Go into delta net, and on the "Employee Info" dropdown menu towards the top select Self-Service. Then on that page there are icons on the left, select "employee self-service" then on that page scroll down to the blue links in the middle of the page and click on "get my tax form"

In fairness though, I have to say we were fed on 3 of 4 legs on my last trip and the FA's did a nice job of checking in with us. Must've been a lot of food to get all the way down to #9 on your list
How were the Tiajuana Squirts after the trip?

I don't know why I was thinking about this today, but how many of you who actually completed the contract survey, told ALPA that you would like to see a change to the way that extra flying is assigned? What I am wondering is, is there any interest in moving away from the green slip process to a system like Jetblue where you get paid straight pay up to 75 hrs (not sure if that is what they do now) and then anything you pick up above 75 is paid at time and a half.

Just wondering...

If the number dropped by 2010, it is interesting. Elvis, had you applied at Delta, NWA, or both?
Bar, in the summer of 2010 DAL & NWA were one, so it was the new DAL hiring. My DOH is Sep 2010. I remember BB telling us in indoc that there were 5,500 qualified applicants, but there were probably at least 12,000 who applied.

Flew with a lead LCA a couple of days ago and he reiterated that the company will have to hire soon, with the number of guys who could suddenly retire between 60-65, and the new rest rules that will take effect. Commuted home yesterday with a captain who lives in Ft Worth who plans on retiring at age 60, which is pretty soon for him.

I think the company would like a new contract hammered out for planning purposes before going bonkers with hiring. Plus this situation with American should prove interesting.

That article is from 2010... I think the idea was summarily dismissed by any of the regulating authorities as profoundly stupid.. (my words).. but I think O'Leary was given a resounding no to the idea. That guy is a total smeg head.
