Do you still have access to ALPAs website?..I think you can just go on there using your number and old password (if it still works, which it may) and then change your email address to something fake..like [email protected]
or a certain [email protected]
or a certain [email protected]
Thanks for the idea but I don't recall ever setting up a number or having a password for ALPA's site. I must have gave them the info on the meet and greet night with the union. Oh well, guess I will set these up as spam.
Hope things start to turn around for the better for you all.

Delta blames weather, JFK for poor on-time showing
Posted: September 4th, 2008 10:39 AM GMT-05:00
Delta Air Lines and its regional carrier Comair ranked low in on-time arrival performance in July, according to federal data released Wednesday.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics, Atlanta-based Delta ranked No. 15 for on-time arrival performance among 19 carriers ranked. About 69.6 percent of Delta's flights arrived on time in July.
Thunderstorms delayed many Delta flights, and airspace congestion at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport "continues to hinder our operations," said Delta spokesman Kent Landers.
Umm... you're not the only airline that got hindered by weather in JFK. It's your crappy a$$ operation and your big parking lot around Terminal 3.
AirTran Airways, which has its largest hub in Atlanta, ranked No. 12 with 71.1 percent.
Delta-owned regional carrier Comair, based in Erlanger, Ky., ranked last for on-time arrival performance with only 63.3 percent of flights arriving on time in July.
"Weather, ground delay programs --- all of that had a significant impact on us," said Comair spokesman Jeff Pugh. "We have a significant operational presence in the Northeast and we continue to experience with some of the regional issues in the Northeast."
Again, blame it on the weather. I know it was an unusual season for T-Storms in the northeast, but everyone is dealing with weather and ground delay programs in JFK. They don't mention the lazy rampers, lack of equipment, and of course the genius horseshoe parking lot, and Pad 11.
Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport ranked No. 24 for on-time arrival performance in July with 69.6 percent of flights arriving on time.
The airlines reported that 7.78 percent of their flights were delayed by aviation system delay in July, 7.17 percent by late-arriving aircraft, 6.3 percent by maintenance or crew problems or other factors within the airline's control, 1 percent by extreme weather and 0.05 percent for security reasons.

Research firm FlightStats pegs JetBlue as most-delayed major carrier in August. Regional carrier Freedom Airlines had worst overall on-time rate.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- A study from research group FlightStats found that JetBlue Airways was one of the most-delayed airlines in August, while Northwest Airlines had one of the best track records for being on time.
JetBlue (JBLU) flights arrived on-time 64.7% of the time in August, FlightStats said on Wednesday. This was the worst percentage among the leading airlines.
Only one carrier had a worse record: Freedom Airlines, a subsidiary of Mesa Air Group (MESA), with an on-time arrival rate of 58.1%
Northwest Airlines (NWA, Fortune 500) was the top-performer among the leading carriers, with an on-time arrival record of 85.3% in August, FlightStats said. Four regional carriers had a better rate, with Hawaiian Airlines taking the lead with an on-time arrival record of 91%.
The industry average for being on-time was 77.3%, according to FlightStats.
Among airports in North America, FlightStats found that Salt Lake City International was the most efficient, with an on-time arrival rate of 87.3% in August. Detroit Metro was second-best, with a success rate of 86.4%
Three of the bottom four airports in terms of on-time arrivals were in the New York City area, according to the research group.
John F. Kennedy International came in dead last, with an on-time arrival rate of 55.2%. Newark Liberty International, with an on-time rate of 64.2%, and LaGuardia Airport, at 64.5%, were the third and fourth worst airports for timely arrivals. Miami International was the second worst, with 64% of flights arriving on time in August.
The on-time average for North American airports was 76.5%.
The Department of Transportation released similar findings on Wednesday for the month of July, pointing to the New York-area airports and JetBlue as having some of the worst rates for on-time flights.
New York City is a major hub for JetBlue, which is preparing to open a new terminal at JFK. When asked about the DOT report, JetBlue spokesman said the reliance on New York was part of the airline's problem in terms of delays, but said that JetBlue has made improvements.
Pasquale DiFulco, spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, said his agency had made numerous requests to the Federal Aviation Authority and the DOT to alleviate the severely congested New York-area airports by adding capacity.

I want a soap on a rope sticker. Why don't we all just stand together and call for him to step down as VP. Though he doesn't really have much power because of that rope that he is linked to, with the power that he does have he keeps chipping away at this company.
Has anyone read "Airline without a Pilot?" Someone should write a book about what a successful company this use to be and what Delta has done to it. Put that on the local shelves at Barnes and Noble in Florence, or Borders in Crestview.

I'll heed the advice given a few post down, you can find the Executive profiles on Comairs' website.
I think if you post a photo then say something slanderous/libelous, it can opena whole can of worms. A guy at Eagle is currently going through litigation for doing something in which he posted false information about an individual at the company.
It has gotten really nasty.

I would be very cautious about posting photos and names on this website. I would advise you to edit your post ASAP. You are setting yourself up for potential problems.
