No, no, I said if YOU'RE interested, not that I'm interested. I just heard some male FAs talking about it, and thought that there were some yankees who might like that kind of stuff.

Me?, I'm more into this kind of thing...:cool:

Hey NWA guys.

Today is the first day that you can sign up for the DPMA thing. Go to the website the union sent us. It takes like 2 minuets and is easy. From what I understand, it is HIGHLY recommended.

I've never had to use DPMA (and hopefully never will) but from flying with guys who have, I have never heard one who did not speak of DPMA in anything but very glowing terms.

LMAO!:D I wonder if it's the same Redneck fishing as in my parts. Our reel is a Remington.;)

Or a stick of dynomite!

DPAMA is not about helping yourself. It is about taking a very small part of your check and helping your fellow pilots. It is a great resource to have. At some point everyone will have a medical issue. This is a great filler so that the family does not suffer.

The heck it isn`t! Of course it`s about helping yourself. That`s what an insurance policy is all about. You hope that you don`t need it, but be glad that it`s there for you. This isn`t an ALPA thing, it`s a Delta pilot thing, run by Delta pilots for Delta pilots. And oh yeah...unfortunately for me, I had to use it and was glad that I paid in all those funds for my entire career...

Do "new" DAL guys have a separate DPMA fund of their own that does not draw on the established fund?

No it is all one fund.
There is a fear that all of the LTD NWA guys will deplete the fund. I guess we will find out.

That is what I was afraid of.
