It's official:
Super jumbo jet coming to Atlanta *| ajc.com Super jumbo jet coming to Atlanta Korean Air plans to begin flying the A380 super jumbo jet between Atlanta and Seoul, the Atlanta airport's top executive said. Louis Miller, general manager of Hartsfield-Jackson International, said the A380 service could start as soon as January 2013. It "will enhance Atlanta's reputation as a world-class city and gateway to the United States," Miller said. The Atlanta airport is working on some $30 million in improvements to prepare for the A380, including modifications to two gates on Concourse E and widening of taxiways and a runway. Korean Air's A380s have 407 seats, and it plans for in-flight cocktail lounges and duty-free shops inside the planes. The A380 debuted in 2007 and already flies to some other U.S. airports. According to Airbus, any airport that can handle a Boeing 747 can handle the plane, but airports are adjusting gate areas and widening runway and taxiway shoulders because the A380's engines sit so far out on the wings that they may kick up debris from the grass. Such debris can be sucked into aircraft engines or cause other damage. Hartsfield-Jackson is paying for the improvements with passenger facility charges -- the $4.50 each passenger pays on top of the fare to fly from Atlanta. |

What I disagree with is in bold. You were directly effected by the wages you are earning now. You are directly effected because your career earnings will be half of what they could have been. You are directly effected because you do not have a pension.
I suspect you like many of us got in to this career for a few reasons. One was that you loved flying, but the other one was that you could make decent money doing what you loved. I further suspect you opted for aviation because of the pay and benefits versus another career. I know I did. But I'm also hearing a tone of resignation. Don't give up. This career can still be restored. It won't be easy... but nothing worthwhile ever is. We need to set restoration as our objective and then set out to achieve it with an unwavering commitment and resolve. Are you starting to figure out that the current predominant thinking in DALPA is not going down that road? |

Halter probably got a better offer somewhere else. CFO's come and go all the time. The new guy is a home grown type. Hired when he was 25 as an analyst at DL, in 1997. That makes him 40 now, about the same seniority as a DL 767 FO.

Your posts looks to me like it was pretty competitive when you were hired. Cream of the crop even. You were hired under the current contract and in the last 1.5 years, you have gotten a 4% raise with profit sharing. Apparently our current contract was enough to get you and all of the other highly qualified applicants to join the ranks as Delta pilots. I am just wondering what has changed in the last year and a half that requires a major change in pilot compensation to get qualified candidates?

Maybe we could have our moderators...ACL and gang lobby APC to have these KLM/AF payscales added to the International profiles section of this website??? Maybe it would be easier for DALPA to see it? UCAL and APA too!
As of now only Emirates and Cathy are on there. |
