Thank you! Glad someone else thought so.

Hockey-

Getting on with Delta is no small feat. The guys who are there now are well connected, lucky and/or both. You are one such guy.

I have the requisite experience and two internal recs. No email. Am I upset? Hell no. There are tens of thousands of guys just like me out there. Most of us will never have the opportunity to interview; the odds aren't in our favor.

I'll just keep updating and networking in hopes that something will work out.

Forgive us for being a little upset that a great opportunity to get our dream job is in jeopardy of being pulled out from under us.

I hope that the MECs and the MGMT teams will do the right thing and honor what they advertised when pilots accepted their jobs. You want to end it, thats okay too but tell the newly hired folks that there is not a flow-thru. Good luck getting anyone to accept those wages without it.

Its not right to allow these management teams to hire people on the premise of future career earnings, and then when it comes time to deliver simply run a play out of the shell game book.

My point was not to go after Hockey, but to point out that there are many opinions and perspectives here.

C44 has an e-mail out, they are looking for you're input. Let them know what your thoughts are regarding the flows and scope.

Whatever....The LEC/MEC does what they want and will tell us what's best for us.:mad:

(TIC, it is really a positive sign that the MEC and now LEC44 are actively soliciting input from their constituents.)

DO THE SURVEYS AND ENCOURAGE THE "APATHY PILOTS" TO DO SOMETHING TOO!

Shiz,
They are busy, and taking the input. Good on them.

The compass folks just got an email saying the compass president has been called to ATL next week to discuss the flow. Im trying to find out if this is the first of the 4 party talks or just a management meeting. Either way Im glad it seems everyone is interested in figuring this thing out sooner rather than later.

Will the owner/president of Trans States have any input also?
