MD,

Congratulations. That's a huge achievement, and something to be damn proud of.

Definitely a tough career decision, but nice to have the options you do.

Whatever you decide, I wish you the best.

What's really going on? I mean I was really planning on getting bumped out of DTW as a -9 CA and possibly having to go to MSP or NYC. Now with this latest APA, they recalled over 25 DC-9 captains. Not that I am complaining, but the previous flying "memos" that they put out said "no movement on the DC-9" & "Hey, we are fat on DC-9 captains."

So rather that waiting for the next few days for their explanation, maybe someone who is really in the know can tell us what to expect. :rolleyes:

They also have to staff for the new trip rigs that they (should be, but) aren't using...

Agreed, it is am impressive task accomplished. Truth be told, he is probably too smart and hardworking to be a pilot. It just seems humility is not part of the formula. I guess no one has ever accused pilots of being humble. Either way, I'll admit I'm jealous, I'd love to have a successful practice to fall back on. A doctor and pilot has to be the perfect panty dropper if I've heard of one.

Something like "hi, I'm Captain Von Longrodhugendong, ... MD. Allll right!":D

Hey Nosmo, this is pulled off another thread:

I talked with one of the transition group reps about the Duty Rigs. He was in the room when Section 12 was negotiated, as was your CA chairman that put this piece out. The guy that was in the room told me that everybody, including Ken Watts, acknowledged the intent of placing certain changes into bid period 5, including the duty rigs. It was his view that the rigs argument put forward by Watts was a grab for more than was negotiated by ALPA. The former NWA negotiating team and DAL's team met with management on the rigs issue just a couple of weeks back. Surprise, surprise, the record did not reflect your CA chair's point of view.

Your jabs accomplish nothing, except to drive a wedge between the former NWA pilot group and the pre-merger DAL pilot group; and nothing good can come of that.

Food for thought.

PG

Or just call me "Smiling Bob!"

Does anyone know if our (DAL and NWA) dispatchers and schedulers have been integrated? I have had some strange dealings with them in the past few weeks. (ie. getting non-revs and jumpseaters on) :rolleyes:
