Interesting video about Delta here, at least if you've got a few million jobs that your system can't handle


A few million between 1700/2000 ain't that much, it sounds a lot but it ain't. With that many cars they shouldn't have any problems covering the work so I wonder why they do?

The video's about the technology to handle the calls, not how much drivers are getting.

You're quite right but everything effects the driver :wink:

Yes, the Higgs Boson affects the driver as well, but I didn't really think it was relevant to the video.

Well after listening to it, it sounded like the blind leading the blind
The LC woman does not have a clue, and if the rest of the LC are like that, what will the new laws be like if they are left to there own devises :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

You mean Trevor from Seaforth who dodged the question whether he was a taxi driver? (@1.21.25)

Wonder who that would be?


I'm with you... he sounded dead shady to Me. :roll:

market forces and what is best for the customer.... sounds reasonable..... but let's have a little think.... who are his customers.... who pay him.... I know.. it is his drivers.... does anybody think that they can negotiate their rents with him... ask him to charge a little more.... or even suggest that there are too many drivers....... it seems he preaches one thing.... but runs his business totally different.... so I've been told ... I might be wrong...
I also seem to remember that at one time they advertised that they were agents for the driver... and the latest little thing that when a driver has completed 12 hours he has to push a button that states he is still fit to work..... might have something to do with corporate manslaughter..... keep the standards high ..

Thing is he is telling the LC exactly what they want to hear, so they will be lapping it up.

When the report first came out I thought that some of the big issues could be changed, in my favour or not, but now I think only the side issues can/will be altered. The meat is staying.

I think what he states is revealing, I also think he may be regretting the revelation :shock:
