Delta merger:Anderson's style: Dream big act fast--artilce

[Tanker Clown]

Here is a good rumor for you, hot off the press. Not only are the executives in NY trying to hammer out a deal for a merger so are the MEC's and or their merger committees. Apparently Anderson wants a package deal all announced at once.

Do you think Anderson will want the furloughs announced at once as well?

I doubt it, but I will look for you. Hey, how many layovers do you have on the AT7? 5 or 6? I bet the Tiki Hut at HHH is nice, but are there any other ones that are fun? Someday maybe you can get out of the SE and see something new. I actually do that on my layovers, and only spend an hour or so proving my points on FI.

Don't go too far John..........remember, the "general" thinks he's better than you because he flies (actually copilots) a bigger plane than you. He has nicer overnights and might get a bigger paycheck.

Well, then I guess he IS a more worthy human being and you're just a "peon". If he doesn't think you're in his "league", then you're not.

Never forget.

Just one more thing for you and the rest of the desk pilots to slap hineys around the men's showers about, eh?
BTW, Southwest went off the runway, shouldn't you be over there telling them to keep it on the pavement?

Wow, that's funny, I think I told Fly4hire that same rumor about the pre-packaged deal. I told him I heard it too from a NWA 747 Captain.

I believe he has already posted something obnoxious over there.....no surprise...

Wow, I am only a 767 "Co-pilot" and he is a "Captain" on an AT7..... (great, I was a captain at the commuters back then too)

Never forget? How about type out an App? Go for it, and maybe you too can achieve a better wage and see the world. If you want to see the world from 16,000 feet at 200kts, then great. Others aspire to see more. I never said I was "better" than he was, he just made fun of my need to see something outside the SE. I enjoy it a lot.

Why type out an app and get on with Delta just to turn around and get furloughed after a merger or more quarterly losses? The merger will happen, Delta will post more losses this year, the General will continue to tell us how awsome the loss was, and this poor guy from the is commuter airline will now be out of two jobs.

Doing things "fast" gives him a great opportunity to give the employees the "bum's rush" when it comes to modifying the union contracts.

Not so fast Richard.

You see very little, but no one will ever convince you of that. That's because you seem to define life, its value and thus what one "sees" by the height above the ground, pieces of paper acquired or the "power" they supposedly generate.

I've met people who've never left the ground and make a fraction of your pay, yet who see far more about life, people and what REAL value is in this world than the person you all too frequently convey yourself as on this forum. I've seen more of the "world" then you have and many of those people I mention are the very people who see and ARE more than you (at least the person you present yourself as, on this forum).

Every time you use your "widebody" grandiosity, your "wonderful" trips and excellent pay and then couple it with belittlement and denigration of others who (in your little mind) supposedly thus are (or have) less than you, you prove just how little you recognize and thus value what is truly important.

At Eagle, I too can see things from FL370 and make 10K/month doing it. My two other companies pull in twice that annually, so mixed with other investments and the net worth of those two companies, I could probably buy and sell your whole family twice over..........and that of most of your captains as well and I'm only 42.

I'm not shallow enough though to equate that with any type of superiority over anyone (iuncluding you) because of it, as those aspects have nothing to do with personal value or against another.

Has mother Delta truly f*&ked up your mind my friend or were you born that way ?
