Delta Parking 767's rumor

[On Your Six]

That would be a real bummer for OYS. I would feel bad for the rest of the guys but not him.

.

Again, we are understaffed, and I am already a line holder. We are getting 60 MD90s in the next 3 years, which is more than the number of planes we are losing. And lower oil helps every day. Also, if I were to get furloughed somehow, I would go to the left seat on an RJ. As ACL65 states, things are good. And I feel bad for you that you fly 6 legs a day, even for higher pay. Give it a couple more years, the higher pay won't be worth it to you.

We are parking the 9's permanently, as the MD-90's come on they will be used to replace a lot of these and some 50 seat jets with less frequency. We will also park some of the older MD-88's as these 90's come on board.

We will delay some heavy checks on some 744's and 767's. They will be parked this fall (over 30 day storage) and then pulled out for summer 2012.

There are some reserve guys sitting on their duff. The Pure International WB seats always have a ton of reserves, and the MD-88's were staffed for the slot swap which has not occurred. The last bid took care of this and that shortage is being reduced as they moved pilots to the 73N in NYC and the 320 and 7ER in DTW and MSP. Our block hrs have been constant over the last year. The summer uptick is here as well. More reserves are not showing on the books with a way the reserve required formula is being calculated as well. People need to look at the whole picture. We are still very short in some seats.

What is guarantee?

What is guarantee?

70 hours for reserves. I just started getting a line up North here and I have about 86 hours next month. Perfect for me.

All the jets being pulled are going to beef up the Song operation. All remaining domestic flying not done by Song will be done through a regional jet partner.

Did the colonel get his foot rub yet? Or are you just up early brewing his cup of coffee?

You know Southwest has a 79 hour reserve guarantee. Details like that need to be addressed in 2012, not just pay rate.

 

[ACL65PILOT]

A lot needs to be addressed. Many ppl forget that the JPWA was for all intents and purposes still a Bankruptcy Contract. We have had a few improvements though LOA's but overall it is still the same.

Scope, better save up some cash and buy a 737 type and update the resume. Looks like you'll be on the street soon. Unfortunately, you probably aren't Song material.

Adjusted for hourly pay out reserve guarantee is just over 100.

Thanks for caring. My 737 type was paid for by Delta Airlines, Inc.
How will you manage to pay for yours? One cup of coffee at a time?
Better get those foot rubs in order sparky, I hear the colonel gets very angry and you won't be promoted past lav truck driver.:blush::laugh:

 

[SLUF4]

I think everyone's working hard on reserve except those on the -88

 

[COpilot]

Don't know about DL; but, CO parked an 11 yr old B767-200 yesterday, another in the coming weeks.

So much for UA pilots concern that flying would be shipped to CO crews.

 

[Pilotbob3]

Delta is waiting for the results of the buy out offer. Then they will determine the number of furloughs. They should start soon.

Ouch!
