Thanks, Scoop and Alan.

I'm sincerely curious as to why every large airline in the world, foreign and US, can make money with way more large widebodies than DL, including and especially pretty much all of DL's JV partners, including two money losing albatrosses that we single handedly bailed out (VA and KA).

Don't forget the others starting with the now defunct Aeroperu, GOL, etc. I hope the arbitrator comes down hard on DAL over the JV imbalance.

Didn't you just contradict your stance in the same post?

We have low debt. Getting better every day. I like that even if it means not flying 100 787s. We just need to be paid better than anyone else for what we have.

debt is slavery

I know why tsquare needs a new screen name. He found a cocktail waitress on Match.com. She was going to blow him off like they usually do, but he kept bragging about how much money he makes. She did a Google search, and found he would be gone more than half the time, so she bit the bullet and chased the money.

Two weeks later, they were married. Two months later, she wanted out. She was sick of him wearing his Delta hat when mowing the lawn and sitting on the throne; tired of being berated when there weren't any Milano cookies left in his snack basket, and totally over being made to a walkaround every time they drove somewhere.

She found the best divorce attorney she could find. Tsquare went cheap (imagine that) and hired a lawyer with 10 teeth. During the proceedings, she was asked to describe their sex lives. She said, "fast, compulsory, and unfulfilling." To the same question, tsquare responsed, "expeditious and economical."

Long story short, she took him to the cleaners. She got his best moonshine still, his coonskin cap collection, and his most prized possession: his "tsquare" screen name.

That's probably why he's even more of an antisocial misanthrope as Bender Rodriguez...and explains his contract wants, too.

Anyone know the impetus of this? MD crews are arguably the hardest-working for any given hour of flight...why do they accept less than the others?

Is it just me, or did their emerging bromance just get a bit creepy?

DALPA used a "payload/range" formula to calculate the hourly rate.

That is the supposed origin of how the 777 pays the same as the whale and the 330 as the 765. Dumb.

It's all part of the charm...
