Delta Parking 767's rumor

[BrickTop]

DELTA is a laughing matter anymore. Any airline who's CEO earns 8m and still cant post a profit while disrupting and ruining hundreds of careers should be meeting the door way with his head. CONSTANT capacity cuts, scale backs and furloughs and they still cant manage to get costs under control.

but i thought they made $1.8MM last year, hired last year, and brought down debt by over a MM last year. When did they furlouh? Is there an airline out there that was able to control fuel costs this year? Should he have better been able to control the earthquake in japan? we are talking about q1, right?

I assume that you didn't put your app in last go around? I know most people would rather stay at a rj job over that ********************ty Delta. PS make sure you don't apply next year either.

I will take the worst major airline job over the best regional airline job. Then again, I have no desire to go back to the airlines.

You are just making yourself look dumb. Did you not notice the big profits last year? Have you not noticed the huge rise in fuel cost this year? When did we furlough? You are the laughing matter now.

You know Southwest has a 79 hour reserve guarantee. Details like that need to be addressed in 2012, not just pay rate.

SWA guarantee varies depending on the number of days in the month:
- 31 days = 89 credits
- 30 days = 87 credits
- 28/29 days = 85 credits

Contractually speaking there is no difference between reserve guarantee and line guarantee. Practically speaking reserve guarantee is actually higher because reserves get 6 credits per day resulting in reserve lines that are:

- 31 days = 96 credits (16 days of reserve)
- 30/29 days = 90 credits (15 days of reserve)
- 28 days = 85 credits (14 days of reserve)

Hope that helps.

You guys crack me up. Welcome to ATL SWA guys and girls. One fewer airline is a good thing and I wish the AirTran people the best. The current "best" contracts in the industry are abysmal. If we all ever stop sniping at each other and act like the group of professionals we're supposed to be, we might bring this career back to where it should be.

I realize this is flightinfo, and facts only get in the way of a good "my airline is better than your airline," slamfest, but from the Delta company page:

Delta Air Lines Announces $158 Million Quarterly Profit and $1.4 Billion Annual Profit, Excluding Special Items

How much of that is going to the pilots who've sacrificed so much since the BK scam?

(it's not my airline is better, it's our mgmt and work environment is clearly better- for which I am grateful - no international ops- but come home off trips well rested and usually smiling. I support the thousands of DALPA pilots who recognize how past generations have screwed the industry with all their outsourcing and are working to change it and bring that flying back into the fold. It's not as aggressive as I'd like- but it's better than the overt denial and greed that has marked DALPA's last decade)
