I was on the Africa trip with Clinton, in fact my last overseas trip with him, but not when I ate the monkey. That happened when I was flying C-141s out of CHS. While we were refueling, the crew headed over the the terminal to get something to eat. The menu said "hamburger" so we all got one. Tasted a little "gamey" but I was starving so I forged on. Later, I asked the waitress what sort of "beef" that was. Turns out, they don't have cows in Liberia, but a ****load of monkeys. I can still taste it. Yikes.

Yes you can get the $$$ right away, but unless you 'punch' the company (your words...mine was grievance) the situation will NEVER change. A successful grievance may provide not only a financial remedy, but also a cease and desist with the contract vioaltions....I know which I would rather have for the good of ALL DAL pilots. But whatever floats your boat

If there are chronic violations, I agree with you. There needs to be something to stop it. But if it is... what seems to be the majority of the cases.. an oversight, or simply a mistake made in the heat of battle, I think a grievance is more than likely not warranted. ESPECIALLY if it can be rectified right then and there. That is my only point. Go ahead though... file your grievance, I'll call instead and then buy a few more shares of BP... oooh did I say that out loud?
Call them out. Ask to speak to their manager, and if they still assign a trip which you believe is not in compliance with the CBA, then yes contact ALPA for immediate remedy, but also file a grievance to help your Bubbas out.

Mesa to fly for Delta through Aug. 31
Delta has reached an agreement with Mesa Air to keeping flying commuter flights through August, thus avoiding a shutdown of Delta-related operations country wide, said The Wall Street Journal. According to papers filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan, Mesa reached a deal that will allow for an “orderly wind-down” of its Delta Connection operations during the next several months, the article said. Under the deal, which was approved by the court on Monday, Mesa would continue to operate regional connecting flights for Delta until Aug. 31. Visit DNN to read the complete story.
