I flew my first DL B712 this morning from ATL-LIT (N929AT) and we had a maintenance delay in our departure due to a 'minor maintenance delay.' Since this was only the 5th revenue flight of this plane in DL colors, I didn't think much of it.... however, that same ship is coming back to LIT...
This was on the other forum;
Working the same number of days, the average SWA Captain made a little over $50K more in total compensation than I would have made as an MD-88/90 Captain at Delta.
Or put another way, for the year I worked 24 days MORE than the average SWA Captain, and I made...

This weekend I received two complaints about a Friday item, the request of American Airlines to do away with a retiring pilot’s option to get his or her pension as a lump sum.
1. Someone in...
This was 9 years ago;
FORT WORTH, Texas — American Airlines will lay off 2,500 pilots over the next year as it cuts costs in hopes of staving off bankruptcy, union officials said Tuesday.
About 21 percent of American's 12,000 pilots will...
Is this true?
For Southwest's pilots, the number-one ranking means their plan "gets average plan participants to retirement faster than any other 401(k) plan in the country," says Bryan Lorenz, Brightscope's vice president of data. "A participation rate of nearly 100 percent as well as the...
i saw yesterday where UAL moved gates at DFW from B terminal to E,
strange move until i saw CAL was next to them.
i think Northwest was there before and it is all fitting together.
Is this happening at other airports?
Whine lover,
How is Front Office and the sailboat...update please.
PS; all this banter about SWA and RAH reminds me of fighting
over first class tickets on the Titanic.
The group had a limited supply of food... and no apparent prospects for rescue. With supplies dwindling, discussion turned to whether the group should eat the pilot.
Anyone know how he is doing?
i have an EAL friend who bought a boat,
found a new friend, when he got tired of her
he put all of her stuff on the dock and moved on.
Dave sold about 100,000 shares last 2 months, about
$1,000,000 per month.
At that rate he can only continue for 6 years before he is out of shares...don't you love the airline business!
Oh i forgot he was only making $1 per year.. for the talk shows.
People need to read the whole story....did SW buy $464 million stock buy-back during last year's qtr.?
Anyone think they might be trying to keep wages in line?
If they had reported 3/4 billion profit in one qtr. the Dem's
would have them before a congressional hearing for overpricing!!
Everything in the following list is proportional to today's cost except airfare and Pilot pay;
As we open the Golden Age of the Flying Clippers, we find the world in a deep economic depression. The United States has just been through what will have been, the two worst years of it. Franklin...
Congressman George Miller:
I was hired as a pilot in 1979 by UAL after being military trained, flying helicopters in Viet Nam and 10 years of corporate jet flying. I flew as a flight engineer, co-pilot, captain and line check airman both domestic and international. I was contractually...
Was listening to the scanner while biking today and heard a crew over Chicago say they were pulling out of DFW 1st quarter 2004 but i didn't get the flight #. Anyone know who it is?
Also heard ice at 14,000ft and was wondering what part of the engines supply heat and does it just exhaust at the...
Anyone else have a recurring dream that you are taking off and wires keep getting in your way and you are not sure if you should climb or dive to miss them?
Another that you are backing up the car and the more you press on the brakes the faster you go?
Anyone care to add others?
PS, i am not...
