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

[Heavy Set]

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...

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


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


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!


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


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:

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!

Sounds like he got out of there as fast as he could. I would too.

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.

I thought Dixon said CVG MD88 guys were going to train also on the MD90, which would indicate to me something good could happen. Also, we are getting 6 777s---2 in March for Shanghai, and 4 in a cluster at the end of 08. Expect another 6 in 2009, for a total of 20. As far as the 6% raise, that is what I was told by an ER check airman. Was he wrong? Probably. Was I going to tell him he was full of sheeit? No. Would you? I was not at the lounge meeting or privy to any of the ALPA info. So, I just passed along what I actually heard on the line. If people take everything I say as gospel, then that is too bad. I listen and I post, and I am honest.

Hey...lets not forget that Delta also flew into LBB and AMA at one time....seems they couldn't make any money there....They also had a large hub operation at DFW....couldn't compete there either....

777s..

My source says the BOD will be voting on whether to acquire a total of 20 777-200LRs over the next two years. Deliveries would be evened out too, since the current schedule is a training SNAFU waiting to happen. They will be deciding this very soon. If that happens, standby for more huge bids when the giant sucking sound comes from the top of the seniority list.

That will give us 28 777s by the end of 2010. I know thats not a huge number when compared to UAL or others, but it more than triples our fleet and will bring us up to around 150 heavy aircraft. Thats more than any other carrier.

Hope it happens....thats a lot of jobs at the top of the pay ladder.
