Too bad we don't have Neal Schwartz working for us here at Delta.

How is this anymore costly then furloughing junior pilots at any airline and having to retrain the remaining pilots to fill those vacated slots. Delta has 9 different airplanes and if they furlough there will be alot of training going on other then just at compass.

No Flowthrough - Only have to be re-trained at Delta.

Flowthrough - Trained and typed at Compass when they flow back, then go through complete training (BI and all) going back to Delta. You are throwing an entire extra training cycle in there in addition to retraining additional pilots, and at 50K+ per, that's talking about real money.

Let's hope that due to this high cost of furloughing, DAL will think long and hard before furloughing pilots. If I am not mistaken, several people have written that it would not make any financial sense to furlough pilots unless DAL furloughs more than 400 pilots for at least 2 or more years. If that's the case, I do not think furlough is a likely scenario at DAL. I guess we'll have a clearer picture by next March 2009.

e. once the number of permitted 76-seat jets is established, it will not be reduced. Exception one: If a pilot on the seniority list with an employment date prior to September 1, 2001 is placed on furlough, the Company will convert all 76-seat jets for operation as 70-seat jets.
Exception two: In the event the flow provisions of NWA LOA 2006-10 and LOA 2006-14 cease to be available, either at the feeder carrier affiliate referenced in such LOAs or at another carrier, the number of jet aircraft configured with 71-76 passenger seats specified in Section 1 B. 40. d. will revert to 85.
I read somewhere that the flow goes with the sale of either company, i am still trying to find LOA2006-10 and 14. I cant find it now that they have changed the website around. Anyone else have it?
