First off, no to separate regular/reserve categories.
Second. As it is now, if I have 10 days of availability and I am most senior, and there is a 3 day trip in open time.. and I want it, it will go to a more junior pilot that only has 3 days of availability. Abrogation of seniority, pure and simple. Take these buckets/raw score/all the other crap restrictions they put on reserves out of the equation.

No buckets just a list of names that can fly the trip in seniority order with the guys who have worked already on the bottom.

Gotta love it, kid needs 4 stitches, urgent care says go to our ER because they'll have a plastics guy who can do better. Go to ER, no plastics guy. 2 hours later we leave.
Total bill $1400, total we owe after Delta insurance, $995.
I bring this up because remember where we were talking about how about being paid enough to afford our own product, as in airline tickets? I'd be happy if we could just afford to take our kid in for stitches on our company insurance without having to resort to making payment plans.

What you experienced is simply unacceptable. On so many levels.
I've been fortunate so far and The GOLD HRA plan seems to do it for my family.
I just have to fight with the billing people in the doctors office to have the deductible paid out of the savings plan, they don't seem to get that...

Thanks man,
Exerpted from the other thread
a little perspective:
Delta 2010 numbers:
I'll never start the APU if that gets us a 50% raise...

Delta 2010 numbers:
- CASM ¢12.55
- CASM ex Fuel ¢8.18
- FUEL Portion of CASM ¢4.37
- Pilot Portion of CASM ¢1.07
I'll never start the APU if that gets us a 50% raise...

Delta will repay MSP bonds early, remains committed to Twin Cities
I saw this on Deltanet. Does this sound ominous to anyone other than me? It brings back memories of Delta "remaining committed" to (1) the DFW hub, (2) the PDX gateway to Asia, and, last but not least, (3) the CVG hub.
It seems to me that "remains committed" is the kiss of death in Deltaspeak.

More great info! The more pilots that see and understand these numbers, the more unified we will be next year.
