Question for Delta pilots, Did every Northwest Captain keep their status when they came to Delta? Also what year is the most Junior Captain? Thanks

Initially yes. No one was kicked out of the left set as a result of the merged seniority list.

I don't see anywhere to mount a tablet in there. Looks like they'll have to issue each pilot one. It's cozy in there.

Do you mean, did any captian lose their seat during the SLI? No, every captain kept their seat.

Now, with that said, subsequently, the company started moving planes and flying around. Since the only fence was at the top, 747/777, everything else was fair game. Some junior captains got displaced, but were pay protected. This was in accordance with the CBA and their seniority, and was as it should be.

The most junior captain is somewhere around early 1999, I think. Someone with easier access to a category list can be more precise.

Any chance Hurricane Irene is going to damage all of our crap at JFK?

I would love to see the airport demolished and they'd start all over from scratch.

Anyone else think that between the Eff'd up GoJet announcement and the purchase of the 739 that we've lost it.

I particularly liked the improved customer experience paragraphs in both releases. Talk about absolutely clueless!

I hope we order some more Airbus planes. I'm going to miss my tray table.

Nice observation. Everyone should be aware of this.

Guys,

Our scope doesn't allow it. We need to take the contract survey when it comes out, & hammer into our Reps that scope relief is UNACCEPTABLE! It's time to bring the flying back.
