Union: Delta wants to cut pilot jobs

[General Lee]

YYYAAAWWWWNNNN!!!!!!!!

PHL, RFD, LBB and on and on and on... you're like a broken f&^king record. Don't worry about brown town toolboy, they want concessions like any other company and they spew the same crap as Delta and other airlines. Worry about keeping the roof from caving in at "your" airine. HHHMM.... I might save an IPAer's job and take a leave and accept recall bact to "your" airline and burn through some of that delta cash for a few years. Thanks for the idea general.

Net

ps I'll say hi to all the rampers in PHL, RFD, and SDF for ya at 3am......and I'll tell all the SWA guys to say hi to their rampers in LBB for ya also......


seriously.... good luck to you NWA/DAL guys and gals, but you need to get the f&^king knob cheerleader off your team....

Getting tired of the 3am ONT flying, eh? Great, come on back to DL and you'll only do a couple allnighters a month. Great plan Stan, it may work out for you.

I understand your fear! The way comair is winding down to nothing, I'd be too.
How was that profit sharing check?

I paid my car payment with it, so not bad.

If you are getting profit sharing as a Comair pilot, then that is coming out of the pockets of Delta pilots. That WILL stop.

If we are all making money I don't have a problem sharing the wealth. If Delta pilots are not getting profit sharing, connection pilots are not either.

Does somebody want to bring this up on the DALPA board? Might bear investigating.

Puff, all I have to say is FFD, and a guaranteed margin. Regional's love it. It is where our mainline paychecks went.

Sure, management types do say some things in the Media to help their stocks a bit, but if they get it wrong too often, the SEC gets involved.

So let me get this straight - Delta posts a $700 million dollar loss at the same time Comair pays out 3.7% profit sharing and you're prepared to believe anything management tells you about FY09 profitability.

Am I getting that right?

What are you going to do, merge us?

I know that, if you go back several pages in this thread we discussed that. It was a joke---someone trying to be like Johnnie Cochran.....

In my defense, I rhymed nothing.

How long will that profit sharing last buying JFK hotel rooms for early morning shows?

We all knew Q1 was going to suck, and it was "as advertised." Q2 will be better, and the rest of the year will be a lot better.

The only savior I see to keeping Major jobs alive is pay cuts and scope relief. Its just a matter of time before MGMT pushed hard enough on the open wounds of "reductions" to make us squeal. Not what I had planned for ten years in the business. But seems its the way it will go.

Umm no

Besides, if you actually look at the upcoming retirements you will see that hiring will happen and in large numbers. Its going to be slow to start but its coming, you just have to look past your nose.
