A in NYC on reserve just to make CA). Never saw C2K pay (furloughed), haven't cracked even a 100K (on 11th year 73n F/O pay). This next contract better be good - I've paid my dues (literally and figuratively). I hope Tim's definition of significant improvements is somewhere near my definition (I did fill out my survey).
Don't get me wrong, I will not settle for anything less than significant improvements in this next contract, but I don't see the need for exaggeration either. |

I'm going to be close this year (will do it if I get 87 hours Nov and Dec), and will definitely hit it (if I can keep holding a line) next year. With no trip parking!! :eek: And, I'm a 4 year Mad Dog executive.

I'm using min pay here because I believe it is the best barometer and besides we're all supposed to live on min pay right? Living beyond it gets us in trouble so say the wiser ones who have been doing this longer. Besides, I'm in favor of a cap and increasing staffing so you can move up on the list or move to a higher paying aircraft if so desired.

Agreed, ftb. I actually budget for 70 hours at 100 dollars an hour, which after taxes and deductions works out to be about 4400 into the bank a month.
Everything else is gravy. |
