I'm a little confused about something some people were stating about a new 737-900 base. I thought the 737-900 was on the same type as 737-700/800 so those of us 73n qualified will just get some differences training like we did when the -700 came aboard. So, we don't need a new 737-900 base, it will be a 73n base like all the other 73n bases (not to say DTW couldn't be a new 73n base when CVG closes down). Anyone see the 737-900 differently?

Thanks

I think that's just in reference to a new 737 base, like DTW most likely. You're right though, a 737 is a 737 when it comes to bases.

Heading to the barn for an overnight. I’m begging you; please don't let me wake up to see more half naked Dude pictures. I haven't mentally recovered from this morning. A buff half naked guy wearing my Navy hat is undoubtedly going to give me nightmares. For the sake of humanity, can anyone change the buff half naked guy wearing my hat to a long legged busty female with no morals? You’re going to wack this post aren’t you ACL? Man, politics are out. Sex is out. TA is a done deal. I guess we are reduced to sports and deciphering our latest fate.

I have saved the NNP showing the hiring wave and we'll see how it goes. I'm going to move on and accept what we have.

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.

I cannot change what we have and I've worked real hard to have the wisdom to move on.

I would also save the current seniority and category lists, to get the real picture of where you were/are. Since the merger, we have retired 4.8% of the pilots, but I have only moved up 2.5. Not a good ratio!

You must not know the mind set of mangement. They will always win in the end. This TA will not reduce anything on the RJ. In fact it will increase the amount of larger jets and increase the QOL for us. so thank you for playing.....

Because The Manager said that my huge ego wouldn't allow me to stay away until the vote was in.. He mad a bet, and now I expect him to pay up. After that I am leaving this place for good. I didn't miss it while I was away, and there is too much immaturity here now to make it worthwhile to stay. Sorry if I offended anyone, but facts is facts. This is a good deal, and it is gonna put a lot of money in the pockets of DAL pilots.

Comair's starting to resemble the movie "Titanic" when the ocean is finally coming over the deck and everyone finally understands what's about to happen. I'm sure when we get September's schedule the lights will flicker and then go out, the stern will start to rise out of the water, and the real screaming will start. Not to mention all the F/A's cats in the water. So mainline hiring would be nice.
