Call crew planning. Efficient and easy as I could ever hope for.

Anyone know what the "milestone" column means on the RMA list?

Probably has to do with getting credit for years of service or birthdays. Just spitballin'!

At least with the other system you knew if you even wanted to stick your hand in the bag.
That's interesting. Seems like it would open it up to sniping. I kind of prefer the anonymity.

Wow... Vacation induced or full regular? I didn't see that nwaf16 was ER. Sure hoping for some movement in my category on this one. Like I said, 9300 was the junior full line on the atl 320b.

Bedford needs CASH to survive. Delta can have Bedford dump the 50 seaters at Chitykitty. Bedford gets more 170's to replace them and he can sell his money loosing Frontier operation to Big D. Bedford stays in the game and Delta gets desirable aircraft......

There were certain events in the defined benefit plan that would trigger getting higher benefits. For instance reaching age 60 meant you have no reduction in your pension. "Milestone" meant that the pilot had one of these triggers to meet before the early out expiration (June 2013) and his retirement date was adjusted to meet that milestone.

If you think Delta needs to buy Frontier for extra airbuses, you are way off.
