On another note I can confirm the bidding for SC in May is working. Bid for an 8:30 am start on the 1st and got it.

Glad it working for you. I'll have to remember to do that. Tomorrow is my 3rd SC in a row, on the ER no-less. <sigh> At least I live in base.

Side Question:

Where on the ALPA site do I go to get company pubs and docs like the FOM, etc?

I don't think that's on ALPA. It's all on deltanet.

One place, right place? :rolleyes:

And now for something completely different:

Titanic II Planned by Billionaire Palmer in Chinese Yard - Bloomberg

Strikes me as arrogant. And this whole "Chinese Navy" from the UK to Europe thing...

I hope it sinks.

Is that wrong?

Sink r8.

TA Rumor Alert!
 

Long time lurker/occasional poster, but I can't not share this one. Let me say right up front that this is 3rd hand so please don't shoot the messenger!

OK, here goes:

Jumpseater with us today claims to have ties to a CPO and was told by his buddy in the CPO that we should see a TA on 18 May. Supposedly the MEC will see it on the 15th, and to us on the 18th. Details include 20% increase to the rates with "COLA" type increases per year later. 717s are in the deal and supposedly via a lease from Boeing after turn in from SWA. SWA pays some penalties etc but we get "new" leases from Boeing. Company will offer 500 early outs, and hiring will begin quickly. 50 seaters reduced to around 125 total. Now for the bad news: Supposedly company wants 90 seaters with some type of production balance. Also they want increased Code share with Alaska. The reason he claims the company wants a deal done quickly has to do with the loan for the refinery.

Again, please don't shoot the messenger. There is no way I can confirm any of this...it is just the rumor I heard today with a lot of details and a firm date (supposedly). I guess we will know soon.

Ready for incoming...Philly

For some reason I thought they had some sort of set up on ALPA where you could get the manuals and also when you connected at a later date it would update the manuals if there was a revision. Maybe not.

I'll get them the old fashioned way...:eek:

Let me think about that for a second....HeII NO !!!!!!!!! Wait, on second thought, they can have all the 90 seaters they want as long at DAL pilots fly them at mainline.

Double post"............ooops

The above would be a NO vote from me.
