Loren Neuenschwander

"Loren has held a variety of roles with Delta, most recently in Paris as the
Managing Director of Alliance partnerships overseeing the joint venture
with Air France and KLM. His previous assignment included oversight of the
financial performance of the nine Delta Connection carriers."

Maybe they're being demoted?

When DAL owned ASA a bunch of 'em retired from Delta and created second careers here They even used RJs for personal transportation to the islands. Still at least one here, CT, that I know of.

Jenny you putz! That cubicle Delta has you in doesn't have a view does it. Or you down in mom's basement on the 'puter.

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.

Man no uniform allowance. I would just quite. Don't think you will find to much sympathy.

Your new President Ryan Gumm
is an ex Mesa pilot, I flew with him in CLT on the EMB-145, he was was a regional chief pilot and then President of Freedom Airlines before going to Comair and Delta's fractional jet subsidiary. I did not know him that well but he seemed to be a straight shooter, I hope for your sake he learned his lesson on how not to treat the employees from his time at Mesa. Good luck.

Hey General,

We are that much closer to a B-scale with DAL. You might be surprised before long.

 

[Kaman]

I am beginning to think that the General is a textbook case of internet manic depression...

CDR Wilbur NEVER served as Commanding Officer of NLSW.

I hope the first thing this new "team" does is fire SEVEN!

You know he has been right before.....

Had to buy my whole uniform here at DAL and no uniform reimbursement. it is a tax write off at least.

We already bought our uniforms, before this debacle, then the company chose to change them... well part of them. Thier choice, their cost at that point.

 

[Flyer1015]

Sorry people, but you are living in a dream world if you think 9E is going to operate Delta 717s.

 

[Flyer1015]

And besides, why would you want 717s at the regional level? Have some respect for yourself and aim a little higher.

 

[trip]

Definitely a demotion, just above "special projects". To go from VP's and international positions with the global major carrier Delta to Pinnacle in msp!!
Maybe just a cushy corner to hangout until retirement.

I would blame your union for not working out an LOA with 9E.
