Delta to hire 300 pilots this year
interviews have been scheduled in early July, that's the earliest I've heard of. On another note, Delta guys/gals, do your survey. It only takes a few minutes and % responding is an important element. -
"Poz and Hold" versus "On the Hold"
Glad it's being changed. The word "hold" in both standard calls here stateside, "hold short" or "position and hold" has caused a lot of pilots to confuse one with the other and do the wrong thing. It's an important clearance, and they should be totally different in my opinion. How about "stay... -

Once a Air Force Fighter Pilot=Never Cool Again
Just 2 months ago, showed up for IOE at Big D 45 minutes early from check in, and ran into my check airman. He says "let's brief" so I follow him into a quiet room. He sees that I have a revision to do and intimates to me that it should have been done already (apparently the fact that I'm way... -
A Quick F9 .... answer b4 the feces keep getting thrown
I've heard that's not how it went down. Didn't see anywhere where SWA moved away from the staple, so not sure how it is they tried to "move to the middle." I gotta feel for the F9 guys at that conference call. 3.5 hours and you have the futures of hundreds of pilots in your hand, not an... -
Deal's Off - Wow!
I can hear the lynx pilots crying all the way from Florida! -
Delta Pilots stapled to the bottom of the list.
I'm one of the staples. Personally, it cost me 40 positions. Not a big deal obviously and I'm still within 1% of where I would have been ;-). I'm not whining or complaining, just saying that it would have been nice to be integrated instead of stapled due to what can only be described as a... -
Delta Pilots stapled to the bottom of the list.
Internet Tough Guy: I wasn't whining, just asking a question. Yes, I would have still taken the job, but that's beside the point. The pilots who started in the last two classes were no different than those who started a class or two earlier and were integrated, that's all I'm saying. We... -

Delta Pilots stapled to the bottom of the list.
We were hired at the same time as folks 2-3 classes ahead of us, had id cards, employee numbers, and class dates. So why should we be treated differently? -
DAL AE is out
Is that the whole contingent of CVG 76/75 pilots? Do the CVG guys and gals who are now surplus get any kind of first dibs on the new ER flying or is it completely seniority based? -
Latest DAL/NWA arbitration debates
Not to throw Scope and DTW off of their personal war, but what is this Dec. 8 date that keeps getting thrown around? And please, no morons telling me that it's been discussed elsewhere- if I had unlimited time to peruse the message boards I'd rename myself something with a "super" or "general"... -
NWA/DAL Arbitration hearing
Just trying to remind my new brotherly friend that he may want to update that. Not uncommon for tacair guys and gals to get on with a Major with that little time, but you don't see it that often otherwise. So you had 50% more when you got hired on a long time ago. That's great. But let's... -
NWA/DAL Arbitration hearing
Please spare us all this "brotherly" crap. Both sides are fighting for their interpretation of what is fair, and no person, pilot or not, has any entitlement to being treated in a brotherly fashion if they've been brought to the fight with the sole purpose of misrepresenting facts. There isn't... -

I'm done. (NWA/DAL)
Fair enough on the superlatives. As for RA saying they weren't going anywhere, I think as he said that he was saying in his head "not in the first few months, anyway." Those airplanes do not have a future at the new Delta. Looking forward to getting out on the road with you guys/gals... -
I'm done. (NWA/DAL)
Yeah General, you forgot about the Super Duper Premium airplanes. Did you forget how special they are? DTW, the 9' is on the bottom of the proposed list because it's going away, not because it's the least Super Duper, so why the special status for the 400? Even the arbitrators know this... -
DL/NWA Seniority List Integration Arbitration starts TODAY...article
Ran into a Continental pilot a few days back on the train at DIA, a senior ALPA guy. We got to talking about the SLI and he made a statement, maybe because he knew I was a Delta guy, but I thought it was interesting, if not necessarily true (I really don't know). He said "if it wasn't for this... -
rumors from both NWA and DAL about 717
717 Huh? Well, it would be better to be displaced into one of those than a DC-9. Bring em' on! -
