Coming form the north side, we had a very nice one page document we could print out called the crew member acitvity statement(CMAS) for the month. It included all your legs with times, pay, deadhead pay, sick pay and balances, bank balance, perdiem,trip hour credit, and other mics items. Very nice all inclusive document. So with 12 to 15 pages you would have a nice record of your entire year. Is there anything like this available from ecrew or any other place.

THanks!

Go to flightime log in Ecrew. It is the closest thing that I know of that we have.

The realities of this merger are also going to hit home for some north guys.
63 Surpluses on DTW 744B, that is a very senior job at NWA, remember, northies cannot slide into the 777 in DTW. The A330 is not fenced, any south guy can bid or displace to it.
The bottom line is, we are ALL getting affected one way or another by this merger, none of us planned or expected this when we started at our respective carriers.

If you look at the number of widebodies as a percentage of the total fleet, NWA wasn't that far off from a bigger Delta.

I might also lose my seat out of this AE, but I have no control over it, no sense on getting all worked up and creating a North vs. South thing here when the only truth and reality my friend, is that we are ALL getting affected by this AE.

There are surpluses on the 744B because you converted those positions to 744As.

Yes, I agree with you DAL330drvr, we are all being affected. But I honestly think, and no this isn't meant to be mean, derogatory, inflamatory, or anything else towars the northies, but I think you guys clearly have made out in this merger.

I think we will see much more fDAL guys losing key positions than fNWA pilots.

Time will tell.

As a senior north wide body copilot the above is true with one exception. I was retiring early as were other people I know. But now the talk of early retirement is over among the guys I knew that were considering it because of the lack of medical coverage under the DAL contract as to what we had under the NWA contract. Also Captians are sticking around until the are 62.5 at least because of the health insurance issue. This is slowing down the retirements that would normally happen.

For the DAL south guys, I am not bidding into the 76 a seat and have not talked to any 744b guys that are senior that are going to maybe one or two but who knows where the 63 displaced guys will bid into. Most of them are commuters--my guess is the highest paying position that is an easy commute for them.

Good luck.

Heyas,

I think this is how they code time available into DBMS. I had a number of P1 days this month, and it showed up as NWON.

Do not forget your Delta history of 100s of your pilots retiring early i think up to 1500-2000 guys giving the Delta guys there now a great move up in positions that you would not have had they not retired early. This did not happen on the NWA side. WE still have most all of our older guys including a lot of over 60 guys now. Cut off the top 1000 guys at old NWA and move every one up and you would not have a guy like me with 24 years seniority waiting to get a widebody capt seat. We did not want this merger nor are we moving bases and aircraft around. It is your and our new company DELTA that is calling the shots so put the blame where it belongs-----they are calling the shots not south guys or north guys.

We are just along for the ride and it is going to be bumpy for a while. Every guy here can tell you what he is loosing somehow. I have a long list but I will not bore you with it because I know you don't really care. Good luck to us all!!!

Well said.....

I wanrt to start off by saying I don't have any real numbers handy to refute your statement, but I will say that I think it misses part of the story. I'm fairly sure percentage-wise f-DAL had more widebody positions than f-NWA. But, probably notso much that you can say that NWA wan't a widebody airline. I think the real difference you are seeing, to a certian extent, the mindset of the groups.

I think for a larger portion of the NWA group, widebody international stuff is king. So, I think part of the disparity you are seeing is that more senior f-NWA guys bid widebody international stuff over everything else.

Just using my NWA seniority as an example:

I've been here over 14 years.
3 years ago was the first time I cold have held 320A.
2 1/2 years ago was the first time I could hold 744B.

So, I know just a few years ago, for six months the bottom 320 captain at NWA could not hold 744 FO. It's probably been that way off and on since I've been here.

When I was on the 757, I flew with a handfull of captains who would contemplate bidding 744 FO. I know of one guy, for sure, who did it.

Also, at a certain point in longeivty, our 747 s/o's made more than our 757 FO's and our 744 FO's made more than our DC9 CA's.

So, it's not so much that we didn't have the widebody positions, it's just that we had more senior people who wanted them.

TJMTC.

Whatever happens, like Keenster said, good luck to us all.

KC10;
I meant what I said. I would not be surprised to see a 01 or 07 hire slide in to an A slot. So many people are going to dork up this bid anything is possible.

From what I was told they are running the results every day just to gauge the fallout. I figure we will see at least 500 guys calling planning up begging to get out of their award.
