Web fares, rivals cited for woes at Delta

"Delta, which filed Chapter 11 on Sept. 14, is seeking $325 million in annual cost concessions from pilots, including a 19.5 percent pay cut and rights to shift more flying to regional jets with up to 100 seats." - AJC 11/30/05

I realize this is Delta's pilots' fight right now, but this is what's coming down the hill.

Blee, I don't think I ever said you specifically had SJS, just it's a phenomena, in general. I also never assumed they were getting 900's...I read it was one with 1st class as posted above. So, as far as admitting I was wrong, yes, I was a little ;-) outspoken at the beginning, but as far as being wrong about the a/c, no, I knew what I was replying to.

Yes, absolutely, some have made good points, and I guess, going back and reading some of the posts, I was a little strong at the beginning. I am NOT trying to argue with anybody on here. I am just pointing out some things people I feel should be noticing, and stating my opinions. As far as them not taking first class out of an airplane, I wouldn't trust management to hold to this.

Good luck to all out there.

Delta is the one trying to fly the 100 seat jets. They asked the pilots union for a 100 seat payscale earlier this year I believe. The pay is pretty pathetic! It is much lower than anything else at Delta...despite the fact they they already fly a 100 seat airplane (737-200). It is a completely different scale
