So, I write a long-winded letter to Crew Resources asking to stay in category my last few months, and offer to take the MD lower payrate. You guessed it, no way.....theyd rather lose the 73N money already spent on me, and never recoup the 320 bucks they're going to spend.......I am a unionist, and I support our PWA, but really ?...really ?:confused: Regards, BG I got your message. Thanks for the quick reply. We were at the Memphis Grizzlies game. I'll give you a call tomorrow. Thanks again |

You also create a issue that you might be senior to other pilots in the category. Your could be taking flying that belongs to them. Someone might very well file a grievance and the company is sure to loose. Neither the company or ALPA want to go down this route. The company does have some contractual options to bypass pilots moving up with limited time left. I don't however believe any of those options apply to moving down. There were only 6 mandatory displacements off the 73N in the last bid. There were not a huge number of pilots involved. My hope remains that all DAL pilots will reclaim their position of respect and help restore our once proud profession . Best wishes on C2012, BG |
Kind of wonder if they are giving a gentle nudge towards retirement ... not that it is personal, when the junior guys were asking about leaves to avoid displacement the CPO stated an 12 to 18 month request would likely be accepted.
Furloughing has its own costs, but there is little doubt we are overstaffed right now. |
I'd wait for better conditions, but truthfully when you live here, you become a "snow snob."
Wasatch: Came up and skied Alta. Not too bad in the morning, but clouded up and got windy after lunch. Rented skis/poles at Canyon Skis south of the Radisson. The 'Techs' said it was a good thing I got the damage coverage. :D Lots of 'sticks and stones,' but it beat sitting in the hotel! Hope y'all get LOTS of snow soon! DFW |

What happened to individual responsibility? The "banks" didn't force jackasses to sign, did they?

Turn in your leased BMW and get a Kia. You signed, you pay. And the highly educated, trained and compensated 'experts' who are supposed to investigate and verify loan applications then approve said loans to people who, by long-held banking and loan practices can not reasonably be expected to re-pay those loans. If you give people money, under the above conditions...which did occur, it's called............... A GIFT. The banks, Fannie and Freddie Mae, etc... screwed up and should have paid the price, with NO bailout, IMMHO. (If you haven't already watched 'Too Big to Fail,' do watch. You'll get more than mad. :mad: ) |

Hey, it's a Flight Attendant Rumor, which means it's true! :D All 777 flying will be moved to LAX and MCO. It's just that nobody in Marketing has dictated the closure to the Mushrooms in the Flight Ops. Dept... yet. The bid will be out in 4-6 weeks. Oh, and the 5 year plan changes every 3 weeks. SSDD :eek: |
