Delta Parking 767's rumor

[Scope out RJ's]

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?

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


OYS

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:

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.

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

Ouch!

........says the furloughed American pilot now working at Jet Blew!

I don't think there's a Delta pilot on property right now worried about getting furloughed.

I'm not worried at all. I don't think anyone should be. There will be a normal slow down in the Fall, followed by a big ramp up for Spring and Summer. Same as always. Oil prices have come down 15% over the last two weeks. Retirements are in the pipeline. There is an expensive flown down to Compass and Mesaba that stopped any furlough during the 2008 recession. No need to get dramatic here.

WHAT? What buy out offer are you talking about? There are no plans for any furloughs. And if you notice the flying reduction for the Fall in the North Atlantic, it is for all 4 Skyteam airlines, not just Delta.

Another thing on the capacity reduction this Fall. If you look at the schedules, DL is putting a lot of A330-300s on Trans Atlantic stuff this Summer. That is a heck of a lot bigger than the normal 767-300ER that used to fly those routes. If you replaced those planes after labor day with 767ERs, wouldn't that mean a large CAPACITY reduction? What if you just moved those planes to fly Southern Routes during the South American Summer (and our Winter)? That would equal a CAPACITY REDUCTION for the FALL, by just switching planes around. This Summer DL has put A333s on ATL to BCN, DUB, and FCO, and JFK to ATH, BCN, and DTW to FCO (which is Seasonal). Add to that the ATL to Venice and Athens service that is always seasonal on the 767ER that always goes away after Labor Day, and there is the Capacity reduction. There will be some temporary parkings too (some 744s), but they will be getting new lie flat seats and new IFE systems, and that is a perfect time to do that.

Good old Delta and their capacity reductions. That's what they're known for there. Capacity reductions...and pay cuts...and furloughs...and farming out flying.

Don't you have anything better to do?

Probably. But same could be said for Genitals Lee. I wish you Delta guys had better things to do other than bring down the lifestyle of a commercial airline pilot. And then brag about how awesome you are.

If you were getting on at Southwest as you claim you really would not be focusing on Delta now would you.
