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

Actually that is not it. That is not even part of the equation. It is their CURRENT salaries and benefits that are killing the company. Yeah.. greedy pilots working on a 20-something percent pre-bankruptcy paycut and having the NERVE to ask for raises. Can you imagine how AMR would have tanked had they signed any payraise contract? Of course, Leo had the foresight to sign that big fat contract KNOWING that DAL was headed to BK and he would get it all back.. Arpey was just incompetent in that regard.. sheesh, what's management coming to these days?

Bigfoot was sighted in the E concourse, the Men in Black were seen exiting the B bus, and various other wild rumors to add to the craziness of this thread.

She didn't get the job btw, I guess she wasnt morbidly obese nor a smoker. :eek: I'm glad, she's a stay at home mom.

There are more than that leaving under the early out. They will not be short, but 1,000 overstaffed is just crazy talk. And no, no one is talking furlough.

That's a much nicer post. No offense acl65. :D

Sorry to get your hopes up. I'm really try not to spread rumors unless I have a good source. He cites none, and it doesn't pass the smell test to begin with.

T-Square, I'm not going to tell you my source. I was just passing along what I was told. I know the person, his position and I consider it credible. If it offends you, don't give it any credit.

You go to LCP meetings, I'm not impressed.
