The "latest & greatest" about DAL, is that DAL will retire a sh!tload of pilots over the next 10 - 15 years. If you are fortunate to be hired now, you WILL be a Captain before other Legacy carriers. You CAN fly a WB if you wish, prior to retirement.
DAL isn't going anywhere. They are paying down debt & have positioned themselves to lead the industry for the foreseeable future. They know how to make money. What other airlines are on the S&P 500? Exactly.
Adding seats to compete with the LCCs will only increase their profits. They will post a $400 mil profit, while UAL posts a $400 loss for the first quarter.
If you're a young & looking for a good future.....beg borrow or steal a way into DAL. You will have to wear a hat, however.

Did the reserve thing for next month and had a couple questions. GS is pay above guarantee, plus you get the days back if they are on X days, correct?
Second question. If you do a, lets say, 4 day GS worth 20 hours. 2 days are X days and 2 days then run into normal reserve days. Does this mean only the first 2 days applicable credit added to guarantee and 2 PD days? (or whole GS credit for the trip and 2 PD days)
Thanks

2. You would get the hard time of A & B day above guarantee, plus 2 PB days. The hard time from C & D day would offset RSV guarantee and any credit will ALSO offset RSV guarantee. All credit is paid on the last day of the trip, which in your example falls on a RSV day. I've had this happen where I flew low time days on my X days and then the GS ended on a RSV day. None of that credit goes above guarantee <---Be careful of this!

It's just typical Boeing arrogance.

Considering the tooling for the 757 is long gone, it would probably be cheaper for a clean sheet at this point. I also didn't like the quote "we will continue to evaluate the best low-risk solution for new development programs and production system architecture". When Boeing made the 747 they risked the whole company on it, and it was not exactly low-risk solution.
