Pretty sure profit sharing is pretty low on the priority list for new hires.
But we do know the effect it would have on existing pilots. A sizeable portion of them would fervently follow cost savings measures in order to boost profits. I jump seat a LOT on Delta and the vast majority of them (in my experience) try and limit APU use, single engine taxi as much as possible, etc. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk |

Of course it is. No one has it. We don't know what effect it would have on new hires. It certainly wouldn't drive them away

I think he was an NWA hold back due to medical leave. I have the old flow list, it looks like he tried to flow, as he was listed YES, and had a class date set.

Typical of Delta... they didn't honor any NWA that weren't already in class, all CJO's had to be (re) selected by the ATL T.U.R.D.S.

I've been informally pulling the fos I fly with about that, and my take away is that less than 1/4 of captains actually push single-engine no Apu taxi. That's obviously anecdotal. But I can say with certainty that 100% of the first officers I've flown with in the past three months have expressed surprise when I told them no Apu taxi. not to mention I know captains who will straight up tell you that they refuse to do anything that makes their lives any more complex if it doesn't directly benefit them.

How unfortunate. I know NWA didn't have a four year degree requirement.

yea , I got stiffed by Mother D . I have a couple Associate Degrees , but not a “Bachelors” Degree. I was a 94’ Hire at Mesaba and of course have a million hours and half a million PIC . 😂😂. I was by passed in the NWA flow in 07’ because I had lost my medical for 5 months ( It was very disappointing and horrible timing) . NWA said, no worries as we will get u in class when you get your medical back and NWA did not require a 4 year degree . Most airlines back in the day did not require a 4 year . I interviewed at majors in the late 90’s that did not require a 4 year , but unfortunately I did not get hired.. But after I got my medical back , Delta had taken over and some time had passed and they agreed to take the top 100 Mesaba pilots still on the Flow list . When they started classes, Delta called me and told me I could not flow cause I did not have a 4 year . It was a cowardly move and extremely disappointing on their part . The union tried to argue on my behalf , but to no avail. I mean, I have lost 6,000 seniority numbers and tons of money .. they should instate me with seniority and back pay, 😂LOL. But I mean , really , how many pilots at NWA had a 2 year degree or no degree, that after the merger were now flying for Delta . I mean should they fire or let go of all those pilots cause they don’t have a 4 year? They could and should have let me flow . I was at the top of the flow list after the merger and was going to be the first to flow into Delta . But all the Compass and Mesaba pilots that flowed to NWA prior to the merger that did not have a 4 year should have been removed from Delta then ..I mean the whole thing is stupid as stupid does as Forrest Gump would say 😂.
