So that means you will "work" only 10 days for 85.5 hours. Better check my math though...

Well, congratulations on figuring out that if you take TWO weeks of vacation you can work a total of two days less than your SWA counterpart who took no vacation, worked 12 days and got paid more than you for the month even if you were flying the 747.

Thanks for bringing DAL's great vacation to light again.

Ask a SWA guy next time you see one about SWAptamizer. Now, that is eye opening.

^^ saw it on deltanet but went and found an external article.

Right after we get done pardoning the sequester and sending it to Portugal, we need to steal this idea and steal it hard.

The 744 rumor is bouncing around. Someone in the crew room was telling everyone that his friend just read on yahoo news that Delta had made it official that it was down to just used A330s or new B773s. That Delta was going to stick with aircraft with a proven record and thus no 787s or A350s.

I've yet to find that article.

the article is on bloomberg. if you have DAL as a watched stock on your iphone STOCKS app it will link to it under DAL news.

I say this because slowly but surely it is getting closer to headcount. As our productivity increases, the gap between requirement and headcount becomes closer. That number, in the past, went from 11XXX, 108XX, 105XX, 104XX and now 94XX. The trend is alarming and my career progression is not looking too hot. The bottom keeps getting closer. Sorry if I offend you with my observation.
