I ran into a Fedex MD11A friend today at Costco. He is just finishing LCA training and has his first OE coming up for a new hire placed directly into ANC MD11. Btw, he has 17 years seniority there.
Thought I'd pass that years of service along for comparison and contrast.

That is if you compare AA to DL indirectly. Directly, DL has already shed plenty in BK that AMR still has (pension, work rules, no PBS, etc), and DL is making a lot more money than AA. DL should be compared to a healthy carrier just getting stronger. AMR BK was a foregone conclusion for the last couple years.

A friend who started at SWA just before I started here (about 4 years ago) grossed $16,000 last month. Not even working that hard. Please pass that on to the captains you fly with. How many years at Delta would that take right now? 15? 20? And he is flying a 737. All domestic. How long until openers?

And...where exactly do we (Delta) compete, head to head, against AA any more?
We pulled out of DFW a long time ago, and MIA, and ORD, and LAX and BOS and and and...
So while Delta's management will be happy to tell you, "AA is in bankruptcy now, we have to keep our costs down, to compete with them." that is exactly what AA's Mgt is telling them! "Delta went through bankruptcy, we have to have shed your retirements and we need PBS to compete with them..."
It's always been a Monkey see, Monkey do industry.
Many years ago Bob Crandal said, "This industry is always being led by the Dumbest competitor."
So...who's turn is it this year?

Just attempted to have the Emirates conversation with the wife. Apparently my, "It'll be just like Peachtree City on the beach" sales pitch lacks polish....

Dude, you need to get her over there, take her to the mall, let her go skiing! Then take her to the beach, all in the same day!
And if you want to pitch the PTC angle, say, "It'll be just like PTC, without all the a-holes."
