Delta to Song - Flight Attendants

[Stifler's Mom]

Why are many people leaving Delta and interviewing with Song?

Also heard that the 5-year leave will soon be up and there will not be enough positions to reabsorb all that are on LOA. Anybody shed some light on this?

Many people who??? Delta pilots fly and Delta ground guys work the ramp, while Delta CSAs run the gates...

This is the Flight Attendant section.

Ahhh.... Next time I'll bother to look. I just hit new posts and click away.

Sorry

No problem, with over 3,000 posts I realize there isn't much time to waste.

Several reasons for the move...
- Base selections (TPA, SFO, MCO (no mainline) .... and FLL, LAX closed to mainline transfers)
- Song is growing
- Work environment (Martini's for sale)
- Fear of mainline base closures and/or mainline furloughs
- Pax are more occupied with the video systems
- Previously, they were holding seniority numbers at mainline for folks to fly Song for a while (flowback)
- Kate Spade uniforms (although new mainline uniforms comming out in March 06 are very sharp) (search for "Richard Tyler" and "Delta")

I thought Song planes were flown by delta pilots. I thought it was all the same senority list.

For the second time on this thread .... Please realize that this is the Flight Attendant Forum, and this thread was a question about the Flight Attendants moving to Song.... Their Seniority list is NOT the same as mainline. Not everything on the web about aviation is about PILOTS...

REALLY????? I thought is was always about the pilots!!!!

Nope, it's on wheels. It was on floats last year and it will most likely be back on floats next year from the sounds of it.

Anyone know how many Delta pilots will be furloughed? I heard they want to keep the retired pilots flying past December 31. What a shame with hundreds on furlough.

 

[MissKittyKat]

Exactly what a shame to see so many pilots furloughed. Not good.

A little humor goes a long way but I know nothing about Song, sounds like a Chinese airline to me! LOL, someone pick me up off the floor.

I was reading all the other responses and found some humor! I love the quote on the sniffing glue deal! LOL

Does any remember FYI when Northeasten was swallowed by delta?

They used to have a "song" on the radio, I know it by heart from the yellowbird airlines.

I am female not a pilot and flight attendant, I hope I'm in the right group for responses?

Would anyone anyone at all like to hear the "Song"? From Yellowbird

 

[AMANSWORLD]

just read somewhere song is done - delta has said it is not profitable and will not streamline its operation-cannot remember where i read it
