You didn't see any TIC in that? Although, those large Snickers bars are really good!

My interpretation could be wrong, and what I received as an answer from my reps could be wrong, but apparently the company asked for the meeting and we agreed.

Interesting. Just for pure curiosity's sake, I'd like to know. From what TO wrote below, it made me think it was us that was asking:


We believe opportunities exist, so today, your MEC directed the Negotiating Committee to meet with Delta management early next week to discuss opening the contract now with the goal of achieving a comprehensive agreement on an expedited basis.

I can see two or three smaller transactions in the next 3-36 months. All of them strengthen our network. DALPA and the DAL pilots being on board will be key in all of them.


If DAL loses NRT because of the opening of HND for Oneworld/Star Alliance, I would imagine a purchase of HA would permit rebuilding the current NRT hub network out of a HNL base...

Like Guam only much bigger...

Sorry to change the subject, but are Delta pilots allowed to jump seat on Delta flights while wearing jeans? I had three different Delta pilots jump seat during my trip this week and two of them were wearing blue jeans.

Technically no. It's supposed to be business casual.

BS. That C2K opener was released...period. The company's opener is ALWAYS obscene and ridiculous. This time, our union won't release it. Everyone needs to make their own decisions as to why that is.


ahem.... A brief search of Carl's post history turns up numerous instances of this. Every one of them emphatically stating as "fact" that the opener would not be released. Man, that was easy...

Minus the Japanese O&D passengers. It would be a much smaller network because it would have significantly less traffic in total, and way less business traffic.

No, our FOM states that "Business casual attire or uniform" for flight deck jumpseaters, so technically the FOM was being violated. Now one might argue that if they were in the back, that's not the flight deck and they could wear whatever. But I think it's pretty clear that trying to jumpseat in jeans is frowned upon.

However, I almost got trapped in a situation where I was thinking of jumpseating in jeans. I left for the airport with my wife and daughter to non-rev back home. 2 hours before the flight, there were 18 out of 70 seats open. Pretty good huh? Nope - after the revenue was boarded, 1 seat open. Overflow from another flight. Had there been another seat, I would of nicely asked the Captain if I could jumpseat, even as I was in jeans. It would be that or make a risky connection with a 2 year old. I know the rules but sometimes things happen. We ended up having to take another flight, not enough seats.

ps. I had dockers in my bag, but I checked it. Agent said, "oh yeah, you'll get on no problem..."

Not sure about that one. You may need to contact Codeweavers. I would suggest avoiding Crossover XI as it really screwed up my Easybid and Easyswap. Since I had already purchased version 10.2.0, I was able to go to the archived downloads to reinstall it (after uninstalling Crossover XI). That fixed my problem. But since you haven't purchased yet, you have a different problem. Good luck.
