Has it been decided that they are going to sell the shares? Not really equity stake that way!!! I would have thought we would have been kept in the loop a little more.

You have been. Read your union publications. It is all in there. It has been sent to your e-mail in box twice.

Hey guys, a thread on another website is reporting DL starting ATL-LAX-SYD service with 777's beginning this coming summer. Anyone heard anything?

Yes, two DAL guys were mugged walking from Manchester Arms back to the Comfort Inn. They had their laptops stolen and were roughed up a bit. When I was there this past summer, the Crowne Forum had 12 cars stolen out of their parking lot in one night. Hookers are working VA Ave up and down the street in front of Spondivits and Malones (and they aren't "lookers"). If you've been back there recently, the Crown Forum parking lot security is tighter than Fort Knox. Security at the Comfort leaves a lot to be desired however.
Definitely would not walk from the training center back to the hotels after dark. Either drive your own car or take the van.

The two pilots were approached by a guy - the FO sensed something was up and started to take off - the Capt didnt..and the guy had a rifle. He held the Capt up and the FO was on the phone with 911. Within SECONDS a College Park cruiser pulled up..but the mugger got away. Rumor is they were trying to find this guy and the supposedly got him soon after.
This march, some FAs had their laptops taken from teh Comfort Inn....a Pilot in class had perfume (she type) taken and another pilot had a chain taken. I had no problems. One of the Pilots reported this to DAL Sec and they investigated...I haven't heard of any problems there since..maybe they fired the housekeeper/worker that did it. I was super nice to all the female housekeeping staff thinking that if they liked me they wouldn't rob me...it worked :-)

They give you guys new printers yet up there? And an exhaust fan for the bathrooms by the computers?
In the summer that got rough when someone decided to [insert one liner] and all you had was that big fan blowing air into the room, not out.

Yes, it has been "quietly" in the works for two years. July 09 was the target as of three months ago. I see that it is loaded in the SKD. I am sure that it still needs approval. It was stated that to be a global airline, you needed to go to Australia. Look for SEA later on.
