New once knew a call was a wrong number, even though the person on the other end wouldn’t admit it.
New, you now represent the DC-9 Captains:
New, you now represent the DC-9 Captains:
You real men on the 9 shouldn't even need a release. Just sit down, pimp slap the FO a couple times, squeeze the A-line's jugs, and then launch in the general direction of where you're going because the s-o-b will get there...always. Why will it get there? Because you have a hairy chest that would make hasslehoff jealous and brass balls clanging so loud that when you die they'll replace the bell in Big Ben with them.

It is not for a lack of desire, or so I am told. It has to do with the little issue of there not being any open production slots. If we can get someone to part with the new 200's we would.

I've got no problem with that, if money grew on trees, and Santa Claus could deliver. In the real world, where trade-offs are made, I'll take a bit more DC but I want higher payrates first.

Maybe they are keeping the worldflight contract to leverage AWABS/WDR to improve their product?
Don't think for a second that the only ones who will be trained on something new will be fNW if there are significant cost savings and revenue enhancement involved.

PG, After sending my Uncle Sam a check this week, I want to do whatever I can to shelter my $$. If we can get a small bump in pay but get maxed out on the 415 limits, that's a good thing. Hide the money from the taxman now but show it to him later when we are in a presumably lower tax bracket

Of course, I could be over simplifying YMMV.

Heard more specifically that the extra fuel savings would account for a lot of international belly freight they are leaving behind right now. Also heard the flight planning software is planning the 330 at .79 - normal is .82. Supposedly the code is written around the 767 which cruises at .79 and does not allow for higher speeds??

Is the 744 going out at .79 as well?

Pilots give DT a bunch of crap all the time, but I remind you to compare how the IT integration has gone compared to our peers. No USAirways merger meltdown. JetBlue had trouble changing to Sabre. How about a few props for the folks that are actually making that portion of the business work, so we can kevetch about dual releases and single engine taxi...

$49,000 (in 2010) per year, every year? Let's do some basic math. Assume that increases with the rate of inflation (at 3%) and you work a 30 year career and earn 8% on your money. That grows to $7.5m which then throws off an annual $543k for 30 years past retirement (invested at 6% in retirement). Discounting that to today's $$ yields $224k. So, you're saying you want more in retirement than a 777A Captain makes working today?

Any confirm or deny on fuel savings and the retaining or resurrecting Jepps/Worldflight?
