I just hope that they don't shrink Mecca north too much. My family and I love it. It puts Atlanta to shame (lived in Atlanta for 20 years) in every category.

Anyone,
Why when I log into icrew sometimes the pop up screen says logging out? Can get into the flight ops page with no problem. It is hit or miss. Sometimes it allows me to log right in to icrew and other times not.

If I were SWA I'd be scared. They will LOSE passengers in ATL because they will discontinue AirTrans 1st class service, as well as the free satellite radio.

No Delta pilot likes to see jets coming to DCI, but the simple harsh reality is that these jets are allowed by our PWA. No contract violation has occurred, and are within the limit of 255. As Reroute has pointed out they have about 23 more 70 seat jets they can take delivery of to hit the 255. They are capped at 153 76 seat jest until the mainline fleet count goes over 767. We are over 20 shy of that number right now.
What them buying 70 seat jets means is that either 1) our mainline fleet count will not go above that number for the foreseeable future, or 2) they wanted jets now and our 76 hull limit passed a stress test and they bought what they were allowed to buy.
Yes, we need to make scope a top priority, not just for 2012, but for each and every day we are engaged in talks with our company, IFALPA, and the Skyteam airlines, or anywhere else, Delta Pilot jobs may be at risk, but to date the company is in full compliance with the limitations of section one.

It was pretty hard to get DALPA to believe, investigate, and agree that one of our regional DCIs had increased the max gross weight of some jets (in violation of our contract).
In regard to this topic and others (they are a holding company not a certificated airline) that I approach the issue of "contract violations". Does DALPA or ALPA REALLY pay attention? Do they REALLY?

When 50% + 1 are angry enough.. they will REALLY pay attention.. until then... your guess is as good as my wife's....

This one gets the "stupid post of the day" award, imo.
You might think you won't see the left seat for that long because of the merger, but I think you kept a seat and aren't looking in from the outside from furlough (like every other major carrier had).

Utter BS.
Delta pilots on this webboard asked for some form of proof/documentation so we could enforce our contract. ALPA went to management. They did investigate, and scope was enforced.
