Delta flight diverts on champagne request

[outerlimits]

"you're" and "don't." Also, what does your last line mean?

I'm really starting to believe that you're not only NOT a Delta mainline pilot, you're not a Mesaba guy either. You're a teenager, right?

Close, about 3 years past, but close. You never did say who you fly for Zone ? Care to tell?

Nope.

Kind of shows what you know. No one is a Mesaba guy. History Mrs. Zone.

 

[waveflyer]

Ditto.......I love the wise old Captains. They sure don't make them like that anymore. Sigh.....

I'm willing to bet Captain Tom Goodman was one of the good guys...

Get a room


Sure they do Zone- those wise old capts are the first one to tell me how great FAs used to be. Well, actually- how great every aspect of the job used to be compared to now---- nothing better than getting an old school crew who are fun, happy, and have common sense in droves -

s -

I agree . Also zone and fuby stop stalking me. Why would you follow me over to the flight instruction forum . Then slam me for asking how I can renew my CFi?

Now that I am at Delta, I can no longer walk into the local FAA office and get it done.

PS zone, you can stalk me a little if you want. There is something about an older women that I like. Especially one that keeps correcting me till I get it right.


Fuby get lost .your more like the old guy on the show, family guy.

That would be a description of me!

It's not stalking, O, it's called perusing the threads. I'm scratching my head over how a mainline Delta pilot would salivate over a job at JetBlue. I'm also a bit surprised that Delta mainline has a 22 (or thereabouts) year old FO.

BTW, it's "you're." You're welcome...... .

Thank you Mrs. Zone. I would really like my lessons as a private ,one on one session . If I could choose,please wear a flight attendant outfit from the 70 s

I will PM you my skedule .

Run along, son, I think I hear your Mom calling you home for dinner. I have a son around the same age as you and it's just creepy, so there's no need to PM me your "schedule."

Creepy is you following me on every forum I go on. Funny you would think I would send you my schedule .


PS why are you embarrassed with who you fly for,you will not say.

Is it Mesa ?

I think no such thing and who said I was embarrassed about who I fly for? I'll tell you this, it's certainly not Mesa. I just don't have to divulge any info to total strangers (some of whom are very strange).

 

[Paradoxus]

This is too rich...:laugh:

 

[outerlimits]

This is too rich...:laugh:

Ha go look on the training & instruction forum . They are on there also stalking me.


That Mesa chick is crazy.

 

[Paradoxus]

Zonejumper and her apocalyptically-myopic companion are correct about one thing, Delta-claimant, you are most assuredly not Delta.

 

[Paradoxus]

I'll not deny that is what it appears to be, but you did nothing to sate their appetites by masquerading as Delta mainline.

 

[waveflyer]

Oh man Rikers, I was about to congratulate you on a post where the longest word had 4 letters....

But where I was appreciating his little digs on delta's outsourcing, I'm afraid I'll agree- the dude's not doing his argument any favors- a good flamethrower had an opportunity to make a point.... One reversed now by the immaturity

I thought I saw you lurking there, you spectacular vaginal wart, you.

Ditto. He legitimately had it coming, I'm afraid...

 

[waveflyer]

Which I'll admit is not wholly dissimilar to my own aggressive hatred of outsourcing overshadowing any point I have on it-

 

[waveflyer]

Spectacular w/ something at least

 

[zonejumper]

Who posted he'd love to be on the bottom of the seniority list at JetBlue....
Yeah, that sounds like what a barely out of his teenage years, Delta mainline FO would say.
I'd put him on my ignore list, but the free entertainment is too delicious.

...and reasonably so, of course.

Ignore lists are so passe...

 

[waveflyer]

That's the part of his deal that I liked Zone- in tragic irony- before the silliness- he's doing the job mainline delta pilots ought to be doing before the divide and conquer replacement pilots were voted their own island.
(But on closer inspection, he wouldn't and shouldn't pass a mainline interview. All the more motivation to take it back DALPA- this guy doesn't need to be flying your families and customers)

(But on closer inspection, he wouldn't and shouldn't pass a mainline interview. All the more motivation to take it back DALPA- this guy doesn't need to be flying your families and customers)

I'd agree. This is the BEST argument for NOT outsourcing. You guys are lucky your management is enlightened on this point, too.

True enough Fubi.
Oh man Riker's- they don't have movie night at San Quentin anymore- I heard C-K was good

So, how do you take care of the problem NOW? There is no doubt a problem, but what do you do now? Do you expend capital to "buy back" all of the 50 and 70/76 seat flying? High oil is taking care of the 50 seat problem as we speak. How do you get back the 70/76 seat flying when Delta doesn't own all of those planes (they do own some of them, though)? They won't just give it back for free. There are other scope issues as well that should be monitored, like Joint Ventures with INTL airlines, and code shares will the likes of AK as well. SCOPE is a huge deal, but the question remains how to bring it back. With the second round of consolidation on our doorstep, there will the need to get that next contract done (they do not want to be dealing with that at the same time as looking for possible new "partners"), and that can help our chances with scope issues, pay issues, and work rule issues that all need fixing. The problem again is how much is each worth? I would not be for anything giving away one more ounce of RJ scope or JV/Code Share scope, but how much for getting those 70/76 seaters that are already out there? (any new ones can go on our property, we have the payrates already)

I am not going to vote for any relaxation of scope. I want more pay just like everyone else, but scope is the most important thing out there.


Godspeed!

[waveflyer]

Short answer: YES!

That's been the crux of my sellout argument all along!
that DALPA pilots never play chess, always checkers and don't make decisions past the current contract- always voting in the most recent pay raise instead of rolling back outsourcing bc they don't feel like it affects them-
There is a failure to recognize the long term downward pressure outsourcing puts on mainline wages-
I'm asking dalpa, for once, to vote their long term self interest over their short term one
