Thanks in advance.
Hey newK,

I believe this is the case, but FYI my experience was that my schedule said NOE all the way through my TOE. IOW I wasn't released to the line and could not be assigned anything. I didn't show up on the reserve availability list until after my last TOE trip either.

Default ATL Nonrev Parking?

Anyone know where the nonrev lot is in ATL? I'm trying to do it the way they want and not take the landside bus tomorrow, but I can't find any info on Deltanet.

The only thing I've been able to dig up is using the GO East lot. Is that inside the gate at the GO. Anyone know where this is?

I'll be doing my usual "every minute counts" arrival in the morning and I don't want to screw around looking for the lot.

Thanks!

Wrong. He is a loyal PILOT volunteeer. Ken does not think he worked for ALPA, he always believed he worked for pilots.

No, he believes ALPA is a prospect for a better career, IF the warts could ever be removed from ALPA. He is not closed off to other possibilities however.

Whoever used the word "grooming" was indeed incorrect. Ken needs no grooming. The proper word would be that any alternate union would be "courting" Ken.

If Ken were attached, I think a lot of people would turn in those cards. Someone should whisper it to him.

Page 16 says 29 months with the RLA Mediation process IN ADDITION to the other negotiating time = 48 months. What are you talking about?

The dots, as folks like to say around here, seem to be alliging toward having an experienced and competent team ready to go if DALPA chokes on this TA.
***? Why would you hire a management stooge that raided the "bankruptcy proof" retention program. You think Bastian lost sleep? Erskine couldn't even stand in the same room with a pilot...He took almost as much as Reid from Delta...

http://dalrc.pvshosting.info/wsj0204.pdf

A special bankruptcy-proof pension program that Delta Air Lines established to retain its top executives during the airline industry's worst financial crisis hasn't kept some from leaving the company -- and taking their pensions with them.

Already, three of the 35 employees in the retention plan have left, taking along the initial chunk of their special pensions. And under the trust rules, nothing keeps the remaining executives in the plan from leaving the company, with full rights to their trusts, when they are fully funded early next year. In all, the trusts are expected to cost Delta, which is currently seeking concessions from its pilots, about $65 million by early next year.

While top executives -- including Chairman and Chief Executive Leo Mullin -- have received the bulk of the trust payments, company documents show that a number of less- senior employees also have received substantial payments under the plan, including the head of Delta's credit union and several company attorneys. Delta's employee pension obligations are underfunded by about $4.9 billion.

Bacon,

***, you creep in here and sling ****** on the wall! You are the Michael Moore of APC...... How many wives have you been through? Are you mental?

Ever notice you only fly with reserve guys?

I wonder how many no fly lists you are on?
