Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

I stated that 56 747/777 bids were posted as replacements for retiring pilots after it was posted that none were replaced. More then 56 retired in the ER program. Please tell where the numbers wreak. They are straight from crew planning and I checked them against the bids I could still locate. Please show me your data that causes these numbers to wreak?
While you are technically correct, the overall sentiment is also correct in regard to virtually no replacements since C2012. How much longer will it be with real retirements and no replacements for the 744 and 777?

Ok, I give up trying to post the numbers in a readable format on here. I thought I had it and it did not post correctly again. I will be happy to send the data to anyone who can post it correctly.

They were also saying that it was in the correct place and on course from the last position (which was the FIR into vietnam... No one has mentioned how long the transponder was on in their airspace, which is supposed to be VHF radar control via all the pilots familiar that I've talked with.) This debris is almost 90 degrees off course and 100 miles away from the last "fix."

I'll concede, you are correct on the 56 number directly post 2012. I had forgotten about the ER and the initial replacements. However the proof is in the pudding as far as the wording of your post right htere. It's rapidly approaching 2 years since the last vacancy, and they did not replace the all 744/777 guys that took the ER in the first place. We are also a year and a half down range from Age 65 day, and not a single replacement for the the "real" retirements yet either.

So, as I said a few pages ago, if you want to be a 717 or 737 Capt, rock on.
But if you want to be a Super Premium Capt, not so much.

I must be missing your point. I posted what has happened sine the contract was signed. There is zero overall job loss. Yes there were categories that were overmanned and have shrunk. Overall however that is not the case. We even went up in 767/7er captains despite parking airframes. Timbo knows why the 777 has shrunk in ATL. Marketing shifts flying all the time. The 330 as a example was once planned to do a lot more over 12 hour flying and staffed for it. The flying never came and the numbers have gone down. We are up a significant number of Captains at Delta. If there had been even modest job loss in the new contract let alone massive job loss that would not be the case.

We are not down Captains because of the contract so again I don't get the point. Perhaps you should talk to RA and the marketing department. ATL-BOM alone was 25 plus captains jobs not counting reserves.
