A friend of mine said this thread is still going! I had to check it out. Holy Crap, that's awesome! I just got back from a "ground job" rotation to Kandahar AB. Starting back at Delta this week. I'm displacing back to the 88. Looking forward to being a lineholder. As a commuter, I have decided to chase quality of life.
Hope everyone is doing well.
Cheers!

The other alternative being discussed is out right confiscation and putting the money in ones SS account. Research Teresa Ghilarducci. Truly scary stuff.

That's what we said about campaign finance, government ownership of banks, auto companies, the student loan business, and health care. Never say never with this bunch.

In my case my accounts have a few zero's here at DAL and a lot of zeros other places. That will not float with me. I understand what they are trying to do, but it is not going to solve it. I liked the idea of SS monies being put in to a 401k in my name.
When it is in my name from the second it is deposited all things are right in my world. If this gets traction we may need to look at a D-ALPA or third party managed DB plan again...... (not that I am a fan)

Funny thing going through training at NATCO... I asked the North Captain, "What's the big deal about the 500' call?" He asked me what I meant? Apparently, all of us South guys think it was a previous NWA callout, and all of the North guys think it was a South callout. Someone on the 4th floor has to be getting a laugh out of this.

I was there too.
Not much to really share. The good intel came from Clamp and Flyguy. It was more of a presentation as to where we were (industry wise) and that we need to be able to change and adapt to a new playing field with regard to contract negotiations. We are done giving up! It is now the job of the company to find the revenue. We (the Delta Pilots) need to have a profitable company and we are must have the long term vision for continued success.
Pretty tame, I was waiting for some chairs to get thrown and foul language but everyone was civil.

LM: I don't discuss personnel issues, but no one was fired (referring to committees).
Then on the break, KW: Well, I certainly didn't volunteer to leave.
