Check your spam folder. They sent out two Pilot News Briefs yesterday. The PED policy was the second and the first was charted RNAV visuals in to ATL.

Didn't get either as well. Nothing in my spam folder. Probably that crack Delta technology, sending emails one at a time.

You see, it is this kind of attitude that should make everyone wary of bidding anything in New York.

Does the NC have a copy of C2K? Why are they not using that as a template instead of our current bankruptcy induced contract? Why not try to cherry pick the best of both and negotiate from there as opposed to trying to just improve our current contract?

Because they have absolutely no idea what they are doing... they want to torpedo your career... etc etc etc... :rolleyes:

Going forward, not sure we will see 20% reserve staffing in any month. Even in a now growth scheme we are going to be short for 20 years.

SO reserves can pretty much be guaranteed sitting 7 SCs each month...

anyone see the latest Delta Pappa Alpha video regarding the upcoming dues increases proposals. Pretty pathetic if it's indeed true. They want to assess dues on 401K contributions among other things.

Don't want to stir the pot any more than it needs to, but I just saw the new Delta ad on I-85 South. It has a picture of an EMB-175 and says size shouldn't outrank service, UGH.

I have seen those somewhere too... I am not sure of the point of the advert.... IT definitely doesn't help the company's case when it comes to negotiating with us I would think.. not that advertising takes that into consideration, but I would hope DALPA is asking dubya tee eff...

At some airlines pilots sit 20 short calls a month and scream yes sir may I have another. Where's the military decorum in only sitting 7? Get back to work.

Kiddingggggg. The 7 short calls is already a no vote for me. When did the company ask me for a concession? Oh right. They didn't. I was just feeling kind.

They routinely run 90%+ A-14. We must have zero operational flexibility. And that must be why they've used me on 1 out of more than 10 short calls. They must be soooooo desperate for that 6th. So desperate than when you divide the number of available reserve days by the total number of forecasted short calls in some bases you get 3. Then when you look at the reserve list at the end of the month everyone has 6.

Short call is already abused and mismanaged and the new LOA29 rules are a joke. Remind me. Please. Why are we accepting more of it? Oh right. 60% of this airline holds a line and doesn't care.
