This looks like a very strong team

Delta is putting a lot of talent into this company. That is a good sign for the future.
 
Why do I get the feeling we will soon be wearing hats at 9E? UGH

Hey I agree as hat optional at NWA but until I see my name at the bottom of my pay stub I'll do what they want. FYI my thought process is colored by the fact that I own a business and expect my employee to wear the stuff I give them too...

That's cute but more than half of this company does have hats because they weren't given to us, we still have mismatching coats and jackets because they couldn't afford to give us proper coats. I'm more than willing to wear my old captain hat as a FO with the grey to match the yellow and black with a blue overcoat.... it'll be like a patchwork. Anyway that's my current issued uniform and the hat is optional.
 
I haven't been given a hat. Or a black coat for that matter. And now we have no uniform allowance to buy them either.
 
No hat, blue winter/trenchcoat, black blazer. No uniform allowance. Delta gonna need to pony up some money if they want us to look like professional flight crews. We are mismatched clowns. I couldn't even get a pair of 9e Capt. wings. The only pair she had was broke....I was told to super glue them. Not kidding. It's gonna take at least 2-3 years to get this place running properly. Looks like my predictions are slowly coming true though: 1. Move to MSP 2. Name change 3. 9e operates the 717's. for slave wages.
 
I am very impressed who is taking over and look forward to seeing what changes are to come. I doubt we will have to wear hats since that would cost the company money.

Ha ha. Funny stuff. The 717s won't be operated by 9e, and the next bid will have the initial 100 717 Capts and 100 717 FOs up for bid, flown by mainline. Those 200 spots should cover the first 16 717s coming this year, and the next two years will have 36 717s each, for a total of 88 717s, all at mainline. By 2015 newhire wages will be $71 an hour on that plane, with 12 year Capt pay at $195 an hour on the 717. Not slave like wages. Good try Nostradamus.


Bye Bye---General Lee
