Someday.. maybe not next year.. or the year after, or the year after.. or... but someday, something's got to give. You will not be able to hold management (and the shareholders) hostage like you have in the past. They are handcuffed, and that cannot continue. The question is whether you have the balls to strike, and whether that Karma will bite you in the buttinski when/if you do. After your display as of late, I can wager that you won't have much support from the rest of the industry. You might have a problem that you created right in your own backyard. Pass the popcorn.

What's up with JFK--MAN/BUD/BER next summer all flights zeroed out in Travelnet?
Are we shrinking more?

Does anyone know if the value of a reserve day changes during a vacation month? Normally a PD would cost roughly 3.89 hours. 70/18=3.89
Now with 7 days of vacation there are only 24 reserve days in the bid period with 10 pro rated X days. So now 70/14=5. I'm not charged 5 hours per reserve day PD, am I?

I had a sit down with him in 2001ish for a P-Check. I asked him about recapturing 70 seat scope. His replied was that the current economics (pay, retirement, medical, ...) do not work financially for DAL pilots to fly a jet of that size and "besides, what pilot would like to come to Delta from the military or regional to fly a 70 or 50 seat jet."

Probably changing the gauge and you might have caught it mid upload. Go check the sked loads in the Marketing site.
It does look like they had bookings and the flights are cancelled though.

They'll go to the best place hiring at the time and you won't be hiring if you continue to outsource.

I'm an ex Air Force guy and I'm happy to be here. On reserve sitting at home with my 4 month old son is awesome! Besides I flew the C-5 so it doesn't matter what I fly at Delta since all the planes are smaller.
