Hey, question on profit sharing I just started looking into today...
I'm a long-term mil leave guy, 9.5 years on the books.
From the Dal.alpa website contract administration 11-01 they told us to look in to see who is eligible and what pay is eligible,:
Pilot goes on approved military leave:
Payout will be based on actual calendar year earnings plus assumed earnings representing the leave period
Assumed earnings will be based on the amount of pay a pilot would have been paid if working his or her Delta job
.... so, what is the "amount of pay I would have been paid if working my Delta job"? I guess this is, what is the guaranteed reserve pay, and what pay-rate do I get? My last jet was a 727... so is it whatever I could hold? I can hold 7ERJB line in NYC with 9 years pay scale?

Maybe, if Boeing took its cues from the likes of airlinepilotforums.com they could design a 797 that was less puffer fish and something more appealing...
And in the end the airplane would look, well, a lot like:
Can I get an amen from the Reverend Newk and my Fly Dc Jets choir that the boys at Long Beach got it right? Eons ago. Thanks you Seattle hippies, bout time you saw the light. Oh wait, that's right, you want a puffer fish... maybe that can be the first UAV airliner?

Heard a rumor today that CVG was going to be down to 7-9 mainline departures per day by this time next year...
Anyone else?

That number seems way too small. Although the odds of base closure seem more likely than not, 9 just doesn't make sense when you look at where the mainline flights are to currently. Flights that could easily have been pulled in the last two years but have survived.

I don't equate your picture to her though - need more of a wholesome, mid-west, girl-next-door look (this is your opportunity to shine
).The puffer fish looks to hold about 90 pax. Maybe they will stretch it someday into something that resembles a 767.

Keep in mind the NEO is a paper aircraft at the moment. Many doubt that Airbus has the engineering staff available to have the aircraft flying in 2016. They have several huge projects they are way behind on as we speak. Its far more likely the aircraft will slide into 2018 or later. It Boeing were to come out with a brand new aircraft shortly after 2020 they would clean Airbuses clock. Everyone would wait for the new generation. Why buy a aircraft mostly based on early eighties technology that will be outdated in a few years. That is one reason Boeing has said that the NEO does not make sense. I think you will see Boeing launch a all new aircraft before 2014 to be available around 2020.

We really need the data for 2010 since in 08 and 09 we were carrying a lot of extra pilots do to the drawdown in flying. It would be better to see the 2010 data verses SWA to understand how we relate on productivity.
