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

I just had a jumpseater who was coming back from his ASA interview. He said that they told him something along the lines of "this is also your Delta interview". He also said that he not only did the ASA interview but they sent him to Delta to do the same cognitive/psych tests that he did at ASA.

I'm curious what is going on and how this ties into the ASA flow up business I've been hearing about.

Anybody know anything more?

And what happened to that 1500hr. minimum + an ATP new rule??

So lets say Johnny WetInk signs on at SKW/ASA/XJet and gets seniority #7899.

And that means he only has to wait how many decades to get his flow-up slot?

Well things seem to going well I'd say!

:rolleyes:

United pilots say poor training is safety issue - Yahoo! Finance

In one memo during our quest for SOC, I thought the south guys were the only ones who could put the gear down and the north guys were to bring the gear up???
I guess only real problem then would have been when two north guys were flying together!:D

Needless to say a cheap shot by UAL mgmt! And yes I do still feel for north guys that had to re-learn all that Destroy Every Living Tree Alive stuff! Thank the Laud Hisself!! We be synergaitin!

Let's just hope we are done with mergers for a while! Don't wish that angst on anyone!

Those suckers are going to be really PO'd when they find out they signed a deal to get a job at ASA and Delta Airlines.

Even ALPA could find that loophole.

I'd rather merge with Alaska than outsource mass quantities of large narrowbody flying to them whole they grow twice as fast as we shrink and they get twice as many pax from the deal then we get from them. I'll be happy to learn new stupid calls and secret hiding places in the manuals to stop our biggest narrowbody whipsaw threat.

Atl m88b

I am curious how hard it is to jockey the sked of an ATL M88B (top 35-40%) and get 80-85 hrs. GS on weekends...ever? I know they were heavily staffed for a long time...thx

A quick look at our seniority list PDF file on Deltanet, and they spelled it "Delta Airlines." As we used to say at my previous regional airline, "simply the best!"

From someone who recently left a Fortune 500 corporate gig to come back to Delta, I can tell you the grass is NOT always greener on the other side.

I agree completely. I left a high-paying white collar gig to come back. Less money but lots happier (and so is the wife). Its not what it used to be, but its better than most. Hopefully, its about to get significantly better.

For any of you considering bidding NYC on the AE, I have an idea for an inexpensive crash pad option:
