So is this LGA announcement the much anticipated rumor that we've been waiting for?
And, not to sound like a narcisistic pilot, but what does this LGA announcment mean for me as a Delta pilot? Are we going to get this new flying or will it being going to our Regional friends?
I keep hearing that Delta is planning some big announcement next week (the 14th maybe). I'm hoping it's not another capacity reduction with impending furloughs. Some guys are saying that we may have gotten a good deal on some A330 aircraft that another carrier canceled on. I'm sure this...
I've heard from credible sources that still no furloughs. If we don't get the numbers we were hoping for from the PRIP (300-500, and I've heard we're nowhere near close), then expect other programs to be rolled out, i.e., reduction in monthy max's (I've heard 70 hours being thrown around), part...

Delta expands cargo service
Amid soaring fuel prices and slumping passenger demand, airline discovers
fresh opportunities.
Nathan Hurst / The Detroit News
When the passenger market dries up, airlines try and get their other revenue
streams going.
Dogged by soaring...
Very good post Fly4hire. I think many people at former NW and Delta would benefit from this wisdom.
And General Lee, since we should all "move on" can you please stop using the pre-SLI, Delta union spin statement that Delta aquired Northwest? I think intelligent people realize that you...
What about MD-88 trips? What's the typical trip look like? How many days? How many legs per day? Do you guys have a common crew, i.e., the same flight attendants stay with the pilot crew for the whole trip?
I landed in IND at about 10:30 pm on Tuesday night, I think we landed on 5R and reported the braking as "poor". They had freezing rain falling all night.
Maybe some good news for the future of Delta cargo?:
DOW JONES NEWSWIRES
Delta Air Lines Inc. (DAL) will leave its U.S. cargo joint venture with Air France-KLM (AFLYY) and Korean Air (003490.SE) as of January, according to Thursday's La Tribune, which said Air France confirmed the...
Attention all Delta Pilots: The DC9 is just another airplane. You don't need to be afraid of it. I'm sure after a few sim periods and after a few trips, you will do just fine. You guys are still pilots right? If you're that scared, go out to your local FBO and rent a Cessna to get back the...
Looks like still one minor hurdle to clear before it's considered closed. Passenger lawsuit in SFO:
Justice Department approves Delta-Northwest combo

You're missing the point General. Putting the whole abitration thing aside for moment, which you and I have no control over, it's wrong for a pilot to be cheering on a lawyer against another brother pilot. It's fine for you to want the Delta pilots to come away from this thing with a fair, or...

This analyst says that airlines stocks are priced too low, even with the economic downturn. And who's stock does he like best?....Delta. He thinks that the merged airline "will be the airline to beat" in the future.
Well of course NW's opening position is DOH, just like Delta's was to create a ratio that stapled 500 NW pilots to the bottom of the list. These are opening positions. I'm no expert on negotiations, but I would assume both sides start on polar opposites, then end up somewhere in the middle...
I'm not sure why I'm asking this question to this board because I'm sure the responses will all be negative and only fuel my fears, but I haven't seen anything written about the bottoming markets (both foreign and domestic) and the effect on airline travel. Specifically I'm concerned about the...
...beer is cold,the chicks are warm, hockey is on 75% of the channels, ice fishing passes the time, etc... I think many of you southerners are going to like it. You may actually end up moving north.
