Mid month conversion? But I thought all of the scheduling-related LOAs DALPA touts as a "benefit" from "constructive engagement" were "improvements." :confused:

And the movie ain't too bad either - but definitely read the book first. KC-10, No CGI - all genuine B-25 footage. The movie was made around 1970 and I have heard it said that the demand for flying B-25s for filming this movie is partially responsible for a lot of the B-25s still flying today. :) Scoop |

UCAL had MIA when they bought the PAA routes in bankruptcy liquidation court. They already have PAA's route authorities out of MIA to most of SA and the Caribbean.

NWA had a real "disaster waiting to happen" dual qualification in the contract prior to the 98 lockout. It was one of the things they struck over. I was hired post strike so I didn't experience it, but I've heard some pretty ridiculous stories about it. Maybe Carl or Newk can elaborate.

Dunno if you guys have heard yet, but some interesting news coming out of the Compass Chief Pilot's Office the last few days....
1. Delta has confirmed 110 flowups in "early 1Q 2013," letters to be sent out later this summer. Obviously it's not final till my butt is sitting in class, but CPS is sure enough of it to be spooling up our own hiring in the fall. If the ratio from the last flow-up holds true, this implies at least 360 total newhires, and possibly more as 110 is the maximum that can flow in one year (1/4 of our total list). 2. We just signed an agreement with Delta to extend guaranteed interviews to all Compass pilots not covered by the flow (ie anyone hired after 8/2010). Applicants have to meet all DAL requirements and go through the entire Delta interview. |
That is pretty awesome news.
Truth is, this is shaping up to be a banner DAL year: Record profits, more aircraft, TA before amendable date, (unknown merger), etc. The eurozone is the current fly in the ointment for maybe other things. |
