I have never checked but think that since my kids are only eligible until 26yo that parents would not qualify.

Medicare?

You going to call it;

All Ass Kan?

You can fly Juno to Juneau nonstops, put a picture of Barbra Bush on the tail and maybe Delta will buy it!

I'm sure you'll get date of hire!

I'll buy a 744.

I'll be #1.

After the merger I'll be #2 or something and eventually #1 for the next 28 years.

We are going to grow at something like 3%/year. If you couple that with the retirements, it's a skeeter on an elephant's butt.

I'm sure you could get a good estimate from Captain Harwood or the negotiators. A college mate of mine at UAL said pay banding cost them 4% of their jobs across the board. It does cost jobs and slow the upgrades. Parking the 747s has stalled movement at the top.

It might end up looking more like this!

(probably need to change the name to: Haul Ass Can!)

At ease ladies, sit tight and enjoy the flight!

Also, why do you think they combined the 767 Domestic with Int?

Because that requires less reserves.

Less pilots sitting around, less pilots wrapped up in training.

Less is more... for them.

Pay banding SUCKS.

Been there, done it. It stalls career progression, and cuts jobs.

Yes it is a big deal.

Tired of hearing about all these concessionary changes.... When DAL is the best, most profitable place. ***. (Double U tee eff is a blocked acronym? WHAT!
