Hey guys....saw on the deltanet website today that there was a flight attendant meeting with RA in Atlanta. The article mentioned that RA wanted to debunk the myth that he has an employment contract with Delta.

Would someone at that level of management at Delta NOT have a contract with the company? Even the CEO at my former regional had a contract with the company. IF he was fired they were required to keep him as a consultant and pay a min of 400k per year.

What do you guys think? Sounds fishy to me.

From the DeltaNet Crew REsources Page...

"AE Surplus Bid

AE SURPLUS BID NOW CLOSES AT 1200E, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22ND."

Just curious, but does this happen often with these AE's?

Wondering if they ran a prelim run and didn't like what they saw....

He may not have a 'contract' but every executive I've ever heard of has some sort of 'agreement' (worked up between his lawyer and the company's lawyers) that spells out everything from salary to bonus points to health care to etc, etc to golden parachute.

We have to wait another week? That sucks! I wonder why they're delaying it?

I am sure there will be a reason they are delaying it. We will probably find out shortly.

Heyas,

For those of us who speak Nordic....what the heck is an AE Surplus bid?

Is that a displacement bid? As in "we got surplus pilots, and now bend over"

or

Is that an additional AE because now they need more people in different spots?

Thanks!

You mean additional spots opening or closing? Give us a better hint.

You were busy, you have an excused absence, like national tv appearances, and thus you have been awarded something you would've never been able to hold before. Including all Saturdays off so you can keep track of the VaTech hookies. Whats with them?
