Delta adds London Heathrow, Lyon, and Paris Orly with JV with Air France

[Linedriver]

So if a guy wanted to get back to Atlanta the quickest what equipment would be best? MD88? How long would he be on reserve? How does this latest news affect things?

Anyone with some good info?

Best way back to Atlanta? 1988 Oldsmobile with 22" spinners.

the quickest way to ATL is to take any equipment that is based there. Short of that, yes I think the 88 is the way to go. You'll be to ATL and holding a line before you know it.

Man...I must be annoying you...

Hope things don't get bad next quarter. We all know who'll they'll coming to for cash.

I guess that will be up to us to decide won't it sport?!

I'm just saying, you guys had a nice quarter. Looks to me that you need to stand up for yourself and ask for your money back. Not in 6% chunks.

Must be kinda hard to talk with your mouth full!:laugh:

Thanks for asking about me. I'm doing fine. I'm still in military and am deciding what to do when I retire soon. Should I gamble and go with a legacy and fly great equipment or go pay for the type and go with a proven quantity (SWA).

You gotta get hired first sparky! But based on your piss poor attitude, you'll fit in just fine with the likes of girls like swaf/o!

I personally am looking more favorably on not taking pay cuts and furloughs in exchange for a LBB overnight. My kids like to eat.

Your neighbor is doing just a fine job raising them. They'll be ok!

I just get a kick out of all the jokers always talking about fuel hedges running out. That's like saying that Delta will be in the red after your pay consessions run out...but then again, maybe they'll just come back to you guys and take it back again if the going gets tough. BK may be a little tougher next time with the new BK laws.

Bye Bye -- Tanker Clown

Couldn't get hired, eh?

Must be tough being apart from your trailer for months at a time. Now I can see why you're so bitter!:laugh: :laugh:

What upsets me is that there are so many pilots out there that are not doing the right thing like the DAL pilots that are flying for peanuts.

I tip my hat to the DAL pilots who are currently flying for hourly rates less than the Valu Jet pilots. Plus there is the priceless and exclusive benefit the Delta pilots have of wearing the double breasted "Captain Stubing" uniform designed by male flight attendants.

The low wages of the pilots make large corporate profits possible which lead to the most important business category - executive bonuses.

I will put a call into Dick and see if maybe he can appoint the General to some sort of managment position. VP of Kool-Aid dispensing or something to that effect. We need more guys like the General constantly reinforcing management's view of conditions at Delta to the rest of the pilots - "Everything is great!"

With a little luck, we will be on our way to delivering the Delta pilots the 10 year contract extension they so richly deserve.

I never said "all is great." We have plenty of faults, and I have admitted that. Expansion is a good thing, and we are doing that. To say that we are not is disengenous. I still want a pay raise like the next guy, but I won't wollow in self pitty when I actually enjoy some aspects of my job. If some guys want to excentuate the negative, go right ahead. And Frank, you crack me up.

Bye Bye--General Lee

That Frank Lorenzo guy is pretty funny.

30 planes. 10-15 MD90s, 737-700s coming 2 a month in June, 6 777s, and the remainder of the ex TWA 757s. Also, I have heard we will get that 6% raise, and we hit that projected number to get that amount already. We shall see about that.

Bye Bye--General Lee

Just a rumor about the MD90s General. Lets hope it comes true. Where are you getting 6 777s? As for the projected number required to get the 6% raise, our ALPA reps and the V.P. of Flt ops disagree with you. Lets try and be honest.

That's sort of a brash statement. I think he is trying to be honest based on what he hears. I have heard the rumor about 6 777s from my DAL sources too. I will ask them for more detail on where they are going to be sourced from...

Not bitter my man. I just like to point out that your lady friend (GL) is kinda a turd. He reminds me of a parent with an ugly kid that constantly shows you pictures of the kid and says "aren't they beautiful." All the while they point out every flaw (however minor) of someone elses kid.

Just an observation. I'm not saying that Delta is the retarded/ugly kid here, but it ain't going to win a beauty pagent any time soon.

Don't worry about me and Delta. Don't have an app in yet. I am hoping to get on with SWA. Not that DAL is bad...but I'd rather not spend my first few years hoping to get back to where we were a decade ago. SWA is a proven winner. That fact can't be argued.

On another note...sure, my neighbor is raising my kids...but that's fine. He fathered them.

Bye Bye -- Tanker Clown

Wow. Suggest you keep a low profile if you're serious about trying to get hired. You are making an @ss out of yourself and making it hard for former mil pilots out here to live down the reputation that morons like you create. Please PM me your name, so I can "help" you get hired at SWA....really, I'd love to "help."

I'm sorry your kids are so ugly. Maybe you can blame it on the milkman/mailman or trailer park maint. man.

Oh, such kind words!

Nobody said it wasn't.....Remember sport, you have to get hired first!

Texas Tech is a great school, they teach you that you should get a job out of West Texas.

You are right...I am wrong. You win. OK? The Schwanns man impregnated my wife. Delta is the best.

I've resigned to the fact that Delta will never hire me. Hopefully the AF won't kick me out before I retire. I just hope Wal Mart still needs greaters in the future.
