Are you saying that 401k ONLY gets paid with the end of month paycheck? Before I go digging, does anyone know where I can find this written?

Thanks,

Rhino Driver

Look at your 401K on fidelity. The company contributes on the 15th. Any contributions that you personally contribute are taken out of your pay on the 15th and 30/31. Man, I'm AFU today!

Did any other former North guys not have any 401K deductions on this check???

You bring up a good point. And to be fair, I did hear some stories of how previous classes did royally screw some things up. So I guess his demeanor could be explained.

He is a nice guy, but I just thought he was trying to hard to sell us on Delta ... or was trying to hard in talking up Delta. We were already on property, no need to do that.

Yep, there were a few issue with one of the first two or three classes if I recall.

And just where did you get the $3B number anyway? that is an awful big number to be pulling out of thin air. Actually, when one throws a number like that out without any justification to back it, it shows an ignorance of the process. But besides, we will NEVER have enough money to do this project the right way, therefore, we will always be putting gum in the dam. As long as lip service is paid to NY and JFK, this is what it will be. ATL gets a sparkling new international terminal... hard floors.. new lounges with shinynew flat screen computer monitors and working printers... and JFK gets new paint. The old addage applies, there's never enough time (or money) to do it the right way, but there's always enough time (or money) to do it over....

Yes you are correct. Terminal 4 is new. But so what? New buildings get razed all the time to make way for better more efficient ones. Space is a premium at JFK. Terminal 4 in it's current configuration does little to help out the situation in the long run. The dimensions do not work to put any kind of terminal between 2 and 4 without the 1 way alleys. (And I wholeheardetly agree with you on this one, that they must be designed out of the project). That being said, hard stands where the existing T3 is would not be a horrible thing if proper transportation to/from the terminus is provided (NO Golden Touch School busses). But I digress. What IMO DAL should be doing right now is conducting a worldwide architectural competition and get some rock star architect like Frank Gehry to do the design. JFK should be a showpiece.. not another ATL. It will never be as efficient as ATL simply because of the spatial restrictions, so go for the monument. JMHO.. your mileage may be vastly different.

I don't think inter-company transcripts should be posted here but they are available from Andersons' chat yesterday.
My take on some interesting Q & A's:
-No DFW hub
-more MD90's part of the JAL deal (lots of fleet questions so expect a separate memo on that)
-IT is a work in progress but he seemed happy with it currently
-Anything CVG sounded ominous, especially with up coming base visit

......gotta cut it short gettin new carpet installed!
Check out the transcripts on Deltanet.

DAL finally broke the $13.00 mark.
