You know I would also wonder what the retirement average age was before the 65 change. I'm sure it wasn't 60. Some people will always leave early for what ever reasons. So who is to say it wasn't 58, in which case going to about 63 is still 5 years.

No doubt it stunted our careers though ( unless you wanted to stay till 65 I guess)

Default RCC

I may have to revisit my views on completing surveys (at least for the company). According to the latest missive from the BORG the RCC has successfully worked out improvements to many categories. I noticed my NYC pairings/rotations were much more commuter friendly for SEP and this apparently was in response to the surveys we completed earlier this year. Seems that folks in commuter heavy bases wanted more commuter friendly trips. You know late reports and early releases - who would've thunk it?

Anyone one gem caught my eye
This change is not intended to make every rotation a “commuter-friendly rotation.” Some pilots prefer early reports and late releases, and there will still be a wide variety of those trips. The goal of the RCC and Crew Planning is to offer a greater variety of rotation report and release times suitable for the circumstances of all pilots.
Who wants to go to work early and return home late?

I think Starbucks will hire you, but your chances at DAL I would think are pretty thin.

If you stand out in some of the aforementioned ways, the secretaries will love you, but you probably won't get hired.

Thanks for this tidbit, I was going to wear my orange and white checkerboard tie....

We are getting A340s.

Well, I don't know that. It's just the simulator says, A340.

Well, it also says A330.

So, we're buying American Airlines.

For the MD-80s.

I feel, hesitate veto it.



time it is!

I need to make a change to my address/contact info with DAL but I don't have access to DBMS or iCrew since I'm on MIL leave. Can I do this through CPSC or will I need to contact multiple departments.
Thanks for the help.

Reminds me of "The Lounge" circa 1998

Yes, T-4 Project: DAL will never set foot in T-4. You heard it here first (I suspect YOU'VE already heard it elsewhere). We will end up in T-8 and the current occupant will take over T-5 and our gates in T-4.
