This board has turned into bullying, so much so that anyone that disagrees can't even state his opinion. Good for you guys. Keep making up numbers and yelling into your echo chamber, I'm sure it makes you feel better. You know everything, and all the other highly educated, professional pilots don't know anything. You have all the answers and would do it better.

Junglebus. I hope you find a job at another airline, I want to work with people who want to be happy here.
What the H? This post doesn't even make sense... this is EXACTLY what I was thinking but apparently reversed, this board is bullying a dude who merely stated what 38% of Delta pilots voted-- DELTA pilots!-- and yet here you are telling him to go get hired somewhere else because he has an opinion? I'm getting so sick of folks saying "if you don't like it, leave", "If you don't like it go somewhere else, Delta doesn't need you..." ... YOU ARE THE PROBLEM. This attitude of "no dissenting opinion" and no striving for improvement in our work conditions or expressing hopes for better or dissatisfaction with status quo, is just heinous to me.

I'm sorry, it's NOT your airline, you're a blue collar worker just like I am here... and if YOU don't like other people expressing opinions that aren't all 100% inline with anti-union rhetoric, then I think YOU should leave. We don't need your type in the airline or profession. (see how incredibly silly that sounds and how insulting it is?) You have no more right to decide what is "Delta" and acceptable thought than JungleBus does. Holy crap, "if you don't like it get hired somewhere else or leave"... what are you, in Kindergarten?

Yeah an "entitlement" that ALPA negotiated. It is a dang shame when someone ask you to bargain in good faith and to the actually keep your promises. ALPA not happy with that 76 seat experiment...wonder what they will say about this one 3 years from now.

I think it's extremely happy with the "76 seat" experiment. They have always pushed for more and more of them, and the pilots complied. Why aren't they happy?

Hey, we're talking 4, 8, 3, 3 for 70 more jumbo RJs and work rule concessions. It was a GREAT deal! It's even better that they won't be following through with the hiring this fall or winter promise.

Definitely not an APCer.

btw, from 3 hours ago:

McKayla Maroney's parents hire security guards
8:03 PM, August 22, 2012

McKayla is not impressed. And neither are here parents, apparently.

McKayla Maroney went from an unknown 16-year old to an Olympic gold medalist practically overnight, and her parents are making sure their daughter is protected now that she's an Internet sensation and appearing on popular talk shows.

"We have hired specialist security guards to make sure McKayla is never on her own," Maroney's mom, Erin, told the Daily Mail. "We don't want another Shawn Johnson situation to happen."

Anybody think this is going to get interesting?
Qantas cancels jet orders as it posts first loss

Looks like Qantas is getting some money back from Boeing for the delivery delays. I'm thinking Boeing has probably started building these already then.

Wondering if BA will have a problem plugging these into the delivery pipeline somewhere. I'm guessing they are so behind on orders that it won't be an issue, but it could provide a nice discount for any carrier willing to pick up these orders on a short timeline.

Anyone think we might make a play for them? I don't see it happening, just curious.

+1

First, I have lots of respect for Buzz and others, but I'll also be among the first to buy Jungle a cold one when he comes on board. I've always enjoyed his posts.

This forum would suck if we were all "ordered" to be mindless robots.

Hey we vote for TA that requires less pilots so now they say no hiring. Why would anybody be surprised?
