Dear Mark, Ev and Tom,

You guys covered some very important topics in HL178 (3) that some of the pilots have not kept completely aware of in their maturing into old age.  They have given up on the fight that is well worth the battle with a larger than life corporation taking advantages.

Just want to express a special thanks for all your time and thoughts on our behalf.  THANKS  Mark, Ev, Tom, Jim George and Ann Blaz.  You are very much appreciated.

 Sincerely,

 Jim Salzmann

Jim,

              Letters like yours make it a lot easier to stay the course to the end. I feel like Mark, Ev, and Jim have made a much longer term commitment and deserve thanks from all of us. We are lucky to have them.

Thanks,

Tom

Subject: Your Censorship

 

I have written two e-mails regarding Delta' treatment of retired pilots and neither have been posted.  I have to assume that you received both.  My question is why you choose not to print my opinions since I believe the overwhelming feelings of anger are shared by our unfortunate group.  Have you imbibed the koolaid? Are you just " goody-two-shoes" or do you lack the desire to print honest opinions of a retired pilot? Skip  Getelman  B777 A ATL

 

Editor; Hey Skip, Please look again.  Your post was added to another who had thoughts about DP3 support.  Here is your email as it appears in the HL:

For the record;  On certain issues we certainly have differing points of view and I try my best to allow all positions to be heard.  While I fully support the DP3 and Rob Moser’s effort, I realize there are various opinions within our group.  Just about anyone can be heard as long as the post meets minimal criteria.  For the group that sends in posts and forwards,  I do have to censor some things and others simply do not make the cut when the issue is assembled. 

What will keep your post from appearing? 

1.       Serious profanity that I cannot mask.

2.       too personal 

3.       too political

4.       or simply judged inappropriate for our newsletter for our audience. 

 

Lately the filter I have had to use the most are forwards and posts that are too political.  Skip,  I only received one of your emails and it was included in HL 178.
