Delta offers furloughs

[Tanker Clown]

Unfortunately (for them) tanker toad already works at Swa. He likes to bash Song (never gets old) and yank people's chains behind his little perceived cover.

Calls haven't even gone out and I got the job?!? Sweet! Thanks Noserider76. I'll quit my current job!

Then who will serve the colonel his coffee?

Are you talking about the Comair/Delta merger General?

 

[poppi]

Tanker clown you are a embarrassment for aviation and sw

Talked to a Delta management guy jumpseating yesterday and he said a deal with Republic was in the works flying 170/190's due to the cost of gas. Sounds like a smart idea.

It's a leaner and meaner AF. It's what has allowed us to make more money than Delta over the past decade. I know, I know, the Air Force doesn't make money...but neither does Delta. At least we come in just way over budget. So, to answer your question: Colonels get their own coffee. I get my own and I am a colonel.

Name please

I feel bad for any sw pilot that has to fly w tanker clown. It really does not say much about your interview process if he does get on. Most likely scenario he got turned down at delta and is still bitter.He does not have an interview w sw if he did he would be on the sw post about the latest hiring. What a sad case.

Actually if someone would provide us with his name via private email we can make sure he doesn't join us at SWA

You guys are slow on this interweb thing, ehh??
Alter-ego, anyone?

 

[Jetjockey]

TC has plenty of work, why would he be interested in SW??.............he already has a part job as clean up/towel boy at an all-male whore house in the gay district in Taipei.

That is not really correct. They offered early outs (not really furloughs, early retirements) for every other employee group except the pilots initially, because pilot staffing was fine. But, Dalpa came in and wanted the early out offers to be extended to pilots (like senior ex-NWA pilots who already have their pensions), and Delta agreed. So, they eventually offered it to everyone. That could mean some nice movement if some widebody Captains decide to bail. Over 2000 are older than 60 apparently. Now if you want to talk about future stagnation, let's look at your scheduled retirements.

Whats the matter can't stand to hear some negative news about Delta! You guys talk trash about SWA at least twice a day grow a pair will you!

P.S. I will gladly look at our scheduled retirements if we can compare paychecks as well'

 

[BrickTop]

More proof the hiring boom is HOGWASH.

Good point.

 

[On Your Six]

Good point.

What exactly is the good point? The General and I don't talk trash about SWA twice a day, he and I talk trash about some of their cocky pilots. You know, the ones that believe that since they are paid more than most to fly smaller planes to plenty of po-dunk Texas towns, they should at the same time put down their future brothers and sisters at Airtran and try to make them believe that they should be kissing SWAPA's boots for the pay raise that GK will actually give them, and not SWAPA. Now THAT'S a good point. And your paycheck is great, but not unattainable at other airlines. Negotiations for future contracts are coming up for many of us.
