technical question - is there any way to be notified when new trips come up on the open board? I don't have a fancy phone with apps... I check the old fashioned way on the computer. Thanks.

US Air has to move out of #4 and might make an offer to the creditors. This is a no lose offer for D. Parker. If he gets something, good for him, if he runs up the cost of American's bankruptcy claims (as he did to Delta) even better for him (and Delta and United and the American pilots). But, I expect the stakeholders to keep American's route network together.

Oh I am sure they have been planning for this event to transpire. I am sure they also have planned for a few events that may transpire after the filing as well.

That said, if you use Flightline Data Services/SABRE, if you sign up for at least their $5/month program, they have access to the Delta computer and scan open time every 5 minutes. You can sign up for "Alert Manager" and have new trips that pop up into open time either emailed or texted to you. You can even specify what kinds of trips within a limited menu: trip length, departure date, etc.
Yes, we should have this offered for free by the company, but at $5 a month I have found it worth it. If even one fairly short-notice nice trip pops up (especially some charter or HMV ferry) then I have found it worth it.

Hmmmmm
UPS has started re-calling pilots........
Just asking now.......
But should a buddy of mine that knows this guy who has a cousin that has 4 plus years at DAL go to UPS if called from the pool at 33k first year, bad labor relations and a real penchant for outsourcing just to make 149k second year? Add to that an ANC commute and starting over again. I know this guys wife pretty well and she is a damn good divorce attorney in real life and has already had it with the airlines, and from what I hear wants to work less and is not too found of making another life change that will chase pie in the sky to see it change yet again and delay her chance to stay at home with the kids......
Just wonderin.....

The job of AMR's competitors will be to make this as expensive as possible for American.
The unfortunate result will be the reduction of capital for ALL airlines as the bondholders get burned by loaning money to American. The banks who talked investors into buying American Airline's debt have nearly no credibility to market this stuff in the future.
I can already hear Richard Anderson saying "we are not American."

that if he's married to a damn good divorce attorney he should do exactly what she says, because if he doesn't make momma happy it ain't gonna matter how much he's making. He won't see any of it! Then again, if you've been here 4 years you should definitely go. You're senior to me. A happy momma makes a happy home. Just sayin.

Delta is willing to allow pilots to leave with seniority via long term leave. I'd think one option is work somewhere else for a year then further evaluate options.
IMHO, reading the tea leaves, a bankruptcy filing by Delta would not surprise me over the medium term. I'd need to see more about the terms of our debt ... just saying that I would not be surprised.
