can someone tell me why...

Can someone explain to me why 9e legacy pilots today swear that delta is going to absorb them into mainline delta?! Can you please stop feeding that story to the rest of the pilot group!

Haven't heard that one yet.

The same way they did with Comair???

Oh hell, I heard a pinch-a-nickle crew member swear they were getting the 717s. Where does this crap come from.

We still haven't defined "legacy" but I am "per-merger" and everyone I talk to walks with a head low and wondering what to do next as this weeks events shattered many hopes of a positive, or even neutral outcome. I sincerely hope this is localized. I know folks in all the bases at different seniority ranges and seats and haven't heard a peep of positive or relative hope. Only dreams stem in major's hiring (as in ALL of them).

What happened this week?

Hate to say but I think Pinnacle is next with Delta holding the bank note. Look what they did to us! I was talking to a 9E captain that commutes out of my city and he pretty much agreed. Very sad indeed!

Think this is a sign of things to come. The majors let the regionals get too big and now they realize they want all the flying back!

Seriously guys...how do you think anything that can be construed as positive is going to happen before the bankruptcy judge says they can abrogate our contract? The world is coming to an end until that happens, then the company negotiates a better, but still crappy, contract and we vote. Then, and only then will anything be positive. The crappy part is that positive in this case is going to be less airplanes leaving.

What happened this week?

The swap to aerodata did not go well. 2 days of mass cancellations. Our performance numbers overall (even outside the 2 day meltdown) are horrible.
