As of 9:35: a lot of the A schedules are out for January '12. But, you have to use the Jan/jan "fix" to see them......

1.) Click on the awards for December or even November.

2.) Towards the end of the web address (??) you will find a part of it that flows like this...(...../CrewResources/BidPackages/Results/DEC/dec_reasons_reports)

3.) Change the DEC/dec to JAN/jan and the template for the January results comes up.

It was up for most A categories last night, but some of the x's didn't work. This morning, most do.

Does anyone know where the ATL 320A bid results are?

After just shy of 25 yrs I'm really hoping I'm not on reserve again! Yikes

I've always wondered if there was political pressure brought to bear on the FAA because of the effect on SWA....naaah, couldn't happen.
I had the NTSB inspector that investigated the Pittsburgh crash on the jumpseat once.... He was not pleased with the politics involved, I will leave it at that.

This is the biggest problem that Delta has going forward... 10 categories/fleets with many more sub fleets inside the fleets. It will make our cost high, even with low wages compared to UAL, AA, & SWA.
And THAT is the problem we have.. and will always have when it comes to being compared to SWA. Our management has chosen to buy the airplanes they have because Delta is a different animal than SWA. It is, and that is an indisputable fact. The problem is that we continue to be compared to them by the media.. the public.. the politicians. So how do we combat that? Disguise our pay just like SWA does. I will bet you there isn't a single person outside of SWA that could make an apples to apples comparison of payrates between a SWA pilot and a UPS truck driver. But they sure can between a Delta pilot and a UPS driver.... Airplanes are airplanes boys... Pay me for flying any of them.
