Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

I didn't go to many meetings but was at one or two as a coat tail rider. In the hospitality suite, there was all top shelf booze, premium beer and a lot of appetizers. The breakfasts were all buffet. I found that the association paid per diem (it was like 70/day back then) whether you spent it or not. I can see where someone could easily rack up $200/day with the free booze, appetizers, breakfast and then the per diem on top of that.

Word on the street (the DALPA board) is:
* Late May/Early June AE
* A330-200 base in ATL -- flying taken from SEA
* A320 base in NYC -- flying taken from MSP
No. I do not know how it could be just an A330-200 base in ATL and I didn't ask.
and
Of course, everything is from second and third hand sources, but what isn't?

such as africa and deep sa routes. Don't think you can open up a base that just flies- 200s
as all pilots fly both models. Methinks the flying for the 330 out of atl is starting to look unattractive except for 2 or 3 destinations.

That hasn't been my experience. Maybe it's different for MEC/LEC reps, but I was given an expense form after the conferences I attended. These forms required me to list meal amounts to get reimbursement. Since nearly all of the food was provided, there was nothing to claim.

The implication for an atl a330-200 base would be very long block times
such as africa and deep sa routes. Don't think you can open up a base that just flies- 200s
as all pilots fly both models. Methinks the flying for the 330 out of atl is starting to look unattractive except for 2 or 3 destinations.

If the 330 moves into ATL, it will be interesting to watch the feeding frenzy of guys trying to get on it, and the unintended consequences of the ensuing backfill and displacements. Wonder how many of those "I'll never fly an Airbus" guys will change their minds?
Could be tough for the guys in SEA that were surprised they got the SEA 7ER award. Hopefully not for Denny Crane, of course.

How about the MEC treasurer publish the FPL data and all of the rest of the information...as required by resolution.
I am making out with ALPA right now. Are you jealous PG?

This is mostly TIC, but you're kidding, right? Atlanta 330 will only get 2 or 3 good destinations? Are you forgetting what airline you work for? Do you honestly think the "home 'drome" is not going to get a crack at every cherry destination the 330 already serves? (not to mention the ones that will be taken from the ATL7ER.)

The question is how is the staffing in SEA and say DTW on the 330? If staffing is low couldn't they move flying to ATL with a minimal draw down if any in those bases?

Don't worry. Next week the rumor will be that SEA is doubling in size and that the 787 will be there next fall.
I'm starting to catch on.
