SWA to Boston, eh? Oh yeah? We get ANGOLA!!!???

[BoilerUP]

No, I do think our scope has cost us jobs overall.

You really believe that?

I think we should have been more restrictive. That is the way it goes..... I didn't get to vote on the last deal--the one Moak made. Compass would have been on our list.

Scope and codeshare for you dudes has been as effective as your no furlough clause, eh?

It's a tough call on who is a bigger jackass,

General lee or tankerclown.

I'll have to think about it.

You don't think 9-11 could cause a force mejeur? That is what it is there for. The economy and higher oil prices are NOT included in Force Mejeur. If there was ever a reason the company could use to break a no furlough clause----4 airliners getting hijacked and the twin towers and the Pentagon getting hit---was one of them.

And Gup, enjoy Mexico and Canada you jacka$$. Thank gawd I will never have to go to MAF like you will.

Hey, he's another corndog with an attitude. Things are all "peachy keen" in his world, even though his company really needs to furlough about 300 pilots, while their fuel hedges really bit them in the arse.... Things are great for them....

[jehtplane]

No, I do think our scope has cost us jobs overall. Our last agreement with the company didn't really do that, it did allow the company more 76 seaters in total, but they could have had those as 70 seaters instead. So, overall, it kept the same number of hulls in all. We did get some protection for all of our pilots that is not subject to force mejeur---all 76 seat RJs will lose 6 seats if one of our current pilots is furloughed. And, those pilots will spill down to Compass, which will cost Delta money with either of those options.

Do I like more 76 seaters? No. I realize what is going on. But, we are doing some things better now than in the past. For example--we are increasing the DC9 daily utilization rate this Summer to 10 hours a day from 4.5, and we are sending them through ATL to compete with Airtran. That is better than using 50 seat RJs against 717s. We are parking 50 seaters at a fast rate too. Some good things, some bad.

And, your 3 day works a heck of a lot more than 1 3 day Lagos trip. First class meal, 4 total pilots, and a bunk room in the first class area of a 767ER. Doze for dollars, along with a nice hotel with 5 restaurants and a nice pool. I think that may be better than 10 legs and 2 short layovers in LBB or MAF. But, enjoy your job regardless, I know you guys have fun.

There is no thinking about it Gupp... Genital is right... You fly for a POS airline flying 8 legs a day, in the same airplane, to places like LBB and apparently you guys need to furlough 300 soon. I also fly for a POS cargo carrier flying nothing but all nighters and soon we'll have to furlough around 700 cause we're just like FedEx..... hands down the genital wart wins the prize.

Heck... this d ou ch e bag has posted thousands of worthless posts and spewed so much sh!t that he's had to make up another screen name of car ramrod just to give himself support on this site. It has to be the genital cause all he has posted here is support for his lover the general. Hopefully delta is still doing random drug tests these days with all the spending cut backs.

Delta Airlines fly direct to Angola -report

Fri Feb 20, 2009 4:08am EST


LUANDA, Feb 20 (Reuters) - Delta Air Lines will launch direct commercial flights between the United States and Angola from June or September, U.S. Ambassador to Angola Dan Mozena was quoted as telling local news agency Angop on Friday.
These would be the first direct commercial flights from the U.S. to oil-rich Angola, and would serve U.S. oil workers who currently use a 15-hour charter flight known as the Houston Express that lands in Luanda three times a week.
Mozena did not provide further details on the flights.
A Delta Air Lines spokesperson was not immediately available to comment. (Reporting by Henrique Almeida, editing by Will Waterman)



I just don't think I will be bidding that. If it is a 3 day trip worth 24 hours (like Lagos), then it may go senior. You gotta have good security, and we seem to have that. I bet you are jealous Bravodude.

Trying to make a joke, you can't even spell the city correctly. Idiot. I think the place you and Networ-King need to go most is Uranus.

[GogglesPisano]

Yeah but the buffet wasn't half bad eh.

Not bad at all, as long as you avoided anything that wasn't boiled or baked and made sure to have the bottles opened in front of you. And no ice.

The hotel was 5-star, no doubt. Unfortunately just outside the locals were washing their clothes in a brackish river.

Genital warts...

Keep you homosexual tendencies off of FI. I think we all have known for a while that you are a closet homosexual ( not that there's anything wrong with that), but quit trying to pressure people on here to follow your gay ways... Have a safe trip to Angola...... d o u c h e.

You really need to brush up on DC8 systems, it may come in handy soon for you. Transferring fuel with those fuel levers will be great fun for you at 3am between Dayton and Philly. But wait, the fun won't be over soon, you will turn and go back to Des Moines after that cold walkaround. MIA sure was fun while it lasted.....

I'm probably just going to fly for SWA.

I wouldn't count on it........they are discussing you right now on PPrune.

[Dude]

I don't want to go anywhere I cannot get a chicken-fried steak. So, I guess half of our destinations are off the bid sort program anyway.

Boston is cool. It ain't Lubbock, but that's alright.........every station can't be as awesome as LBB.

Even with The County Line being closed to the public, LBB is better than most.

I hope y'all enjoy Angola. I'll be in LBB; or HRL; or OKC; or MAF; or TUL; or AMA; or maybe someplace exotic, like MSY.


p.s. The SEC sux.

I don't know but.......if you read the title of the thread, and read it again, you might figure out that I WAS JUST JOKING. Can you see the exclaimation marks followed by question marks? I was joking. Sheesh.........come on SWA guys...and I am senior enough not to go there if I don't want to---but 3 day trips with 2 legs and worth 24 hours is not bad.


Bye Bye---General Lee

 

[satpak77]

General, not for nothing, but most of us could give a ph**ck about Delta going to Angola

I would take 5 legs a day into MAF and DAL all day long versus a long trip to Angola

At least if I need stitches when I zip my finger on my flight bag I won't get HIV at the local clinic

 

[General Lee]

General, not for nothing, but most of us could give a ph**ck about Delta going to Angola

That's fantastic, and I expect you guys who don't care not to look at it. I was actually making fun of a route that sounds "interesting" and comparing the thread to the SWA thread about them going to BOS. Did you read that thread? If you did, then you are a hypocrite. Guess what? Angola is probably more interesting than BOS, and a heck of a lot more dangerous. That is something a lot of pilots don't get to see normally. You actually appreciate the US more after you fly away from it. If you don't like INTL at DL, you can bid back to domestic and fly the easy stuff. But hey, if MOST OF YOU couldn't give a ph**ck......... At World Airways the IAH to Luanda flight is one of the most senior. Not that Luanda is fun, but rather it is a high time 3 day trip. But you would love 16 legs between MAF and DAL within a three day rather than 2 total. 16 legs to boring places is a lot worse, but what do you know?

Seeing how I have already flown to over 10 countries in my current job, I concur that international is fun. Buenos Aires is fun, so is Santiago.

I doubt Angola is more interesting than Boston.

Drop the "I fly for Delta and get to go international" mantra, you have been at it for years, nobody gives a rats azz anymore

Enjoy the NWA/DAL merger and related activity

I actually did really well in the merger. And, BOS is probably a lot more "comfortable" than Luanda, no doubt. Please get off the "MOST OF US" don't care about DL mantra. Speak for yourself, and if anyone else wants to say the same, fine. You sure as heck don't speak for everyone on this board, even though you think you do. Most of us think you don't know what you are talking about, period.

Keep responding to me General, continue to validate me with your silly rebuttals.

Delta offers a lot of things, international, wide-bodies, Europe, etc...

However, as demonstrated by the General, Delta doesn't can't offer a life to its employees, that is up to them.
