Delta west coast bases

[waveflyer]

Or outsourcing half of your domestic operation is sad. Maybe?

Sorry I haven't forgot where I came from Dtw.

 

[General Lee]

I just talked to a guy who was a 18 year f/o on the bus in and recently got displaced out of slc... any truth to that???

No truth. Probably 18 year FNWA guy bumped from bigger bus (330) when that plane was pushed out of MSP.



Bye Bye---General Lee

 

[Helos2Galaxy]

Could have gotten a Voluntary Displacement to get priority in to something else w a paid move...

 

[cougarblue]

ok cool, ya he said he was an old nwa guy commuting to reno from slc. said he could hold 767er captain out east but decided to stay in slc as an fo but ended up getting dispaced to msp. Then he said if I ever got on at D I would never hold slc...

 

[RedRum]

They're especially good at being first
But spot on- I don't like any group outsourcing- but when the strongest, most unified of the big 3 does it just as AA goes into bk and concurrent with UniCal fighting against large a/c scope- its especially egregious.
Enjoy that payraise delta- it wasn't worth it.

Yep, sounds like wave is infatuated with Delta and is one righteous dude.

Tell ya what, you keep your house in order and we'll do what we can to keep ours in order.

You don't know what you are talking about. When you get the facts straight, come on back with a decent retort. Do you know anything about our agreement?

 

[waveflyer]

I know its the first agreement by a big 3 pilot group to allow -900's outside of "duress"- which means it sets a stronger precedent. I know that you can now add 70 more -900's without exchanging a -700 for one.
And I know that both AA and UniCal are fighting like hell to keep scope at 50-70 & you guys just cut their legs out.
And I also know that -900's will not replace the mission of most 50's- it'll be used to supplement mainline on mainline routes between big markets

 

[Scoot 11]

Oh look, another DL thread, and waveflyer jumps on. Did you ever find the name of that DL pilot that nailed your mom, sister, or whoever it was that has you so infatuated?
Flattery wave. Maybe in your case, it's stalking!

 

[waveflyer]

So classy-
If it were just a delta pilot finally getting laid, I'd have been happy for them no matter who it was-
Scope issues get me a little more dedicated-
You know the issue is you guys selling out....again- for a biscuit.

So what your sister sold out for less. And got to promote the video! Try something else you flame baiting ****************************** bag! When you work for a real airline you can get back to us. Until then you're just a hypocritical asswipe bottom feeder!
I'm done with you and your fiance redflyer!

 

[redflyer65]

Awesome.

Scoot, aka Biscuit Boy.

 

[waveflyer]

I think that's probably a good idea scooter-
Maybe stop by the doc and get some blood pressure meds along with the Viagra this time

 

[BOX OFFICE]

STOP IT! Just because management is breeding hate, doesn't mean we need to be their pawns in the game. We are all pilots, no matter which company we work for! This crap has gone on too long!

 

[waveflyer]

Management didn't make any DALPA pilot vote for outsourcing over the years. So that's a nice sentiment, but we are all very interconnected and have a responsibility to speak up-
IMHO.
And I do not hate them- even scoot- it's the best career out of te legacies IMO- but the outsourcing is flat out unacceptable.

Or you could go to southwest if you just pony up the money. Based on the posters here, the only requirement is for your mom and dad to have a thick checkbook.
Of course furloughs are more likely at southwest before they start hiring again.

I don't think SWA will be furloughing anytime soon!

Excluding items, net income was $273 million, or 36 cents a share. Analysts had estimated 33 cents. Including items, primarily unrealized losses related to fuel hedging, net income was $228 million, or 30 cents a share, compared with $161 million, or 21 cents, in the same quarter a year earlier. Revenue rose 11.6% to $4.6 billion, in line with estimates.

Operating income, excluding special items, was $485 million compared with $276 million a year earlier.

"We are producing very strong results despite a fragile economic environment," said CEO Gary Kelly, in a prepared statement. "Record revenues driven by steady growth were sufficient to overcome high jet fuel prices and produce a record operating income of $485 million."

Kelly said the merger with AirTran produced $80 million in net, pretax synergies in the first half of 2012 and is expected to produce $400 million in 2013, excluding acquisition or integration expenses.

Well, at least you admit that you are nothing more than a flamebaiter. Thanks for being honest. It's just really pathetic, and kind of sad, that an active line pilot for a great company like Southwest Airlines has, as his major hobby, flamebaiting on an internet message board on a nearly daily basis. Literally....Unbelievable and sad.

I find it refreshing to all the angst in here myself. Everyone needs a good laugh.

UPS is profiting in the billions and they furloughed. I don't think they were getting rid of 80+ airplanes either.
