What? RE and TW knew we were getting 175s. Delta was shocked by the Republic deal, and instantly regretted the DIP. They tried to strongarm the republic judge and he told delta to pound sand. I guess you should get off that Facebook group and get headed to C tower.

The 50seaters brought down our customer service numbers and screwed up Delta's plans to get us all the gojet 700s for ny and looks like it's gonna continue. Oh well.

Because managing the autopilot is...pretty boring.
Speaking of boredom, you just reminded me of one guy, on the one leg of the trip where he left the AP off for a couple of minutes. A few minutes into the flight, he announced "this is boring" as he turned the it on. That comment left me completely baffled, because no matter how "boring" flying a low-key departure may be, how can not flying be less boring than that?

Completely agreed, that's the ultimate goal and source of satisfaction in flying isn't it? (Except for when lowering the flaps in the 200)

Bill would never be the bearer of bad news until it was ready for execution. Anything he ever says will always reflect positivity to the last moment. Right now 9E is still on a decent upswing. Good money to be made. Although, I would suspect that it would be a GREAT idea to focus on finding employment at any outfit that is not delta; while waiting for the interview chance. Many good airlines are hiring and getting, say, an airbus type cert is very valuable to other majors as well.

Republic was smart suckering Delta into DIP for their chpt13 because united and Murican came in as financial partners to republic judge and that meant republic could saw off the whole 50 seat delta market, which delta intended to stick them with post BK at a breakeven rate. Ever wonder why we started loading up on 50 seaters instead of getting 175s?
Happy bankrupt anniversary.

They sure did love doing things on April 1st. Even when it did mean they had to make it happen on a Sunday.

Anyone noticed the companies new shenanigans with loa 67 pertaining to reassigned flying?

It breaks down like this. If you get reassigned more flying on day one which credits higher than your original day BUT have a min day some where on day two thee four etc, you will not be paid the overage on day one. You will notice a nice red mark on your rainmaker where your extra pay is being removed. They are using the min days to not have to pay on the overage days.

I use that as a last resort. First make a note on rainmaker, or call the crew pay hotline. If that doesn’t work do a pilot issues form. Usually it’s just a coding issue, and a pilot issue form can take a while
