Well, since others commented I'll comment, the posts below are beneath that which all of us would expect of a Delta pilot. So I'm with Carl.
All of this dribble above is a big FAIL.
On a serious note, if Delta pilots are abusing the sick policy then Delta management and DALPA will deal with it one at a time. End of story.
I must say that the north pilots are like kids in a candy store with the new sick policy, Just call in sick when you don't want to work and you never need a doctor note. Not like the notes you needed before after the first call. What notes? Don't like the new commute policy, that is ok just call in sick at the last minute. Really? I wonder how long it will last before we (who is we?) lose it.
Ok ,first I never said that the commute policy was in jeopardy it was the sick policy. Second it has nothing to do with like or dislike anyone. As far as all of you saying that I am being divisive than i must be since I repeated what was said to me. by whom? I am not in any dept. to give you numbers or names, I never claimed to. Repeated what I heard, and yup that is all I did. If you like to think I made it up or changed what I was told then fine. Some of these dept. are small and saying who said it to gain your trust is silly. I couldn't care less if you think it is someone in the know or not. FWIW it is. Take it or leave it. We'll leave it. And yes they specifically said it was mostly north guys not making commutes and calling in at the last minute. Really? BTW.......I think that everyone of you wear funny shoes.

Well said FTB. I've been impressed by how DAL handles sick leave. They believe you. It's all about what they look for in all of us - integrity.
Now back to some real issues - like who would like some bar-b-qued Bevo??

Hoping you would notice Super!
Wish I could be in Dallas but will have to hope to be able to watch from the road.

Let's see....
As a Former North Pilot, I'm having trouble keeping track of the many reasons why we are so poor at this whole "merge" thing. Let me see if I can get all of them:
1.) We call in sick too much.
2.) We don't single engine taxi enough.
3.) We leave too many APU"s running at the gate.
4.) We complain too much.
5.) We don't follow established procedures enough.
6.) We overfly MSP too much.
7.) We take all the good "South" flying.
8.) We move into all the good "South" bases.
9.) We leave you all the horrible bases to fly out of.
10.) "Our" flight attendants are mean to you and the customers.
11.) We are too distrustful of management.
12.) We are too distrustful of our union leaders.
13.) We are not patient enough in waiting for change (for anything).
14.) Our negotiators invented the term "super premium widebody flying"
These above reasons are all fine and dandy, but can someone tell me when I can stop being a North pilot, and when I become a Delta pilot?
When do I stop getting analyzed as a "North Pilot?"
Is it a point reached on the above infraction list? 17? 21?
Or, is it a certain point in time down the road? A date? 2015? 2020?
Like seriously, when do the two groups actually merge? I must say, I hope it is soon.

Good for us in the long run if it did happen, I think. Painful SLI but probably the only way to have a west coast op of our own at this point. They do seem to know how to treat people right. The FAs are awesome. Hopefully that would rub off here as well.
