The biggest problem with an early out for some of the DAL-N guys are the ones who have a hefty amount of so-called "excess funds" in their pension. You have to stay to 60 to get the lump sum option. Probably not a problem for the 60+ guys although the amount in the excess fund does decrease every month you work past 60.

The weirdest thing is that the number of ANC SOs on reserve grew for August. Why would that be if they are planning on dumping the base? To make the end date the same for everyone? I cant figure.
Personally, I would think they would want to hold us off till after SOC and train us once. I know for myself I will get dumped to the DC9 and then bid LA on the next APA. They should save themselves the hassle of 300 double trainings. Probably not actually 300 but a lot.

Upon reading the news reports that are out it appears the -200's are flying until Dec. 31st 2009. If this is the case some or all of the displaced pilots would train after that date putting them on the DAL-s AE system..... Bidding just got tougher for all.

Agreed. Smallest I've ever seen, and I almost missed it by scrolling the mouse wheel too fast.
Thought I was toast for sure, but no one in my category got bumped, but I WANT to get displaced (figures, huh?), because when seperate B/R goes away, I'll be on reserve fo'sure.

Impact of Single Operating Certificate (SOC)
In accordance with
Section 22 I. 7. of the Joint Collective Bargaining Agreement (JCBA), Delta North pilots will not be eligible for an AE, VD or MD to categories operating Delta South aircraft until after SOC. The converse is also true; Delta South pilots will not be eligible for an AE, VD or MD to categories operating Delta North aircraft until after SOC. As a result, awards or assignments to any vacancies or surpluses posted prior to SOC will be restricted to pilots within their respective pre-merger fleets. The current target for SOC is the end of 2009. In review, there will not be any APAs posted for Delta North pilots after August 2009 and any AE’s posted between August 2009 and SOC will be restricted to the respective pre-merger fleets.
The First Combined AE
Assuming that SOC is the end of 2009, both Delta North pilots and Delta South pilots will be able to bid in the Delta AE system for a combined AE beginning in January, 2010. Should SOC be delayed significantly beyond the end of 2009, separate AEs will be issued for the Delta North and Delta South pilot groups until SOC.
Note: Unlike the APA process, there is no set timeframe required for the posting of a vacancy or surplus notice in the Delta system. It is based solely on the staffing requirements of the airline. Generally, you can expect to see 3 to 4 postings a year.

With most everyone getting out of cargo, maybe FedEx is the place to be when things turn around. ACL, what's the wifey think of Memphis?
