Grassroots Efforts at DL for ACS and FAs, no personal attacks.

[Kev3188]

Wrong been nearly four years and all 37 stations are alive and well!

Josh

Happy to be have been wrong... So far...

BTW, it's 43, not 37, but you already know that.

 

[southwind]

And BK was 8 years ago, and DL is making record profits and STILL cutting employees. Like I said, you have no skin in the game and you still parrot the company line, the company you don't work for.

 
And 700 has no skin in the game, yet I haven't seen you asking him to butt out...................no double standard there, I take it!

Dunno what I was thinking yes, 43 stations. But ANC cargo closed and now MEM & SLC cargo too. Didn't some DCI handling work go from
M/L to Regional Elite and later DGS at DTW?

Just wait 'til you see them at the voting booth!

You just really can't help it, can you?

Don't forget SEA & SUX res.

Not that I know of, but I'm sure if it occur, you'd be all for it.

BTW, DGS isn't in DTW anymore.

Look mr dl professor whats more pathetic and even more sad is the fact u ram all the goodie bs dl does and slam all the other airlines for doing similar so button it up

no, what is pathetic is that you can't accept that there are indeed things about which DL is indeed good.

your problem is a clear hatred for DL regardless of whether you want to admit it or not.

for someone who has no connection with DL other than a father who used to work there, you sure have a hard time hearing that DL is doing something right.

it is you, not me, that has the problem.

 

[737823]

Where are the 15 remaining cargo stations? I assume DL uses Air General at most other domestic locations.

Res office closings are different IMO. I know to you it's significant being both PM-NW but with declining call volumes there is no need to have people in so many locations. AA has two US-based centers (SRO-DFW & SERO-RDU), US has two (INT & PHX) and UA has recently closed several as well.

Pretty sure SUX was a sweetheart deal NWA got towards the end of their standalone run in late 2007, it was a small office and they had the ability to break the lease. With more DL offices no sense keeping those open.

And if it wasn't DTW it must have been MSP or somewhere else I thought you or dawg posted about it. Between Comair, Regional Elite and all these subsidiaries DL has opened and closed it's hard to keep track.

Josh

 

[WorldTraveler]

DL still has more US res offices than any other airline, I am quite sure.

 

[737823]

I'm not too familiar with DL but pretty sure they have:

ATL, CVG, DFW, MSP (Chisholm), SLC, and TPA

Josh

 

[robbedagain]

Wrong mr dl clown i have NO hatred for DL just simple U will NEVER admit ur wrong even when ur called out on it

Kev do u know if DGS is still in ORF? They took over i believe in 94 or 95?

 

[topDawg]

I'm not too familiar with DL but pretty sure they have:

ATL, CVG, DFW, MSP (Chisholm), SLC, and TPA

Josh

ATL, CVG, DFW, MSP, SLC, TPA, AGS and they have work from home people also. (and centers across the world too. I think they just shut the SCL center down) 
 

DL still has more US res offices than any other airline, I am quite sure.

 
 

Dawg the UA IAM agreement is now the industry standard and unions at other carriers and DL need to remain competitive. The CWA is concerned about that agreement and it's difficult to bargain against.

Josh

horse crap. 
 
US pilots were paid dirt compared to all the other airlines, are you telling me DALPA should have taken pay cuts on there last contract? 
 
no. Delta is going to have lower cost than United mainline for mainline. I know for maintenance it is 10-15 cents per ASM. 

 

[WorldTraveler]

and robbed,
you wouldn't be the least bit worried if someone said something good about DL if you were comfortable in where you are in life.

You can't stand hearing the good that is said about DL because you realize that you had to accept working for US instead of DL and all the good that you saw there growing up.

healthy people don't worry about the good that someone else has. they just don't.

correct, dawg.

DL doesn't have to match other carrier labor RATES and yet still come out with better profits because 1. DL does a better job of generating revenue per ASM than any other airline in the US and 2. DL employees are more efficient than their peers at AA and UA in large part because of mgmt. decisions about how to use them - ie larger aircraft, better technology such as in Res and in ACS above wing compared to peers.

and as I have repeatedly noted, DL uses its insourcing business to create efficiencies that DL uses to lower its own maintenance costs. Thus, DL insources what it also does on its own fleet.

agreed. You can look at it from both sides of the fence, but economy comes in scale. Delta does PW4000 cheaper because it has its fleet of engines along with UPS engines, FedEx engines etc. etc. 
 
This is why I wouldn't want to vote in a union. I want Delta to do no less than 70% of its own MX in house, but I also understand that the MRO work is a big key in keeping some of the work we do in-house. The AMFA (the only union i would vote for) would have to prove to me that they can offer protections but also keep things that make Delta competitive (lower number of people per tail, high production and above avg. turn times) safe. 
My dream for Delta TechOps would be that they reach the LH level. Very few things they don't do in-house. A huge and global network, mostly line but even a hangar our two in places like Asia and Europe, and very profitable. 
 
 
Oh and sorry i missed in my last post but I do think Delta has more call centers now than any other. Not sure though. I want to say United had a ton of them. (but has been cutting them left and right) 

 

[Kev3188]

MSP & the IRC (Chisholm) are 2 separate centers...
