Very true. I wish mainline would take all those 76'ers too....

What could Pinnacle do with 16 900 if DAL took back the 200's????...not much...I don't think that there is a mainline company who would pick 9E up with the current economy.

Ever heard of 'whipsaw' brah?

12 Hours and counting until the DAL flight beni's take effect..


It was nice NWA while it lasted.

did you like the nice illegal letter that the company put out for sick calls tomorrow requiring a doctors note? Isn't there something in our contract requiring the company to pay to get a doctors note?

Well I was feeling okay. But reading that MEMO/CREWTRAC MSG just made me SICK TO MY STOMACH. Set up my DOC appointment for tomorrow AM.

yes. I suggest taking a cab from MEM to rochester or Phoenix Mayo Clinics (same quality of care our management gets) and expensing it.

Maybe he does have some choice, ASA just announced today that we're now able to add step parents to our travel benefits. How is ASA/Skywest able to add this while 9E gets it taken away?

Skywest received special pass benefits from DL when they purchased your company. Otherwise you'd be in the same boat. Do a little research.

I didn't realize they negotiated step parent travel back in 2005 when they purchased us, I guess I should do some research.

yes, they "expect" you to use your insurance (you pay the co-pay, not the company), but there is nothing that states you must use your insurance. I have always said find that doc on that tropical beach and expense the daylights to DW. That is the sure fire way to stop this crap.

odd's though.. no one will, everyone will do the "right thing" and the abuse will continue.
