Just got the profit sharing check today. I guess ALPA felt the need to dip into that as well. I guess my $20 a month plus dues is not enough for them. Stupid me for thinking that the profit sharing would be all mine.

Somewhere in the back of my mind I seem to remember that right after bankruptcy when we came out with this profit sharing plan, that ALPA negotiated part of our share away. Something to the affect of, if the employees earn 2%, ALPA members earn 1.25 % or something.
I can't remember correctly, and my warped mind just may have made it up. Who knows?

HR person at Delta told me today that a new Delta Non-rev program will be out mid 2009 to include the Northwest merger portion of the benefit.

It will probably also include the destruction of our "benefits" as well. Not for nothing, but Delta has one of the best non-rev policies out there (Free First class, only $50 a year, etc...) so I'm sure they decided to change that.

Northwest flight benefits, anyone know what they were before the merger? I am really wondering if Northwest bought Delta, I mean it seems to me Northwest and it's people are faring a hell of a lot better than Delta's people in terms of bases etc.

Forget about United. According to New Guy #whatever United is not going to happen. It never was going to happen and according to him, whoever told you it was, was LYING. Yes, hard to believe that management at this dump would lie to you but they did. I too wish it would happen but I'm sure not holding my breath.
OH MY GOD! THEY KILLED KENNY!! THOSE BASTARDS!!!! (had to put that in there) See- the more I see of this place and how they do people from Customer Service to Flight Crews the more I question my decision to come here, maybe its' just the harsh economic times the reason I say that (I want to believe that) when I see Leaders geting fired, regular folks getting fired- hell I rode the employee shuttle in the other day and a F/A told me about how they are now FIRING pilot and F/A's over the slightest infraction percieved or otherwise.
I think Comair would have fared better if the Muellers kept the place.

Sittin' around getting fat(ter) waiting for my new Middle East gig to start. It's 60 days overdue, but things are finally moving along and expect to start around the 15th.
The highlights for today: depositing my unemployment check and watching The Price Is Right.
What do you plan to do if you take the buyout/voluntary furlough?
