Good thing that my moving on isn't dependent upon your discretion. I keep my nose relatively clean and my qualifications will speak for themselves when it's time for me to move on. Nice stab by the way... How old are you, 11? If your moderating ability is any indication of what it takes to work at DAL, then consider me severely underqualified.

Ahh yes, the pressure of completion factor. I remember when Delta canceled all mainline flights to ORD/MDW one winter day a few years ago. Sure enough, we were still forced to go, absolutely crazy.

Yeah with over 2000 pilots in the group...this will be very hard to pass...PNCL is about to go down in flames with my vote to help it! Management won't make a dime off of me. I hope you all have a backup plan (I've been working on mine for about 2 years now)...best of luck.

From what i understand at Mesaba it would be just diff training, real short but with pinnacle its full blown training to go from 200 to 900? Is it even possible to train all those pilots in that short of time parking over half the airline fleet?

All the 200's are not going to leave at once. A lot can happen between now and the time the last 200 leaves in 2015, 3 years. Look what all has happened at this company in 3 years. Nobody predicted this, and nobody can predict accurately what this company will look like in 3 years if this TA passes.

What strikes me is it took months to clear the "under brush" and only a few days to clear the big items. The TA will reveal who flinched first during this stand off.

Don't panic, in 3 years if 30 pilots leave a month that equals 1080 which is about how many we will need.

I'm with you. Let it burn. Been here 5 1/2 years.
