Delta Air Lines Announces First Quarter Results

[ACL65PILOT]

Rationally, never say never. An opportunity was lost when ASA then OH were bought in the late 90's. Actions after that polluted the water. Unforgivable actions like not hiring Delta pilots without a resignation letter really damaged the relationship.
Can we get beyond that? Yes, in time. We need to, but many see other options that will be clearer in coming years as the solution.

How do you pay down debt at your house when you lose money quarter after quarter?

I do not understand= almost 10 years and only 2 profitable quarters ?

That is cooking the books, makes wallstreet look like amateurs!

 

[ACL65PILOT]

No not really. Look at the 8K.

The DAL MEC at the time never wanted a single list with a lowly "regional"....You can read it in their testimony to the ALPA EC. The single list ship sailed long ago and it wasn't the fault of the regional pilots.

I think the AF and Delta have a lot in common. Both are non profit outfits. Well, check that, Delta is a negative profit outfit.

How much longer before they start to consider liquidating some of this disaster? The share holders should at least get a few cents on the dollar before their stock is worthless. Maybe they are holding out for Song to save the day!

So when you're not serving coffee to the colonel or jacking off your "buddy" at swa, how is it you'll have time to save up to buy your job at southwest?

Maybe I'll just work at Delta (if still in business when I retire) and get a free type rating there. Then, after they fold or SWA starts hiring, I can get on with a major and make some real money.

Anything has to be better than an E1! You go for it.
Make sure and keep those massages (:blush up with the southwest checkairman, he's your shoo in!:laugh: He might even help you buy your job there, if you can get hired.....

 

[Tanker Clown]

If they are hiring, I'm a sure thing. I just hope I don't have to slum it at Delta or some other RJ outfit. I just want to work some where where wages go up....not down. Seems like only the AF and SWA do that these days.

I sure hope you don't either. And just think, all the while they're going down, they're still better paid than an af guy.
So what does an enlisted guy make at the air force these days?
Is it enough to buy your job at swa?
Hey, maybe you could send me your resume. I could use something to laugh at......:laugh:

Sadly, an AF LtCol makes more than any Delta FO, or even a Song FO for that matter. It's quite sad really. But then again, I caved in and let my employer cut my pay. That's more of a Delta thing.

 

[ACL65PILOT]

Not too sure about that Tanker.
The senior FO's are making well over 130K

 

[Tanker Clown]

ACL,

Between my base pay, housing, flight pay, and BAH I'm pretty close to $130. Then I get my $25k pilot bonus. So, I'm well north of what you guys are making. Now SWA FOs on the other hand are in the $150+ range. Hopefully someday you'll catch up with them. But hell, the way Delta loses money, I'm sure you'll take a cut before you get Southwest money. Or Air Force money.

 

[ACL65PILOT]

Brother, I was being nice and quoting your rank pay plus a few perks. Most nine year ER FO's I know are in that range if they hold a line. Now the 777/744 FO's are WELL above that.

Just think when you come here, you will have to start our at first year pay.

 

[Moon-dog]

Clown, as usual you are one!! BAH is housing, moron. I am guessing that your base pay is about 72K, BAH is 24K, Flight pay 8k. My math has your total pay at approx 104k'ish. Plus the 25K you get in ACIP(assuming you still get it). That puts total compensation at approx. $130K. You see I retired a few years ago and know that your numbers were a little high. How did you make LtCol and fly all those planes and only accumulate 1725 hours. I have more in the flare than that.
